FAQ
How does Invisalign work to straighten teeth?
Invisalign clear aligners gradually move your teeth using a series of custom-made, removable trays. Each aligner applies gentle, consistent pressure to guide your teeth into their desired positions. You will wear each set of aligners for 1-2 weeks before switching to the next. Over time, the aligners shift your teeth into alignment, providing a more comfortable and discreet alternative to traditional braces.
What are the advantages of Invisalign compared to traditional braces?
Invisalign offers several advantages over traditional braces. The aligners are virtually invisible, making them ideal for patients who want a more discreet option. They are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss without restrictions. Additionally, Invisalign aligners are made from smooth, BPA-free plastic, providing a more comfortable fit with no metal brackets or wires to cause irritation.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The length of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and how closely you follow the treatment plan. On average, most patients complete treatment within 12 to 18 months. Some minor adjustments may take as little as six months. During your consultation, a customized plan is created and regular progress check-ins ensure your treatment stays on track for the best results.
How do I care for my Invisalign aligners?
To keep your Invisalign aligners clean and clear, rinse them under lukewarm water each time you remove them. Use a soft toothbrush and mild soap to gently clean them daily — avoid using hot water, as it can warp the trays. Always store your aligners in their case when not in use, and remember to maintain excellent oral hygiene by brushing and flossing before putting them back in.
