Invisalign is a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. With Invisalign, busy adults can seek a straighter smile without compromising aesthetics. Invisalign offers a clear and convenient solution.
Why Choose Invisalign?
Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible. This allows you to straighten your teeth without drawing unwanted attention. You can take pictures and attend events without worrying about metal braces. Additionally, the aligners are crafted from smooth, comfortable materials. As a result, these aligners won’t irritate your cheeks or gums. A common complaint with metal braces is the pain from brackets or wires. However, you won’t run into this issue with Invisalign.
With Invisalign, you can enjoy the flexibility of removable aligners. This means that you can take them out for meals, special occasions, or when you need a break. As long as you wear them for an average of 20-22 hours a day, you can enjoy your smile journey with satisfying results. This can give you the freedom to live life on your terms.
In many cases, Invisalign treatment is faster than traditional braces. While your results may vary, our team is dedicated to providing efficient and effective orthodontic care.
Invisalign FAQs
Invisalign is one of the most popular forms of teeth straightening. Learn more by reading the answers to these commonly asked questions.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Treatment times vary depending on the individual. The severity of your tooth alignment may be worse than someone else’s, so your treatment will take longer. We create a personalized treatment plan customized to your needs and timeline. On average, Invisalign takes around 12-18 months to complete.
Does Invisalign treatment hurt?
No, you shouldn’t feel any severe or lingering pain with Invisalign. You should expect mild soreness and discomfort when you switch to a new set of aligners. This indicates that the treatment is working properly. You feel this because the aligners shift your teeth into a new position, and your mouth adjusts. If your pain lasts for a few days or longer, you should call our office.
How long do I need to wear Invisalign aligners each day?
To ensure your treatment progresses properly, you must wear your aligners for at least 20-22 hours daily. You should only take them out when performing your oral healthcare routine or eating and drinking things that aren’t water. If you don’t wear your aligners enough, your treatment won’t end when you’re expecting.
Can I speed up my Invisalign treatment?
No, and it’s dangerous to do so. Some assume they can immediately switch to the next set because the soreness disappears after they switch out their aligners, but this isn’t the case. Not only do your teeth need to adjust, but the bones and gum tissue as well. They don’t get used to the new alignment as quickly. If you change the aligners before your mouth is ready, your teeth can loosen or even fall out. It compromises the integrity of your teeth’s support.
Can Invisalign aligners change how I speak?
Like many other orthodontic devices, you may have a slight speech impediment at the start. Some patients report having a lisp for the first few days of Invisalign treatment. As you continue to wear the aligners, you’ll get used to them, and the lisp and speech issues will fade.
Am I a good candidate for Invisalign?
Invisalign treats mild to moderate orthodontic concerns. If you have more severe orthodontic issues, we may have to refer you to a trusted local orthodontist for more intensive treatment. Smokers must stop smoking while they’re undergoing Invisalign treatment, or they won’t be eligible. There are some oral health problems that we need to treat before you get Invisalign, too.
