How does the Invisalign® process work?
To start the Invisalign® treatment, we will need to take photographs of your teeth and face, dental impressions of your teeth, and x-rays. These records will be sent to Invisalign® along with detailed instructions on how you want your teeth to look after the treatment. Invisalign® will scan the impressions to create a 3D model of your teeth and work closely with your dentist to ensure the mold is designed to proportions. Once the mold is finalized, the trays will be made and sent to your dentist’s office. You will have to wear each set of trays for two weeks at a time, and the entire treatment usually takes around two years or as determined by your dentist.

Who can use Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is an orthodontic treatment suitable for most teenagers and adults who require mild to moderate teeth corrections. This includes individuals with crooked and misaligned teeth, noticeable spacing issues, and minor bite problems. However, it is important to note that Invisalign® may not be effective for all orthodontic issues. More severe problems may require additional treatment.

Invisalign® vs. braces - what's the difference?
There are several key differences between Invisalign® and traditional braces that may influence your choice of orthodontic treatment. Both options aim to straighten teeth, but they do so in distinctly different ways.
- Visibility: Invisalign® aligners are clear and nearly invisible, whereas braces are noticeable due to their wires and brackets.
- Removability: Invisalign® aligners can be easily removed by the wearer for eating or cleaning, unlike braces, which can only be removed by a professional.
- Dietary Restrictions: Invisalign® users can eat whatever they like without adjustments, while those with braces must avoid certain foods that could damage them.
- Oral Hygiene: Invisalign® allows for everyday oral care practices, but braces require special cleaning tools and techniques.
- Comfort and Safety: Invisalign® aligners are smooth and comfortable, and unlike braces, which can cause cuts and other discomforts, they pose no risk of mouth injuries.
