FAQ'S

Invisalign is an alternative to traditional braces that uses computer imaging to create a series of invisible aligners made of plastic that move your teeth. Each aligner is designed to be worn for about 20-22 hours a day. The patients will need to replace their aligners about once every two weeks. The entire treatment may take up to two years, depending on the severity of your condition. This process is not painful or uncomfortable and will give you a more beautiful smile than ever.

Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to move teeth. Each tray snaps onto your teeth and applies light pressure to the targeted areas. As you replace your aligners, your teeth will gradually shift into their optimal position. Most adult patients see results after about 12 months of wearing the aligners. You can take them out for eating and brushing your teeth, but you must be diligent about wearing them. The average treatment time for Invisalign is about a year, but it can be completed in as little as six months for mild cases.
