What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is the clear, comfortable, removable alternative to braces.
How does invisalign work?
Invisalign uses 3-D computer imaging technology to map out the entire teeth straightening treatment from start to finish. From this dental plan, a series of custom-made aligners (alternative to braces) is produced. Each aligner is worn for two weeks and gradually straightens your teeth, before being replaced by the next aligner in the series until the final teeth position is achieved.
How long does an invisalign treatment take?
While treatment time will vary based on the complexity of each individual teeth straightening case, on average total invisalign treatment time is about a year. The average number of aligners worn is between 18 and 30.
How often will I need to come into the dentist office?
You will need to visit the dentist office about every six weeks. We will give you the aligners to change on your own during that six week period.
How do I eat with Invisalign?
The aligners are removed to eat, brush and floss.
How long do I wear the aligners?
The aligners are worn 24 hours a day, except time to eat, brush and floss.
Do the aligners hurt?
There is some slight pressure when the aligners are changed that should resolve within 72 hours. It will not affect eating habits.
What are the benefits of Invisalign?
