Benefits of Invisalign
Discreet Appearance
Invisalign aligners are made from clear plastic, making them almost invisible. They blend in with your teeth, so people may not even notice you're wearing them.
Comfortable Treatment
Invisalign aligners are smooth and custom-fitted to your teeth, meaning they are much more comfortable than traditional braces with metal brackets and wires. There are no sharp edges to irritate the inside of your mouth.
Removable Aligners
One of the biggest benefits of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. You can take them out to eat, drink, brush, and floss, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene.
Fewer Orthodontic Visits
While traditional braces may require more frequent adjustments, Invisalign typically requires fewer visits to the orthodontist. You'll receive several sets of aligners at once and only need to visit your orthodontist every 6-8 weeks to track your progress.
Predictable Results
Invisalign uses advanced 3D imaging technology to create a treatment plan that shows exactly how your teeth will move over time. This allows you to visualize your results before even starting treatment.
How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?
The length of Invisalign treatment depends on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners. On average, Invisalign treatment takes between 12 and 18 months, though some people may see results in as little as 6 months.
Your orthodontist will create a personalized treatment plan and timeline to suit your needs.
How to Care for Invisalign Aligners
Proper care of your Invisalign aligners is important to keep them clean and effective. Here are some tips to maintain your aligners:
- Use lukewarm water and a toothbrush (not toothpaste) to gently clean your aligners.
- Hot water can warp the aligners, so always use lukewarm or cool water.
- Brush your teeth before reinserting the aligners to prevent bacteria buildup and ensure they stay fresh.
- Always keep your aligners in their case when you’re not wearing them to prevent loss or damage.
- Only drink water with your aligners in to avoid staining or damaging them.
