Invisalign FAQ

Invisalign is a popular and effective treatment for teeth alignment. It is a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually shift teeth to their correct positions. Invisalign has been shown to be very effective at improving smile aesthetics and overall dental health.

There are many reasons to choose Invisalign over other orthodontic treatments. First, it is one of the most affordable options out there. Second, it is quick and easy to use – you can start wearing your aligners right away! Third, it has a high success rate – almost everyone who undergoes Invisalign enjoys improvements in their smile.

In contrast to other brands, Invisalign clear retainers are made up of SmartTrack thermoplastic. This material is patented and produced exclusively for Invisalign treatment.

A unique, digital treatment plan will be created by your Invisalign orthodontist. Based on your plan, the right amount of force is applied at the right time. You will be monitored by your orthodontist every step of the way to ensure your aligners are fitting correctly.

Unlike traditional orthodontic treatments, which use metal wires and brackets to move teeth, Invisalign is virtually invisible. It is a great choice for people who want to maintain a low-maintenance appearance. Plus, this also gives them the relief they need from crooked teeth.

Invisalign plans include customized clear alignment trays that gently and gradually move your teeth into their proper positions. Hence, each Invisalign plan is customized to meet the unique needs of each patient, and each aligner tray is made to move teeth precisely and gently.

Invisalign Express

Invisalign Express is a six-month treatment program that uses only 10 sets of aligners to fix mild crowding or other minor issues.

Invisalign i7

For mild alignment issues, Invisalign i7 uses only seven aligner trays to achieve the results you’re looking for.

Invisalign Lite

Invisalign Lite provides a balance between effective alignment treatment and rapid results for more robust changes that Invisalign Express can’t address. Typically, patients wear 14 aligners for six months or longer as part of their treatment plan.

Invisalign Full

With Invisalign Full, you can still correct moderate to severe tooth issues without using regular braces. Invisalign Full allows you to wear custom-fitted alignment trays nearly full-time for up to 18 months.

Let your Invisalign orthodontist know immediately if you lose or break an aligner. Stay on track with your treatment plan with the help of your orthodontist. Wearing your previous aligners, wearing your next aligners, or ordering replacement aligners may be required.

As a prescription item, aligners and retainers must be ordered through your Invisalign Doctor. If you need a replacement, contact your Invisalign Doctor directly.

Your treatment could be completed in as little as six months, depending on your case’s difficulty. And it could extend up to 24 months if you avail of the full Invisalign treatment.

After orthodontic treatment with braces or Invisalign, most doctors recommend wearing a retainer. This is done to prevent teeth from gradually shifting back toward their original positions. Ask your doctor if you need retainers based on your case.

There are some risks associated with Invisalign, however, the benefits of the treatment far outweigh these minor concerns. As with any surgical procedure, there is always a risk of infection, cosmetic issues, and other complications. However, many patients have minimal to no problems following their treatment plan and ultimately see great results.

The cost of Invisalign can vary depending on the number of aligners you need or the type of treatment you’ll be advised to avail. Your locations also have an impact on the pricing but on average, it ranges from $3,000 – $9,000 per set. Once your treatment is complete, you will need to come back for regular checkups to sure your teeth are well aligned.

Is anyone able to tell me that I’m wearing aligners? Aligners made with Invisalign are virtually invisible. Wearing them may go unnoticed by others. Your lifestyle can be seamlessly integrated with Invisalign treatment.
