FAQs – Invisalign & Clear Aligners

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners that gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. Each set is worn for about two weeks before switching to the next in the series.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Treatment time varies based on your alignment needs but typically ranges from 6 to 18 months for most patients.

Is Invisalign painful?

Invisalign is generally comfortable. You may feel mild pressure or tightness for a few days when switching to a new set of aligners, but this is a sign that your teeth are moving as planned.

Can I remove my Invisalign aligners?

Yes. Invisalign aligners are removable, making it easy to eat, drink, brush, and floss without restrictions. However, you should wear them for 20-22 hours daily for optimal results.

Is Invisalign suitable for everyone?

Invisalign treats most mild to moderate alignment issues. Severe or complex orthodontic cases may require traditional braces. Our team will evaluate your teeth to determine if Invisalign is right for you.

How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?

Rinse them with lukewarm water and brush gently with a soft toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic.
