Frequently Asked Questions
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are virtually invisible and can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing.
How does Invisalign work?
After an initial consultation, your dentist will create a unique treatment plan using 3D computer imaging technology. This plan maps out the movements of your teeth from their current positions to their final desired alignment. You'll receive a series of custom aligners, each to be worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series.
What dental issues can Invisalign correct?
Invisalign is effective for correcting a wide range of dental problems, including but not limited to, crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite, and underbite. During your consultation, your dentist can determine if Invisalign is the right option for your specific needs.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case but typically ranges from 12 to 18 months. You'll need to wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day for the best results.
Is Invisalign treatment painful?
Invisalign aligners may cause some discomfort or pressure when a new aligner is first worn, but this is usually temporary and considered less painful than traditional braces. Most people adjust to their new aligners within a few days.
Can I eat with Invisalign aligners in?
No, you should remove your Invisalign aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents damage to the aligners and ensures that food doesn't get trapped between the aligners and your teeth, which could lead to cavities.
How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?
It's important to clean your aligners regularly. You can do this by brushing them gently with a toothbrush and rinsing them in lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Invisalign also offers a cleaning system for a deeper clean.
Will wearing Invisalign aligners affect my speech?
Some people may notice a slight lisp when they first start wearing Invisalign aligners. However, this is typically temporary and should disappear as you become accustomed to wearing the aligners.
How often do I need to visit the dentist during Invisalign treatment?
You'll need to visit your dentist for check-ups approximately every 4 to 6 weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned and to receive your next sets of aligners.
Is Invisalign more expensive than braces?
The cost of Invisalign treatment is often comparable to that of traditional braces, but it can vary depending on the complexity of your case. Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign just as they would other orthodontic treatments. It's best to discuss pricing and payment options with your dentist.
