Invisalign FAQ
What is Invisalignยฎ?
Invisalignยฎ is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses clear, custom-made aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners are virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable, providing an alternative to traditional metal braces.
How does Invisalignยฎ work?
Invisalignยฎ works by gradually shifting your teeth into the desired position using a series of clear, custom-made aligners. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately 1-2 weeks, then replaced with the next set in the series until your teeth are perfectly aligned.
How long will I need to wear Invisalignยฎ?
The length of treatment depends on your individual needs and the complexity of your case. On average, Invisalignยฎ treatment can take anywhere from 6 months to 18 months. Your orthodontist will give you a more precise estimate during your consultation.
How often do I need to wear my Invisalignยฎ aligners?
For the best results, itโs recommended that you wear your Invisalignยฎ aligners for 20-22 hours per day, only removing them for eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth.
Can I eat and drink with Invisalignยฎ?
Invisalignยฎ aligners are removable, so you can take them out to eat and drink. This means you can continue to enjoy all your favorite foods without worrying about damaging your braces. Just be sure to brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in to maintain oral hygiene.
Are Invisalignยฎ aligners comfortable?
Yes! Unlike traditional braces, Invisalignยฎ aligners have smooth edges, making them comfortable to wear with minimal irritation to your gums and cheeks. You may experience slight discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners, but this is normal and typically resolves within a few days.
