"Hey, Dr. Scher! How, exactly, does Invisalign work?" [Video]

Have you ever thought about Invisalign treatment and how it manages to straighten teeth without using braces at all? The Invisalign system is a state-of-the-art system of clear, removable aligners that we at Scher Orthodontics proudly offer at our convenient Westport location. Dr. Steven Scher offers Invisalign for teens and adults, and has some resources on our website for you to check out about Invisalign. You may also give our office a call at 203-227-6061 to learn if this revolutionary new treatment option is right for you!

How does Invisalign work? Well, you'll wear each set of aligners for about 2 weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move - little by little, week by week - until they have straightened to the final position Dr. Scher has prescribed. You'll visit Dr. Scher about once every 4-8 weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!!
