Invisalign FAQs
Read the answers to our most frequently asked questions.
-
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets.
During your consultation, we use advanced 3D imaging technology to design a treatment plan tailored to your unique smile.
From there, a series of custom aligners are created to fit your teeth precisely at each stage of your Invisalign treatment.
-
How does the Invisalign process work?
Invisalign clear plastic aligners are designed to move your teeth in tiny increments as your treatment progresses. You will wear each aligner for a certain number of days before it is replaced by the next one in the series.
This process will continue until your teeth are in their desired positions. The duration of your Invisalign treatment will be determined by your dentist based on your specific needs.
-
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Your dentist will tailor the length of your Invisalign treatment to your individual needs.
The duration can depend on factors such as the alignment of your teeth and jaw, your bite, and how much movement is needed to achieve the desired results.
-
What are Invisalign aligners made of?
The Invisalign aligners are made with USP Class VI medical-grade, high molecular weight polyurethane resins. They are BPA free.
-
How often do I have to visit the dentist?
Since Invisalign aligners don’t require adjustments or tightening, you just switch to the next set as directed. Your dentist will schedule brief checkups every four to six weeks to monitor your progress.
During these visits, they’ll review your overall oral health, answer any questions, and make any adjustments to your treatment plan as needed.
-
What are the primary features of Invisalign?
The features of Invisalign include:
- A discreet, low profile appearance
- Smooth construction for enhanced comfort
- Do not require adjustment appointments
- Removable for eating, brushing and flossing
-
How much does Invisalign cost?
The cost of Invisalign depends on the complexity of your case and the length of your treatment. More severe misalignments typically require more aligners, which can affect the overall cost.
-
What financing options do you offer?
We offer flexible financing options to support your Invisalign treatment journey. Speak to your dentist or click here to learn more.
-
How will Invisalign fit my lifestyle?
Invisalign is designed to fit seamlessly into your daily routine.
You can remove your aligners whenever you eat, drink, brush, or floss. This means no special dietary restrictions, and it’s easy to maintain good oral hygiene throughout your treatment.
-
Are there any food or drink restrictions?
Invisalign aligners are removable, meaning you can take them out to eat. As a result, there are no additional dietary restrictions when it comes to Invisalign, so you can continue to eat all the foods you love!
To avoid staining your clear aligners and potentially damaging your teeth, we recommend removing the aligners when you consume any beverages other than regular water.
-
How many sets of aligners will I need?
How many aligners you’ll need depends on the severity of your misalignment.
During your initial consultation, your dentist will carefully evaluate your teeth and provide an accurate estimate tailored to your treatment needs.
-
Can adults use Invisalign?
Yes! Anyone who has healthy teeth and gums is a potential candidate for Invisalign.
More and more adults are deciding to undergo orthodontic treatment these days, in large part because options like Invisalign have become available.
-
Can teenagers use Invisalign?
Yes! Teens can certainly be candidates for Invisalign. In fact, Invisalign has created a line of aligners to meet the unique needs of teenagers.
Invisalign Teen aligners have compliance indicators on them (small blue dots that fade away after the aligners have been worn enough) to help teens stay on track with their treatment.
They also come with eruption tabs that provide space for second molars and help prevent them from growing in crooked.
-
How often do I have to change my Invisalign aligners?
Most patients switch to a new set of aligners about every two weeks. Your dentist will give you specific instructions on how often to change them.
-
How do I clean my aligners?
Rinse your aligners every time you take them out to remove saliva and plaque, which can contribute to cavities and bad breath.
Soak them as needed using denture cleaner, Retainer Brite, or Invisalign cleaning crystals.
Always brush and floss your teeth before putting your aligners back in. Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for healthy teeth and to prevent cavities. If food or bacteria are trapped between your teeth and aligners, it can increase the risk of dental problems and unpleasant odours.
Cleaning your aligners with a clear, antibacterial soap is an easy and affordable way to keep them fresh, clear, and free of harmful bacteria.
Gently brush your aligners to avoid scratching, then rinse off the soap, and you’re done!
-
Can I play sports with Invisalign?
Invisalign aligners are removable so you can play sports without worrying about causing damage to your aligners.
However, keep in mind that Invisalign aligners must be kept in for a minimum of 22 hours a day, so plan your time carefully.
It is also recommended that you invest in a sports mouth guard to protect your teeth, as orthodontic treatment can cause your teeth to loosen slightly as they shift into their new positions, and this can make them more susceptible to damage.
-
Can I play my instrument with Invisalign?
Yes! Simply remove your aligners if required to practice playing your instrument, and pop them back in when you're done.
-
How do I store my aligners?
Your Invisalign aligners come with a case that should be used whenever you remove your aligners to keep them safe. Because they’re made of plastic, avoid leaving them in hot environments, as heat can cause them to warp or melt.
