What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a clear aligner system that gradually moves teeth into alignment using a series of custom-made, removable trays. Each aligner is worn for about 1–2 weeks before progressing to the next in the series, with regular reviews by your dentist throughout the process.

The Invisalign Process

We begin with an assessment of your teeth, bite, and smile goals. Digital scans are taken to evaluate your alignment and suitability for Invisalign or alternative aligner systems.

Your scans are used to create a 3D simulation of how your teeth may move over time. We’ll review your plan together and discuss timelines and expectations.

You’ll receive a series of custom aligners to wear for 20–22 hours per day, removing them only for eating and brushing. Each aligner gently shifts your teeth toward the desired position.

You’ll attend progress reviews at regular intervals. Additional aligners may be issued if small adjustments are needed.

After treatment, retainers are required to maintain the new position of your teeth and prevent shifting.

Suitability is determined during your consultation. Some complex cases may still require referral to an orthodontist or the use of braces.

Is Invisalign Suitable for Everyone?

Invisalign may not be suitable for very complex orthodontic cases or patients who are unlikely to wear aligners consistently. We will assess your case carefully and may recommend referral to our on-site orthodontist or other alternatives if better suited to your needs.

How Long Does Treatment Take?

Treatment time varies depending on the severity of the case. Some mild crowding can be addressed in as little as 6–9 months, while more involved treatment plans may take 12–24 months. Your dentist will provide an estimate during your planning consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your dentist will assess your teeth, bite, and overall oral health during a consultation to determine if clear aligners are a suitable option. Invisalign is often recommended for mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or relapse after previous orthodontic treatment. Complex cases may require referral to an orthodontist.

Aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day to be effective. They should only be removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, and brushing or flossing your teeth. Wearing them less than the recommended time may affect your treatment progress.

Some patients experience mild pressure or discomfort, particularly when switching to a new set of aligners. This is typically short-lived and indicates the aligners are working to move your teeth. If discomfort persists, contact your dentist for advice.

Aligners should be removed before eating or drinking anything other than cool water. Eating with aligners in can damage them and increase the risk of tooth decay. After meals, it’s important to brush before placing your aligners back in to maintain oral hygiene.

Some patients notice a slight lisp when they first begin wearing aligners. This usually resolves as your tongue adapts. If any speech difficulties persist, let your dentist know so adjustments can be considered.

Yes. Retainers are an essential part of maintaining your new smile. Without them, teeth can gradually shift back over time. Your dentist will recommend a custom retainer and guide you on how long it should be worn to preserve your results.
