What is Invisalign and does it work?
Your Invisalign treatment will use a series of clear plastic aligners which you will change every two weeks. There are small differences between the tooth positions for each aligner but these small changes in position generate forces that move your teeth over the two week interval. Invisalign tell us that over 1 million people have been treated using the Invisalign system.
Can the Invisalign appliances be seen?
As the name suggests the Invisalign appliances are almost invisible.
Are there foods I cannot eat?
The appliances are easily and quickly removed so you can eat whatever you like. It is important to brush your teeth before putting in your aligners. You can leave the aligners in place if drinking water.
What about cleaning the aligners?
You can use a soft toothbrush with water or a little toothpaste. Clean your aligners once per day but clean your teeth after every time you eat.
Does Invisalign treatment hurt?
Your teeth may be sore for a few days after changing aligners. This is normal and is due to the pressure generated by the aligners as they move your teeth.
