INVISALIGN FAQ

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-made to fit over your teeth. These aligners apply gentle pressure to shift your teeth into the desired position over time. You will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before moving onto the next set.

Invisalign is suitable for most people with mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including gaps, overcrowding, and minor bite problems. However, severe cases may require traditional braces or other orthodontic treatments.

Invisalign is a easy and comfortable way to get straighter teeth. Most adults finish Invisalign treatment and have straight smiles in as little as 12-18 months. In some cases, noticeable results begin appearing a few weeks after starting the Invisalign process. Your Creekside Dentist will map out a plan for how long treatment should last with your unique set of teeth.

Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours a day, only removing them to eat, brush, and floss. This means you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about food getting stuck in your braces, and maintain good oral hygiene throughout your treatment.

You’ll typically visit your Creekside Dentist every six to eight weeks during your Invisalign treatment to monitor your progress and ensure that your treatment is on track. However, this may vary depending on your individual treatment plan. Ask your Creekside Dentist during your appointment what works best for your situation.

No, there are no dietary restrictions with Invisalign since the aligners are removable. However, it’s important to brush your teeth after each meal or snack before putting your aligners back in to avoid staining or discoloration.

Invisalign aligners may cause a slight lisp or speech impediment at first, but this usually subsides after a few days as you get used to wearing them.
