What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that sets itself apart from traditional braces. It uses clear, custom-made aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. These aligners, which are nearly invisible, can be removed when eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. Each set of aligners gently shifts your teeth into the desired position, offering a comfortable and discreet alternative to the metal brackets and wires of traditional braces.
What are the advantages of Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign offers several key benefits. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them a discreet option for teeth straightening. They are also removable, allowing you to eat, drink, and maintain your oral hygiene with ease. Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces since there are no metal brackets or wires that could cause irritation. The treatment is customized for each patient, ensuring precise and predictable results, giving you the confidence that your smile will be exactly as planned.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Invisalign is typically less painful than traditional braces, but you might feel some discomfort, especially when starting a new set of aligners. This discomfort is usually mild and feels more like pressure on your teeth, which typically subsides after a few days as your teeth adjust to the new aligners. Knowing this, you can be prepared for what to expect during your treatment.
Do I need to wear my aligners all day?
Yes, for 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, and brushing your teeth, but it’s crucial 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 your specific case, but it typically takes between 12 to 18 months. Some patients may start seeing noticeable changes in just a few weeks. Your dentist or orthodontist will provide a more accurate timeline based on your needs.
Can I eat and drink while wearing aligners?
You should remove your aligners before 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 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 suggest wearing a previous set of aligners, moving on to the next set if it’s almost time, or waiting for a replacement. Avoid wearing broken aligners, as they may 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 case. Your dentist or orthodontist will monitor your progress and guide you on what to expect as your treatment continues.
