How Does Invisalign Work?
To guide your teeth into their proper positions, you’ll be given a series of clear aligners. Each set may feel like it doesn’t quite fit initially, and that’s because they will gently move your teeth a bit closer to where they should be over the next few days. After you’re done with the trays, you will move on to the next set, and the process will start all over again. Remember, your aligners only work while you’re wearing them, so you’ll need to commit to the 20-22 hour-a-day wear time. As you work through your series of Invisalign trays, you’ll see your smile begin to straighten right before your eyes.
Benefits of Invisalign
The fully transparent aligners are one of the biggest draws of Invisalign, but that’s by no means the only benefit of this orthodontic treatment. In addition to being discreet, the trays are custom-made for each patient, making them extremely comfortable. They are also completely removable, which means you can brush and floss with ease and eat whatever you’d like throughout your treatment. You also can enjoy a more flexible schedule since you only have to come in for check-in visits every six weeks or so. Lastly, Invisalign typically delivers results in just 12-18 months, which is substantially shorter than the average treatment timeline with traditional braces.
Invisalign FAQs
How do I know if Invisalign is for me?
Invisalign addresses issues like crowded teeth, gaps, and even overbites and underbites. Though, it's not a magic solution for everyone. To find out if Invisalign is a good choice for your smile concerns, book a consultation to meet with Dr. Tyagi for expert advice.
How often should I need to wear my aligner?
To get the best results from your aligners, they have to be worn for 20-22 hours a day. That means wearing them all day and night except for when you eat, drink, brush, or floss.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Some of our patients have a slight lisp when they start wearing their aligners. But don't worry! This is a temporary lisp that usually fades away within a few days or a week.
How can I keep my aligners at their best?
To keep your aligners safe and clean, we recommend the following:
- Brush your aligners every day with a soft toothbrush and regular toothpaste.
- Rinse them well with lukewarm water.
- Give them a daily soak in a special Invisalign cleaning solution to help remove plaque or buildup that brushing might miss.
- When you're not wearing them, store them in their case to keep them safe.
