Will Invisalign work?
Jun 19th, 2008 by Dr. Kourosh Maddahi DDS
Yes, Invisalign does work. It is a good solution for people who do not want to wear braces, but are looking to straighten their teeth. However with Invisalign or even other orthodontic treatments, patients over the age of 18 will need to wear a retainer once their treatments are completed.
Because Invisalign consists of a series of removable trays, the patient’s compliance is of utmost importance. With braces, the orthodonitc treatment is constant, so you don’t need as much patient compliance as you do with Invisalign.
