Invisalign

Yes, the treatment is generally considered very comfortable and pain-free. The Invisalign aligners are made from clear plastic and are custom made to fit your teeth much like a mouth guard, making them very comfortable. The aligners do not contain any wires or metal pieces, so there is less risk of gum irritation than with traditional braces. They can also be removed for eating and drinking, which means that you don’t need to worry about avoiding certain foods while you undergo orthodontic treatment.

No, Invisalign is not always the option we recommend, so we recommend that you come in for a consultation and assessment so that we can help you determine the best treatment for your case. Invisalign is often used to treat simple dental issues that can be fixed by applying small amounts of pressure to the teeth. In cases of more complex alignment issues, traditional metal braces may be a more suitable option. When you come in and see us, we will help you decide which orthodontic treatment is most suited to your particular issue.

Yes, it is very important that you follow your orthodontist’s instructions when it comes to wearing your Invisalign aligners. This will ensure that you achieve optimal results within the expected time frame. We generally recommend that you wear the aligners every day for at least 22 hours. You can, however, remove the aligner when you eat and drink, as well as when you brush and floss your teeth. Each aligner is worn for around two weeks before it is replaced with a new one as part of the planned straightening process.

Invisalign is an excellent orthodontic option that provides multiple advantages for your dental health. Using Invisalign, you can address various problems such as crowding, overbites, crossbites, and wide gaps while enhancing the overall appearance of your smile. The clear aligners are crafted from a comfortable plastic material, gradually moving your teeth into their perfect alignment, without the need for conspicuous metal brackets or wires. Furthermore, the aligners can be effortlessly removed, allowing you to maintain excellent oral hygiene with ease throughout your treatment process.

The purpose of the Invisalign treatment is to enhance the beauty of your smile by aligning your teeth using clear aligners. To achieve the desired results, you’ll need to wear the aligners for approximately 22 hours each day. When you switch to new aligners, it’s natural to feel some mild and temporary pressure. However, this discomfort is nothing to be concerned about. With a little patience, you’ll soon be enjoying the benefits of a gorgeous, confident smile.

During the initial days of wearing Invisalign aligners, some patients may experience a temporary change in their speech, which is not a cause for alarm. While there may be a slight lisp, this is a minor and fleeting issue that generally fades away as the tongue gets accustomed to the aligners. In most instances, the effect on speech is minimal and not noticeable to others. However, if there are any speech difficulties, they should resolve on their own within a few days to a week. If the problem persists, your dentist can provide further guidance.
