What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a cutting-edge orthodontic treatment that stands out for its use of clear, custom-made aligners. These nearly invisible aligners can be conveniently removed when eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. Each set of aligners gently guides your teeth into their correct positions, offering a comfortable and discreet alternative to the more noticeable traditional braces.

What are the advantages of Invisalign treatment?

Invisalign offers a host of advantages, including the fact that 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, as there are no metal brackets or wires to cause irritation. The treatment is customized for each patient, ensuring precise and predictable results.

Does Invisalign hurt?

Invisalign is typically less painful than traditional braces, but you might experience some discomfort, especially when starting a new set of aligners. This discomfort is usually mild and feels like pressure on your teeth, which usually subsides within a few days as your teeth adjust to the aligners.

Do I need to wear my aligners all day?

Yes, 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, and brushing your teeth, making it a convenient option for your daily life. But it’s important 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 case, but it typically ranges from 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, it’s important to contact your dentist or orthodontist immediately. 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. It’s crucial to avoid wearing broken aligners, as they may not fit properly and could impact your treatment progress.

When will I start seeing results?

Most patients notice 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 guide you on what to expect as your treatment continues.
