How do they work?
We will take a mold of your teeth in the office and then create a digital scan of your mouth. That scan will then be fed into a computer, which changes the way your mouth looks to your desired result. Then stages are shown that will get your teeth from where they are now to where you want them to be.
We create personalized aligners for each stage, and then have you wear each set of aligners for a 22 day period. Over time, the aligners help to move your teeth into position, and after a period of 13 months, your teeth will have shifted to where you want them to be.
Dailly life with Aligners
If you are wearing aligners for the period, then you need to have them in for 22 hours of the day. They should only be taken out while eating, brushing, and flossing, as these actions will damage the aligners. Otherwise, they should stay in your mouth. Due to the convenience of these types of braces, more and more people are moving toward Invisalign.
Upon starting to use the aligners or switching to a new set after 22 days, your mouth might feel a bit uncomfortable as your teeth get used to being forced into a new shape. Still, you should not feel pain when wearing aligners, and if you do contact us immediately. We will check to make sure nothing is wrong and there is not any undue pressure on any of your teeth.
FAQs
How long will my treatment last?
The duration of your Invisalign treatment depends on the complexity of your case. On average, treatment lasts between 12 to 18 months, but some cases may take as little as six months. Our dental team will provide a personalized treatment plan to estimate the exact timeframe.
Can I eat with Invisalign in?
No, you should always remove your Invisalign aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. Eating with the aligners in place can damage them and increase the risk of staining. After eating, it’s important to brush your teeth before putting the aligners back in.
Is Invisalign painful?
Invisalign is generally not painful, but you may experience mild discomfort or pressure, especially when switching to a new set of aligners. This sensation is a sign that the aligners are working to move your teeth into their new positions. Any discomfort typically subsides within a few days.
