Frequently Asked Questions
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that uses custom removable trays to gradually move teeth without metal brackets or wires.
How does Invisalign work?
A digital treatment plan maps tooth movement, and a series of aligners applies controlled pressure to shift teeth over time.
How long do I wear Invisalign each day?
Most patients should wear aligners 20 to 22 hours per day unless instructed otherwise.
Can I eat with Invisalign?
No. Remove aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water.
How often are aligners changed?
Many patients change aligners every one to two weeks, based on the doctor’s instructions.
Can Invisalign fix crowding?
Yes. Invisalign can treat many crowding cases, from mild to more complex situations.
Can Invisalign fix bite problems?
