What is Invisalign?
Invisalign® can help to treat a variety of orthodontic concerns and studies have shown it can be better for your dental hygiene during treatment as well.
Your treatment is nearly invisible, almost no-one will be able to tell you are wearing Invisalign®. You can smile more during as well as after your treatment and because you can remove Invisalign® you can eat and drink what you like.
So far over 480,000 patients worldwide have more reasons to smile –thanks to Invisalign®.
Invisalign Before and After
Why choose Invisalign?
More than 10,000 doctors are prescribing Invisalign® as an innovative treatment for straightening teeth.
In addition to the aesthetic and comfort advantages, Invisalign® offers a number of significant clinical benefits including:
- Predictable treatment, as Invisalign® is planned in advance your dentist can more accurately predict when your treatment will be finished
- Improved periodontal health through better dental hygiene during treatment
- No metal allergies due to brackets and wires
- Greater treatment visibility and easier planning with our treatment software
- Custom manufacture means a tailored match to your teeth, for reduced irritation and fewer scratches
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Invisalign treatment usually takes between 6 to 18 months. The exact duration depends on various factors, such as the complexity of your case and your genetics, which influence how quickly your teeth move in response to the aligners.
During your consultation our practitioner will be able to provide you with a clearer timeframe as to how long the whole Invisalign treatment process might take for your individual case.
When should Invisalign aligners be worn?
Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours each day. You should only remove them for eating, drinking, brushing your teeth, and cleaning the aligners to ensure effective treatment.
Failing to wear them for the recommended time can result in delayed progress, prolonged treatment duration, and less effective results than desired.
How many Invisalign aligners will you need?
The number of Invisalign aligners you’ll need varies based on the complexity of your dental issues. For very mild cases, you might need as few as 6 sets of trays, while more complex issues could require over 26 sets. During your consultation, the exact number of aligners will be determined based on your current teeth condition and desired goals.
Are Invisalign results permanent?
Invisalign is designed to provide permanent results, but there’s a small catch: your teeth can potentially shift back after treatment. To maintain your results, it’s crucial to wear the aligners for at least 20 hours per day, replace them immediately if they break, attend follow-up appointments to monitor progress, and wear a retainer post-treatment for the recommended duration if required. Your results are largely dependent on maintaining these good habits.
Are you too old for Invisalign treatment?
No, you’re not too old for Invisalign treatment. As long as your teeth are healthy enough to handle the forces involved, there’s no upper age limit. Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, or even 60s, Invisalign could be a suitable option for straightening your teeth.
