Invisalign®
As its name suggests, Invisalign means “invisible aligners.” Invisalign® is an orthodontic device that is a transparent, plastic form of dental braces used to adjust teeth. It helps with teeth straightening without using visible and uncomfortable metal braces.
1
What is the difference between braces and Invisalign®?
Braces are glued onto your teeth and once the metal wires are attached they cannot be removed. Invisalign, on the other hand, are clear aligner trays that are fitted perfectly to your teeth and can be removed easily at any time.
2
Is Invisalign® better than braces?
Invisalign and other brands of clear aligners are best for adults who want a nearly invisible and more comfortable straightening method, as long as the teeth aren't too crooked. Braces are better for people with severe crookedness and most kids and teens.
3
How painful is Invisalign®?
No, Invisalign isn't painful, but it can leave a person's teeth feeling sore. Think of it just like traditional orthodontic treatment. When you first get braces, your teeth may feel uncomfortable given the pressure being exerted.
4
How long will Invisalign® last?
On average, Invisalign devices require 12-18 months of routine use for full results. You'll likely notice improvements along the way, however, as your teeth gradually shift and you move from one set of Invisalign trays to the next.
5
Can you eat with Invisalign®?
When you wear Invisalign, you can continue to eat all the foods you love. You don't have the limitations that wearers of conventional braces do, a perk for wearers of both Invisalign Teen and Invisalign for adults. However, you will have to take it off and clean it later.
6
Do you sleep with Invisalign®?
Yes; you must wear the aligners for at least 22 hours a day. So, this includes when you are sleeping. However, if you wear braces, you'll wear them all the time, 24 hours.
7
How often will I have appointments with my Invisalign®?
Your appointment for Invisalign will be scheduled for regular appointments, usually about once every four to six weeks. The goal of these visits is to ensure your Invisalign treatment is progressing as planned. You will keep getting the next Invisalign until we reach the final goal.
