Frequently Asked Questions
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, these aligners are virtually invisible and can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign aligners are custom-made using advanced 3-D computer imaging technology. They are designed to shift your teeth gradually into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the individual's needs. On average, it can take anywhere from 12 to 18 months, but you might start seeing results in a few weeks.
Is Invisalign as effective as traditional braces?
Yes, for most cases, Invisalign is as effective as traditional braces. It is suitable for treating a wide range of dental issues, including overcrowding, gaps, and certain bite problems.
Can anyone get Invisalign?
Invisalign is suitable for most teenagers and adults. However, it may not be the best option for more complex orthodontic issues. A consultation with a certified Invisalign dentist is necessary to determine if it's right for you.
How often do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners?
For optimal results, it is recommended to wear Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing.
How do I care for my Invisalign aligners?
Clean your aligners regularly with Invisalign cleaning crystals or by brushing and rinsing them in lukewarm water. Avoid hot water as it can warp the plastic.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Some people might experience a slight lisp initially, but most adjust quickly to speaking with aligners within a few days.
How much does Invisalign cost?
The cost of Invisalign treatment is comparable to traditional braces but can vary based on individual needs and treatment duration. Consult with your dentist for a detailed quote.
Does dental insurance cover Invisalign?
