Invisalign® FAQs
“My experience was very pleasant... Everyone one in the office was very pleasant and professional. I had my exam, they hygienist was excellent and very informative and the Dr. was very clear and concise in giving me all the information needed.”
How does Invisalign Work?
You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to their final positions.
How long does treatment take?
You'll visit us about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned.
Total treatment time averages nine to 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
Will Invisalign fit my lifestyle?
There's no need to change a thing. Continue your day-to-day activities while still straightening your teeth.
Be yourself with Invisalign aligners. Since they are clear, you don't have to hide your smile while going through treatment.
Time for a snack? No problem. Take out your aligners to eat or drink whenever you want.
You can remove your Invisalign aligners, so you can brush and floss regularly, and keep your teeth and gums healthy.
What are the advantages of Invisalign?
Not only do Invisalign clear aligners easily fit into your active lifestyle, but they offer other advantages:
- Unlike braces, you have the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment simply by removing the aligners when you eat.
- You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and good oral hygiene.
- Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign treatment does not use metal brackets or wires that could cause irritation to your mouth. In addition, you'll spend less time in the doctor's chair and scheduling appointments, and more time out doing the things you love.
- Invisalign®’s technology allows you to view your virtual results and treatment plan before you start your treatment, so that you can preview how your straight teeth will look once your treatment is complete.
