INVISALIGN® FAQ

  • What is Invisalign?

    Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made, clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without the need for traditional metal braces.

  • How does Invisalign work?

    Invisalign aligners are made from 3D digital scans of your teeth and are designed to move your teeth into their desired positions incrementally. You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to the next set in the series.

  • What are the benefits of Invisalign?

    Invisalign offers several benefits, including near-invisibility, removability for eating and cleaning, increased comfort compared to traditional braces, and no dietary restrictions.

  • Who is a good candidate for Invisalign?

    Invisalign is suitable for teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic issues, such as crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. A consultation with our orthodontists can determine if Invisalign is right for you.

  • How long does Invisalign treatment take?

    The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case but typically ranges from 12 to 18 months. Your orthodontist will provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific needs.

  • How often do I need to wear Invisalign aligners?

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

  • How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?

    Clean your Invisalign aligners by brushing them with a soft toothbrush and rinsing them with lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the aligners.

  • Can I eat and drink with Invisalign aligners in?

    No, you should remove your Invisalign aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent staining and damage. Always brush your teeth before reinserting the aligners.

  • Are Invisalign aligners comfortable?

    Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, flexible plastic, making them more comfortable than traditional metal braces. Some initial discomfort or pressure may be felt as your teeth adjust, but this typically subsides within a few days.

  • How often do I need to visit the orthodontist during Invisalign treatment?

    Patients typically need to visit the orthodontist every 6-8 weeks for check-ups to ensure the treatment is progressing as planned and to receive the next sets of aligners.

  • Can Invisalign fix complex orthodontic issues?

    Invisalign is effective for many mild to moderate orthodontic issues, but severe cases may require alternative treatments. Our orthodontists will assess your condition and recommend the best treatment plan for you.

  • What happens if I lose or break an aligner?

    If you lose or break an aligner, contact our office immediately. In some cases, you may be advised to wear the previous or next set of aligners until a replacement is provided.

  • Is Invisalign treatment covered by insurance?

    Many dental insurance plans cover Invisalign treatment similarly to traditional braces. Check with your insurance provider and our office for more details on coverage and payment options.

  • Can teenagers use Invisalign?

    Yes, Invisalign Teen is specifically designed for teenagers, with features such as compliance indicators and eruption tabs to accommodate growing teeth and ensure effective treatment.

  • What should I do if my Invisalign aligners aren't fitting properly?

    If your Invisalign aligners aren't fitting properly, contact our office as soon as possible. Ill-fitting aligners can hinder progress, so it's important to address the issue promptly with your orthodontist.
