  • What is Invisalign?
    Invisalign is a series of clear, custom-fitted aligners that straighten your teeth without the metal wires or brackets that come with braces. At the beginning of treatment, advanced 3D computer imaging technology is used to create a treatment plan based on your individual needs. Based on this plan, a series of custom clear aligners will then be manufactured to fit your teeth precisely during each stage of the Invisalign treatment process.
  • How does the process work?
    Invisalign aligners are designed to move your teeth by small increments throughout your treatment. This process will continue until your teeth are in their correct positions.
  • How long does the treatment take? How often do I have to change my aligners?
    The duration of your Invisalign treatment will be determined based on your specific case.You will wear each aligner for about 20 to 22 hours per day over two weeks before replacing it with the next one in the series.
  • How often will I have to visit the dentist?
    As Invisalign aligners require no adjustments or tightening, your dentist will book brief appointments with you every 4 to 6 weeks. During these appointments, your dentist will review your progress and general oral health with you, answer your questions, and make changes to your treatment if required.
  • How much does Invisalign cost?
    The cost of your treatment with Invisalign will depend on the severity of your case and duration of treatment.
  • Will there be any food or drink restrictions?
    There are no dietary restrictions with Invisalign since you can take them out to eat. To avoid staining your clear aligners, we suggest removing them when you consume beverages such as wine, coffee, or dark sodas.
  • What age do I have to be to use Invisalign?
    Anyone with healthy adult teeth and gums is a potential candidate for Invisalign.
  • How do I clean and store my aligners?
    Your Invisalign aligners will arrive with a case, and this is where you should put your aligners whenever you take them out to keep them from getting damaged.
  • Can I continue everyday life with Invisalign (e.g sports, instruments)?
    Yes, you can continue everyday life with Invisalign! For example: you can play sports without worrying about causing damage to your Invisalign aligners, as they are removable. But you'll also want to invest in a sports mouth guard to protect your teeth. Orthodontic treatment may cause your teeth to loosen slightly as they shift into their new positions, and this can make them more susceptible to damage.
