Invisalign uses clear,custom-made aligners that gradually shift your teeth. You wear each set for about two weeks, allowing your teeth to move into place without wires or brackets.
Q:
A:
Will I feel pain while using Invisalign?
Invisalign is designed for comfort, but you may feel slight pressure when switching to a new aligner. This is normal and means your teeth are shifting as planned.
Q:
A:
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment time varies, but most cases take 12 to 18 months. Wearing aligners for 20-22 hours daily speeds up the process and ensures great results.
Q:
A:
Can I eat or drink while wearing aligners?
Remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything besides water. This prevents stains and damage. Brush before putting them back in for a fresh, clean feel.
Q:
A:
Will I need a retainer after finishing Invisalign?
Yes! Retainers keep your teeth from shifting back. Your dentist will recommend how long to wear them—usually full-time at first, then just at night.
