Some of the questions we are frequently asked include:
1. How long does Invisalign take?
Each patient’s case is unique, but the average Invisalign case lasts twelve to eighteen months. Each set of aligners you wear will progressively moves your teeth closer towards your goal smile. In most cases, the treatment time is less than what it would take for braces to get the same results.
2. How is Invisalign better for me?
Every treatment offers specific benefits. When it comes to Invisalign, the benefits are clear: aligners are nearly invisible when you wear them, so you can enjoy complete privacy during treatment. Additionally, the aligners can be taken out, which means you can easily brush and floss your teeth while continuing to eat your normal diet.
3. What is the process like?
You can begin with a careful evaluation. We use state-of-the-art 3D imaging to plan and sequence every stage of your treatment until your teeth are in their final positions, and then a series of thermoplastic aligners are customized to fit. You will wear each aligner for about two weeks, and switch to the next set of aligners in the series until your treatment is finished.
