Invisalign® FAQ's

What is Invisalign®?

• Invisalign® is the clinically proven, nearly invisible way to straighten teeth without metal braces.
• You wear a series of clear, removable aligners which gradually move your teeth into the desired position. Our aligners can be removed for eating and cleaning.

How does it work?

• Based on our diagnosis, a series of aligners are custom made in a laboratory using advanced computer imaging technology.
• You wear each aligner for two weeks before being replaced with the next one, until your teeth are straight.

Why should I select Invisalign®?

• Aligners are nearly Invisible- straighten your teeth without anyone noticing.
• Aligners are Comfortable- there are no wires or metal to cause mouth abrasions.
• Aligners are Removable- for eating, drinking, dental care or other activities.
• Better oral hygiene during treatment - brush and floss normally to maintain healthy gums and teeth.

Will it work for me?

• If you have all your adult teeth (fully-erupted molars), most patients can be treated with Invisalign® even if they have crowns or bridges.
• Many common issues like crooked or crowded teeth, spaces between teeth and certain overbite and crossbite types can successfully be corrected.

Is this treatment only for adults?

• No, you just need to have all your adult / permanent teeth (fully erupted molars).
• Be committed to wearing your aligners at all times except for eating, drinking and cleaning.

How do I get started?

• After your initial evaluation, we discuss your goals for a new smile.
• We plan your full treatment together, and take your impressions and photographs.
• With advanced computer technology we can then show you a model of how you could look, before you start your treatment.

How long does the treatment take?

• Depending on difficulty, most treatments will take 12 - 18 months.

How long do I have to wear the aligners?

• The aligners should be worn for 22 to 23 hours a day for the best results.
• Every 2 weeks you change to a new aligner and we recommend a check up once every 6-8 weeks.

Are the aligners really Invisible?

• The aligners are made from clear plastic, so they are nearly invisible.
• Even when very close, most people will not notice you are straightening your teeth - unless you tell them!

Can I eat and drink with my aligners?

• No. The aligners are removable so you can still enjoy your favourite food and drinks.
• You need to avoid tooth decay and /or gum disease by not forcing the food particles and sugars against your teeth via the aligners. So keeping them clean is important.

Do the aligners hurt?

• It is normal that you will only feel temporary discomfort when you wear the aligners for the first few days.
• The smooth aligners are not harmful to the inside of your mouth, but you do feel pressure and this is a good sign that the aligners are working.

Are there any side effects?

• As with conventional treatments, you may feel a slight pressure at first.
• Aligners may temporarily affect the speech of some people, and you may have a slight lisp for a day or two.

How old is this technology?

• Align Technology, Inc., the company that manufactures Invisalign®, was founded in 1997.
• Since then over 480,000 patients have been in treatment with Invisalign®.
