But it is a bit more complicated than that and really depends on the person. Here are some of the most common questions that you might have about Invisalign, but feel free to contact us if you want any more details.

Is Invisalign® Right for You?

From mild cases of crooked or protruding teeth to more serious malocclusion, overbite or underbite issues, Invisalign effectively corrects a wide variety of smile problems. If your teeth are overcrowded or there are gaps, Invisalign has an affordable option to help.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign aligner trays are made of clear, virtually invisible plastic that fit comfortably over your teeth. As you wear the aligners, your teeth gradually and safely shift into position. Every couple of weeks, you simply pop in a new aligner. In a gentle, easy manner, your teeth shift until they are aligned in that perfect smile you’ve been dreaming of!

According to the American Dental Association (ADA)straight teeth significantly lower the risk of gum disease and tooth decay, something that this metal-free treatment can offer. After all, what good is a beautiful smile if it not healthy as well?



Pros and Cons of Invisalign


There are several advantages to getting Invisalign instead of opting for traditional braces. Here are some pros of the clear set of aligners:




• Required to Wear Them All the Time: Invisalign must be worn a minimum of 22 hours per day. Typically, you are only supposed to remove them for eating and brushing. Some people might have a tendency to keep the aligner out for a break and this reduces their effectiveness.
• Inconvenience: Invisalign aligners can be a bit annoying. You have to remove them for eating, which means you may deal with some embarrassment when you go out to eat. You are also required to brush your teeth after each meal before putting them back in your mouth, which means you’ll be brushing your teeth multiple times per day, which can be inconvenient.

Which treatment is faster….braces or Invisalign?

The length of the treatment is determined by the severity of each person’s teeth. If there are bite issues, it is sometimes easier and quicker for traditional braces to correct. Invisalign has come a long way, however braces are still the standard in orthodontic treatment. If the case is a simple one, with minimal correction, Invisalign can be the quicker treatment.

Will I experience any pain during treatment?

Most people experience discomfort for a few days after a new aligner is placed. This feeling of pressure is normal and is a sign that the aligners are working by moving your teeth into a better placement.

How do I clean my aligners?

The best way to clean your aligners is to brush and rinse them in lukewarm water.
