Teeth straightening with Invisalign®

Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move your teeth into the correct position. Each set of aligners is worn for 1-2 weeks, applying gentle pressure to shift your teeth without the need for metal brackets or wires.

The length of treatment varies depending on your individual case, but most Invisalign treatments take between 6 and 18 months. Some patients start seeing results in as little as 3 months.

Invisalign is designed to be comfortable, but you may feel slight pressure when switching to a new set of aligners. This is completely normal and a sign that your teeth are moving as planned. Any discomfort usually fades within a few days.

You should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and damage to the aligners. Always brush your teeth before putting them back in to maintain good oral hygiene.

For Invisalign to work effectively, you need to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

If you don’t wear your aligners as recommended, your teeth may shift back to their original position, potentially extending your treatment time. It’s important to wear them consistently to achieve the best results.

Invisalign can treat a variety of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. However, for very complex cases, traditional braces may be recommended. Your dentist will assess whether Invisalign is right for you during your consultation.

Yes, after completing Invisalign treatment, you’ll need to wear a retainer to maintain your new smile. Teeth can naturally shift over time, so retainers help keep them in place. Your dentist will advise on how often to wear it.
