Invisalign works through a series of custom-made aligners that gradually move your teeth into their desired positions. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before switching to the next set.

Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, comfortable to wear, and removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss with ease. They also require fewer visits to the orthodontist compared to traditional braces.

Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. A consultation with an Invisalign provider can determine if it’s the right choice for your dental needs.

Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, Invisalign treatment can take between 12 to 18 months. Your orthodontist will provide a personalized timeline during your consultation.

Invisalign aligners may cause mild discomfort or pressure when you start wearing a new set, but this is normal and typically subsides after a few days as your teeth adjust.

For optimal results, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking (anything other than water), brushing, and flossing.

Aligners should be removed before eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent damage and maintain oral hygiene. It’s important to brush your teeth before putting your aligners back in.

You can clean your aligners by gently brushing them with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Special cleaning crystals or solutions may also be recommended.

If you lose or break an aligner, contact your orthodontist immediately. Depending on your treatment progress, they may advise using your previous aligner or advancing to the next set to minimize disruption.
