Invisalign® Frequently Asked Questions

• Time for a snack? No problem. Take out your aligners to eat or drink whenever you want.
• You can remove your Invisalign® aligners so you can brush and floss regularly, and keep your teeth and gums healthy.
• There’s no need to change a thing. Continue your day-to-day activities while still straightening your teeth.
• Be yourself with Invisalign® aligners. Since they are clear, you don’t have to hide your smile while going through treatment.
• With Invisalign® treatment, it’s easy to make your smile picture-perfect for that special occasion.
• Invisalign® treatment appointments work with your schedule. Most visits are in and out, with a quick progress check once every six weeks.
• Tooth-colored attachments are placed on some teeth to help achieve difficult movements. 

The Invisalign® system is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and achieve the smile you’ve always wanted. Invisalign® treatment uses advanced 3D computer imaging technology to depict your complete treatment plan, from the initial position of your teeth to the final desired position.

Then a series of clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth — and your teeth only — to move them little by little. Each aligner is worn for about a week before being replaced by the next in the series until the final position of your teeth is achieved.

Your Invisalign® treatment time will be determined by your doctor based on your specific needs.

Invisalign® aligners are clear, which makes Invisalign® treatment a seamless fit with your lifestyle and day-to-day interactions with others. Invisalign® aligners are also removable. Unlike braces, you have the flexibility to eat and drink what you want during treatment simply by removing the aligners when you eat. You can also remove the aligners to brush and floss as you normally would for fresh breath and good oral hygiene.
