Here are some of the most frequently asked questions and answers regarding Invisalign:


How does Invisalign treatment work?

Invisalign uses smooth, comfortable plastic trays known as aligners to straighten your teeth. You receive your first set of aligners, which you wear for two weeks, and then you move on to another set of aligners, which you wear for another two weeks. You move on to a new set of aligners every two weeks as your teeth gradually move into position. You will visit your dentist every few weeks to monitor your progress toward your straight smile.


Why should I choose Invisalign?

Invisalign's straightening aligners are very comfortable because they are crafted from custom-molds of your mouth. Due to the transparent nature of these aligners, Invisalign treatment is also discreet, as they are virtually invisible to those around you. Convenience is also a wonderful benefit of Invisalign because you can remove the aligners to eat the foods you love, and to perform your oral care routine.


How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Invisalign treatment is completed in an average of nine to fifteen months.


What issues can Invisalign fix?

Invisalign can correct many of the same issues as conventional orthodontic treatment, including overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, tooth rotation, tooth overlap, and closing gaps between your teeth. However, if these issues are major/systemic, you may need to opt for traditional orthodontic treatment.
