Answers and Explanations<\/h2>\n

1. C. <\/strong>Invisalign braces are clear, acrylic aligners<\/a>. They are virtually invisible, so they won\u2019t affect your appearance and nobody will know you\u2019re undergoing orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n

2. B. <\/strong>You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, and then switch to the next set. This step-by-step process will gradually shift your teeth into proper position. The whole treatment takes about nine to 18 months to properly align your teeth, and you will visit Dr. Pate regularly to check your progress.<\/p>\n

3. A. <\/strong>Invisalign braces are completely removable. You can take them out when you eat food and clean your teeth. You can also slip them off for special occasions<\/a>, if necessary. However, your treatment will only be effective if you wear your aligners as directed and as often as possible.<\/p>\n

4. C. <\/strong>Dr. Pate will take impressions of your mouth so a special lab can generate your customized aligners. Invisalign fits comfortably over your teeth. You don\u2019t have to worry about wires and brackets that poke, cut, and irritate the inside of your mouth.<\/p>\n
