How does the Invisalign® process work?
The Invisalign® process starts with an initial consultation where your teeth are evaluated and your orthodontic goals are discussed. If you are eligible for treatment, a digital scan of your teeth is conducted to produce an accurate 3D model. Based on this model, custom-made aligners are fabricated to fit over your teeth. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks before progressing to the next one in the sequence, gradually moving your teeth to their desired positions. It’s essential to wear the aligners for 20 to 22 hours daily, only removing them for eating, drinking non-water beverages, and maintaining oral hygiene.

Invisalign® vs. braces - what's the difference?
Invisalign® and traditional braces both aim to straighten teeth, but they do so in different ways. Invisalign® uses clear plastic aligners that are virtually invisible, offering aesthetic and comfort advantages over metal braces. They are removable, which makes eating, brushing, and flossing easier. Traditional braces, on the other hand, consist of metal brackets glued to the teeth and connected by wires, which can handle more complex alignment issues. Braces are typically less expensive than Invisalign® and are fixed, meaning they continuously work on aligning the teeth.

What does post-treatment care involve?
After completing treatment with Invisalign®, it is crucial to maintain the results. This typically involves wearing a retainer to prevent your teeth from gradually shifting back to their original position. Initially, you may need always to wear the retainer, and later, only during the night. Your dentist will provide specific instructions based on your individual needs. Regular follow-up visits and good oral hygiene practices are also essential to keep your newly aligned smile looking its best.
