Does Invisalign move back teeth first?

A lot of people use Invisalign aligners to improve their smiles. Clear Invisalign aligners are a dental treatment used to shape your misaligned teeth better. While using Invisalign aligners, you will see a difference in the position of your teeth because Invisalign helps your teeth to move to a better place to give you a perfect smile.

Invisalign aligners or invisible braces are nearly invisible, and people can’t tell you are them if they don’t look closely. Compared to traditional braces, Invisalign is a more comfortable and easy way to correct your smile. First, they will move back your teeth and then align them properly with the shape of your Invisalign.

How does Invisalign move your teeth back?

After a week or two, you have started your Invisalign treatment; you will notice that your teeth are moving slightly. Invisalign treatment uses the natural processes that are already happening in your mouth to move back the teeth to a better position so they can look less crowded and congested.

First, your Invisalign trays gently capture the forces and compression and manipulate your teeth so that they can reposition gently over time. In addition, Invisalign aligners put constant pressure on your teeth to gradually move them into an alignment that matches the position of your Invisalign tray. Not only this, but Invisalign treatment also helps to create or fill gaps between your two teeth to make them look more aligned and less crowded when you close your mouth. Later after your teeth are moved back to a better position, the movement is followed by the deposition of new bones.

Once you are done with your first set of Invisalign trays, you have to wear your second tray, which will help bring the front teeth slightly forward so you don’t have a problem closing your mouth.

Lastly, if you face any problem with your Invisalign treatment, it is important to consult your dentist for proper treatment.
