Who is the ideal candidate for Invisalign?
Ideal candidates for Invisalign are typically adults or teens with mild to moderate malocclusions, such as overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, gapped teeth, and/or crowded teeth.
Furthermore, ideal candidates should be willing to commit fully to wearing their aligners for at least 22 hours per day and have good oral hygiene to maintain their clear aligners.
They should make regular dental appointments with their orthodontist to ensure successful treatment.
What are Invisalign clear trays made of?
Invisalign aligners and retainers are crafted from medical-grade thermoplastic polymers chosen for their impressive combination of properties and safety classification.
The FDA has approved the use of these polymers for long-term wear in the human mouth, and extensive biocompatibility tests have proven them to be suitable for such use, meeting all necessary regulatory requirements.
Moreover, their high molecular weight ensures that they provide superior strength, longevity and durability.
