What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that sets itself apart from traditional braces. It utilizes clear, custom-made aligners that are nearly invisible and can be removed when eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. Each set of aligners is meticulously designed to make precise adjustments to the position of your teeth, ensuring a straighter smile with unparalleled comfort and convenience.
What are the advantages of Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign offers a host of advantages, with the discreet appearance of clear aligners being just the beginning. The aligners are removable, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene and enjoy your favourite foods without restrictions. What’s more, Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces, with no metal brackets or wires to cause irritation. The treatment is also customized for each patient, ensuring precise and predictable results.
Does Invisalign hurt?
While Invisalign is generally less painful than traditional braces, it’s important to note that you may experience some discomfort, especially when starting a new set of aligners. This discomfort is typically mild and is often described as a feeling of pressure rather than pain. It usually subsides after a few days as your teeth adjust to the aligners.
Do I need to wear my aligners all day?
To achieve the best results, you should wear your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day. You can remove them when eating, drinking anything other than water, or 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 duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case, but it typically lasts between 12 to 18 months. Some patients may start seeing noticeable improvements in just a few weeks. Your dentist or orthodontist will provide a more specific estimate based on your needs.
Can I eat and drink while wearing aligners?
It’s best to remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. Eating with the aligners can damage them, and coloured beverages can stain them. Brushing your teeth before putting the aligners back in after eating is recommended to maintain good oral hygiene and avoid staining.
What do I do if my aligners break?
If your aligners break, contact your dentist or orthodontist right away. 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 might not fit properly and could affect your treatment progress.
When will I start seeing results?
Most patients notice changes within a few weeks of starting Invisalign treatment. However, the timing varies depending on your specific case. Your dentist or orthodontist will monitor your progress and guide you on what to expect as your treatment progresses.
