How The Invisalign System Works<\/h3>

Each aligner is worn for approximately 20\u201322 hours a day and replaced every two weeks with a new set, as prescribed in your treatment plan. Once placed, the aligner gently guides your teeth into their ideal positions. They\u2019re only removed for eating, drinking, brushing, or flossing. During treatment, patients visit their dentist periodically to monitor progress. Most treatments range from 5 to 15 months, and while mild pressure or discomfort may occur when a new aligner is introduced, this is completely normal and temporary.<\/p>

Cleaning your aligners<\/h3>

Aligners must be rinsed thoroughly every night and brushed gently with a toothbrush to keep them fresh and clean. The Invisalign cleaning system may also be used to keep aligners clear.\n\n<\/p>

\n \n What is Invisalign?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Invisalign is a treatment which involves wearing a series of clear aligners that gradually align your teeth. These are removable, and do not include brackets, wires, or any of the restrictions associated with metal braces.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n What are Invisalign aligners made of?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Invisalign aligners are made of thin, clear, flexible plastic which fit tightly over your teeth making them invisible. They are made from a patented thermoplastic material called\u00a0SmartTrack\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0.Invisalign clear aligners are FDA-approved and contain no BPA, BPS, latex, or gluten.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n What are the advantages of Invisalign treatment?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible \u2014 people may not even notice you\u2019re wearing them. These can be removed to eat and drink or for any special occasions. Invisalign does not include any metal brackets or wires that come with regular braces.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n Am I guaranteed straight teeth with Invisalign?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Every Invisalign treatment will start with a consultation whereby your dentist will help you determine what Invisalign treatment can do for your smile. You are encouraged to share your treatment goals during your consultation.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n Is Invisalign treatment right for me?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Yes! Invisalign is a great solution for both adults and teens looking for a virtually invisible method to improve their teeth and their smile. Our innovative, technology makes it possible to fix nearly all common teeth-straightening issues, from simple to complex \u2014without interrupting your life.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n What does the treatment process entail?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Your Invisalign-trained doctor will begin by providing you with a customized digital treatment plan that shows the movements of your teeth and a step-by-step transformation of your smile.<\/p>

Once you approve your plan, your customized aligners will be designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your treatment plan. Each set of aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day, and changed to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, as directed by your doctor. Each set of aligners will gradually shift your teeth into place. Your dentist will constantly monitor your progress and ensure your aligners always fit correctly.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n How long will treatment take?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

The length of treatment depends on many factors. These include how complex your case is and how often you wear your aligners. The exact length of the treatment will depend on your specific needs. However, Invisalign treatment usually takes up to 12 to 18 months, though you can start seeing results in a matter of weeks.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n How often will I change aligners?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

The change from a set of aligners to a new one is based on your individual treatment plan. Many doctors recommend changing Invisalign clear aligners weekly or every other week.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n How many hours per day should I wear my aligners?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

For optimum results, Invisalign clear aligners must be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day. And should only be taken out to eat, drink, brush and floss.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n How often will I have appointments?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Your doctor will schedule appointments, usually once every four to six weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n What are \u201cattachments\u201d and why would I need them for my Invisalign treatment?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Your Invisalign treatment may require\u00a0SmartForce\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0attachments<\/a>, small tooth-colored shapes that are attached to your teeth.<\/p>

These attachments serve as handles, to give the aligners something to gently push on to move your teeth with the right amount of force. Invisalign clear aligners fit smoothly and tightly around them, so they\u2019re barely noticeable.<\/p>

Not everyone who uses Invisalign clear aligners will need SmartForce attachments. If needed, your doctor will attach them to your teeth at the start of or during your treatment and remove them when they are no longer needed.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n Can I get Invisalign treatment on just my top or bottom teeth instead of both?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Yes. Invisalign treatment options are available for just top or bottom teeth, but consult your doctor for your individual needs.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n How much does Invisalign treatment cost?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

In most cases, the cost of Invisalign treatment is similar to the cost of braces. Your doctor will determine the cost of your treatment based on how complex your case is and how many aligners you need.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n Is Invisalign treatment more expensive than braces?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Invisalign treatment typically costs about the same as braces.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n What payment options are available for Invisalign treatment?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Many doctors offer flexible and affordable monthly payment plans, which allow you to make small payments through the course of your Invisalign treatment rather than all at once.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n How many people have used Invisalign clear aligners?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Over 8 million people, including more than 1.4 million teens, have used Invisalign clear aligners to transform their smiles.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n How is Invisalign treatment different than other teeth straightening options?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Invisalign clear aligners are made from patented SmartTrack material which moves teeth comfortably and predictably.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>

\n
\n \n Do Invisalign clear aligners contain Bisphenol A (BPA)?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

All Invisalign aligner and retainer materials are made of medical-grade, high molecular weight, thermoplastic polymers. These materials were selected for use in aligners and retainers based on their properties and safety classification, and have a long history of FDA approvals for long term use inside the human body. Tests conducted to determine the biocompatibility of these materials show they are biocompatible and pass all applicable regulatory requirements and thresholds for human wear in the mouth.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u00a0<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n <\/div>
\n
\n \n Will I need to wear a retainer after treatment to prevent my teeth from moving again?<\/span>
\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n
<\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n

Most doctors recommend that anyone who has completed orthodontic treatment, whether with braces or Invisalign treatment, use a retainer to prevent teeth from gradually shifting back toward their initial position. Every case is different, so ask your doctor if you need retainers.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/main>
