What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is an innovative orthodontic treatment that uses clear, custom-made aligners to straighten teeth gradually. These aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed when eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. Each set of aligners gently moves your teeth into place, offering a comfortable and discreet alternative to traditional braces.

What are the advantages of Invisalign treatment?

Invisalign offers several advantages, including the nearly invisible appearance of the aligners, making them a discreet option for teeth straightening. They are removable, so you can eat, drink, and maintain your oral hygiene with ease. Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces, with no metal brackets or wires that can cause irritation. The treatment is customized to your specific needs, ensuring precise and predictable results, giving you confidence in your smile transformation.

Does Invisalign hurt?

Invisalign is usually less painful than traditional braces, but you may experience some discomfort, particularly when starting a new set of aligners. This discomfort is typically mild and feels like pressure on your teeth, which generally subsides within a few days as your teeth adjust. Some patients may also experience temporary speech difficulties or increased saliva production, but these usually subside as the mouth adjusts 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 specific case, but it typically takes between 12 to 18 months. Some patients may start noticing changes within 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 best 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 varies depending on your specific case. Your dentist or orthodontist will monitor your progress and guide you on what to expect as your treatment continues.
