Has anyone ever worn invisiline braces before?

Question: How does that little piece of plastic (or whatever it is) molding shift your teeth? I still can't understand how it has the ability to move teeth into place.

After you have your impressions taken, they are scanned into a computer. A virtual model of your teeth is created in the computer. Very small movements are done on this virtual model. From this computer image, a real model of your teeth is made. Some more very small movements are made on the virtual model, and so on. This keeps up until a whole series of thin plastic appliances is created to guide your teeth to the desired end position. The plastic is thin, but pretty strong. When it first goes in, it feels tight, because it is pressing on the places on your teeth where they have to move. After a few days, the tighness goes away and you know your teeth have moved. You change appliances every two weeks until your case is done.

The same way metalic ones work. They are fit to be tight on your teeth, and every so often, you get a new mold. The only advantage is it doesn't make you look dorky.
