What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses clear, custom-made aligners to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, these invisible aligners are removable and fit snugly over your teeth. They gently shift your teeth into place over time, adjusting each new set of aligners. Invisalign® is a popular choice for those seeking a more discreet and comfortable way to achieve a straighter smile.

What are the advantages of Invisalign treatment?

Invisalign offers numerous advantages over traditional braces. The aligners are nearly invisible, providing a discreet option for teeth straightening. They’re also removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss without any restrictions. Invisalign is known for its comfort, as there are no metal brackets or wires that can cause irritation. The treatment is custom-designed for each patient, ensuring precise and predictable results, making it a convenient and comfortable choice for a straighter smile.

Does Invisalign hurt?

Invisalign is generally less painful than traditional braces. While you may experience some discomfort, especially when you start a new set of aligners, it’s usually mild and temporary. Most people describe it as pressure rather than pain, and it typically subsides after a few days, ensuring a relatively pain-free experience.

Do I need to wear my aligners all day?

Yes, for Invisalign to be effective, you should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily. You can take them out while eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing your teeth, but it’s essential to wear them consistently to stay on track with your treatment plan.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

The length of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case, but it typically ranges from 12 to 18 months. However, some patients may see noticeable improvements in just a few weeks. Your dentist or orthodontist will give you a more precise estimate based on your needs.

Can I eat and drink while wearing aligners?

You should remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. Eating with aligners in can damage them, and coloured beverages can stain them. After eating, brushing your teeth before putting the aligners back in is recommended to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent staining.

What do I do if my aligners break?

If your aligners break, contact your dentist or orthodontist immediately. Depending on the situation, they may advise you to wear a previous set of aligners, move on to the next set if it’s almost time, or wait for a replacement. Avoid wearing broken aligners, as they may not fit properly and could impact your treatment progress.

When will I start seeing results?

Many patients start noticing changes within a few weeks of starting Invisalign treatment. However, the timing can vary depending on your specific case. Your dentist or orthodontist will monitor your progress and tell you what to expect.
