Orthodontic treatment is the process of moving the teeth within the socket, within the bone to reposition them in a more hygienic and aesthetically pleasing way and in many cases a more functional way.
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that utilizes a set of aligners made from hard plastic. The aligners fit over the teeth and are designed by a computer with digital software to slowly, over time, reposition the teeth. The rigidity in the Invisalign plastic material is what allows for the pushing, torquing, or moving of the teeth to a more ideal position.
