Most Invisalign treatments take somewhere around 12 to 18 months, but your exact timeline depends on how much movement your teeth need. Don’t worry—your dentist will give you a clear estimate after your first visit.
No, Invisalign aligners must be removed when eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents food from damaging or staining the aligners. It also helps avoid food particles getting trapped, which could affect your oral hygiene.
To achieve optimal results, aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day. You can take them out easily for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. The more consistently you wear them, the faster and more effective the treatment will be.
Invisalign may cause mild discomfort or pressure when you switch to a new set of aligners. This is normal and temporary as your teeth shift into position. The discomfort usually lasts only a few days after switching aligners.
Just rinse them daily and brush gently with a soft toothbrush. For a more thorough clean, you may soak them in an aligner-safe solution. Be sure to use cool or lukewarm water—hot water can warp them!
In the beginning, you may notice a slight lisp or difficulty speaking clearly, especially when you first start wearing the aligners. However, this typically improves within a few days as your mouth adjusts to the aligners.
Yes, Invisalign is compatible with most dental restorations. During your consultation, your dentist will check that the aligners fit properly over any existing work, such as crowns, fillings, or bridges.
Expect to visit us about every 6 to 8 weeks. We’ll check how things are going and give you your next aligners. These appointments are typically quick and easy—much simpler than braces!
Invisalign works great for both adults and teens! For younger patients, there are teen-specific aligners that include wear-time indicators—making it easy to stay on schedule and get the best results.
After your treatment, you’ll probably need a retainer to keep your smile in place. Don’t worry—it’s easy to wear and helps prevent your teeth from moving back. We’ll let you know exactly when and how long to wear it.
