WHAT IS THE INVISALIGN SYSTEM?

The Invisalign system is a clear, removable orthodontic treatment that uses custom-made aligners to straighten teeth and correct dental issues. The aligners are made from clear, BPA-free plastic and gradually shift the teeth into their correct positions over time. Invisalign treatment is convenient and flexible, with easy-to-clean and maintain aligners and a treatment process that typically requires fewer office visits than traditional braces.

HOW LONG DOES INVISALIGN TREATMENT TAKE?

The length of Invisalign treatment can vary depending on the complexity of the dental issues being addressed, but most patients can expect to wear Invisalign aligners for anywhere from six to 18 months. During your consultation, your orthodontist will evaluate your dental needs and provide you with a personalized treatment plan that includes an estimated timeline for your treatment.

ARE INVISALIGN ALIGNERS COMFORTABLE TO WEAR?

Yes, Invisalign aligners are designed to fit snugly over your teeth and are made from a smooth, comfortable material that won’t irritate your gums or cheeks. While there may be some mild discomfort during the initial stages of treatment, most patients find that Invisalign aligners are comfortable and easy to wear.

HOW DO I CARE FOR MY INVISALIGN ALIGNERS?

To keep your Invisalign aligners clean and in good condition, you should rinse them with water each time you take them out to eat or drink, and brush them gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste each day. You should also avoid eating or drinking anything other than water while wearing your aligners, as this can damage or stain the plastic material. Additionally, be sure to store your aligners in their case when not in use to protect them from damage or loss.
