Q: What is it like to use Invisalign aligners?
A: During treatment, you will wear your aligners for as much time as you can during the day. You will take out your aligners when it is time to eat, drink anything other than water, and clean your smile. When your aligners are in place they will fit snugly over your teeth, and, because they are clear, they will allow your natural smile to shine through.
Q: How long does it take to complete Invisalign treatment?
A: Treatment duration will vary depending on the patient’s existing smile, and what types of cosmetic changes he or she wants to make. In general, however, Invisalign takes between a year and a year and a half to deliver full results. Once the treatment process is complete, you will wear an aligner at night in order to help you maintain optimal results.
Q: How do I know if Invisalign is right for me?
A: Invisalign is appropriate for many dental patients who are good candidates for traditional orthodontics. If you want to straighten your smile, close gaps between teeth, correct bite problems, or improve the symmetry of your bite, Invisalign may be able to help. The best way to find out for sure whether you can benefit from this treatment is to schedule a consultation!
