FAQ
How does Invisalign Treatment work to straighten teeth?
Invisalign aligners straighten teeth using a series of custom-made, clear aligners that are worn over your teeth. These aligners are designed to apply gentle, controlled forces to your teeth, gradually shifting them into the desired position. Every set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before being replaced with the next set in the series. This process continues until your teeth have moved into their final, corrected positions. The treatment plan is highly personalized, with each aligner custom-fitted to your unique dental structure, ensuring an effective and comfortable orthodontic experience.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case, but it generally ranges from 12 to 18 months. However, some patients may see results in as little as six months, while more complex cases could take up to two years. During your initial consultation, our orthodontist will provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs. To achieve the best results within the expected timeframe, it is important to wear your aligners for the recommended 20 to 22 hours per day, only removing them for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing.
Is Invisalign treatment suitable for everyone, including teens?
Invisalign clear aligners are suitable for a wide range of orthodontic issues and is an excellent option for both adults and teens. Invisalign Teen®, a version designed specifically for younger patients, includes features like compliance indicators to ensure the aligners are being worn as prescribed. However, not everyone is an ideal candidate for Invisalign treatment. Patients with severe bite issues or complex orthodontic problems may require traditional braces or other treatments. Our orthodontist will assess your situation during the initial consultation and recommend the best treatment option for you.
What are the benefits of choosing the Invisalign aligner system over traditional braces?
Invisalign aligners offer several benefits over traditional braces, making it a popular choice for many patients. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth discreetly. They are also removable, which means you can eat your favorite foods without restrictions and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine with ease. Additionally, Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic, reducing the risk of irritation to your cheeks and gums that can occur with metal brackets and wires. These advantages make Invisalign clear aligners a comfortable, convenient and aesthetically pleasing option for orthodontic treatment.
