FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS INVISLIGN?
Invisalign is a clear, aesthetic alternative to traditional metal braces, using virtually invisible aligners to straighten teeth and improve bite function. It offers a comfortable, hygienic treatment option suitable for everyone.
HOW DOES INVISALIGN WORK?
Invisalign aligners apply gentle, gradual pressure to your teeth, moving them into their desired positions. Each set of aligners is worn for about 2 weeks before progressing to the next in the series.
If you wear your Invisalign aligners consistently for 20–22 hours a day, you may progress through your treatment faster. In some cases, this means switching to a new set of aligners every week instead of every two weeks, helping you achieve your dream smile sooner!
HOW LONG WILL I NEED TO WEAR INVISALIGN?
The length of treatment depends on your specific case, but it typically takes between 6 months to 2 years to achieve the desired results.
ARE INVISALIGN ALIGNERS COMFORTABLE?
Yes, Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, flexible plastic, which is more comfortable than traditional metal braces. However, you may experience mild discomfort or pressure when switching to a new set of aligners.
CAN I EAT AND DRINK WITH INVISALIGN?
No, it’s recommended to remove your aligners while eating and drinking (except for water) to avoid damaging them and to maintain optimal hygiene.
WILL INVISALIGN AFFECT MY SPEECH?
Most people experience a slight temporary lisp when they first start wearing aligners. This usually goes away within a few days as you get used to them.
HOW OFTEN DO I VISIT THE DENTIST DURING TREATMENT?
You’ll typically visit your dentist every 4-6 weeks to monitor your progress and receive your next set of aligners.
WILL MY TEETH SHIFT AFTER INVISLIGN TREATMENT?
After completing your Invisalign treatment, your dentist may recommend wearing a retainer to maintain your results and prevent teeth from shifting back.
INVISALING CAN ADDRESS CONCERNS SUCH AS
Invisalign allows you to maintain your normal lifestyle with comfort and convenience. Patients appreciate its flexibility, as the removable aligners make eating and oral hygiene easier while enabling confidence during professional and social engagements.
- Crooked or crowded teeth
- Overlapping or twisted teeth
- Gaps between the teeth
- Bite issues - deep bite, overbite, underbite or crossbite
INVISALIGN PROCESS
After taking patient records, including intra-oral photos and X-rays, we utilize advanced 3D iTero scanning to create a digital simulation of your teeth. This technology allows us to visualize your treatment progress and expected outcomes. Once your dentist approves the treatment plan, you’ll receive your first series of aligners, typically worn for 14 days each. Regular orthodontic review appointments will be scheduled to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
EXPANSION APPLIANCES
An expansion appliance is used when the upper jaw/palate is narrow and deficient, which can result in the following:
- Cross-bite
- Under-bite
- Crowding
- Constriction of upper airways
- Snoring or mouth breathing
- Compressed or hidden smile
Used at the appropriate time this appliance will gently develop the upper jaw, improve the bite relationship, increase the nasal airway volume, while simultaneously reducing the risk of orthodontic extractions (removal of teeth) by creating space and a broader smile.
Orthodontically addressing the growth and development of a child’s jaw/palate can also improve breathing by increasing the airway space in the nose and reducing the detrimental impacts of obstructive sleep apnoea.
An improvement in breathing, snoring and quality of sleep can be gained during the early stages of treatment.
