• Invisalign treatment uses a series of virtually invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners that allow you to smile more during treatment as well as after. Invisalign clear aligners are made with 3D computer imaging technology and have been proven effective. More than 70% of orthodontists in the US and Canada are certified to administer Invisalign treatment.

  • Many orthodontists will advise that Invisalign treatment can take between 6 – 12 months or more, depending on your case. There's no one-size-fits-all for determining how long your treatment will last. That's because every patient will have their own individual tooth alignment issues.

  • Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that straightens teeth without the use of metal braces. Invisalign is a series of custom-made clear braces that cover your teeth and gently pull them into the proper position over time.

  • At the end of the day, Invisalign is usually less painful than more traditional methods of teeth straightening. Many people only report mild discomfort or a feeling of pressure when they wear their aligners.

  • Invisalign can be used to help fix mild overbite cases. The time needed to correct an overbite with Invisalign varies per person. If your overbite is severe, you may need traditional wire braces.

  • Invisalign retainers can last up to 6 months after treatment.

  • Yes, Invisalign can fix most gaps. However, larger gaps may take longer to correct.

  • When it is time to drink coffee, remove your aligners and store them. Remember to put them back in when you are done. Coffee can stain your aligners.

  • Do not chew gum with your Invisalign in. Please remove your aligners and store them. Remember to put them back in when you are done.

  • It is not recommended to smoke while undergoing Invisalign treatment.

  • The average amount of time it takes for clear aligners like Invisalign to work is around 12 months.

  • If you eat while wearing Invisalign, you risk damaging the aligner.

  • Not only are the aligners virtually invisible, they are removable, so you can eat and drink what you want while in treatment. Plus, brushing and flossing are no problem. They are also more comfortable than traditional braces, with no metal or wires, which also usually means you spend less time in your doctor's office getting adjustments. Invisalign treatment also allows you to view your own virtual treatment plan when you start so you can see how your straight teeth will look when your treatment is complete.

  • You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move — little by little, week by week — until they have straightened to their final positions. You'll visit us about once every six weeks to ensure that your treatment is progressing as planned. Total treatment time averages nine to 15 months and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
