What to Expect with Invisalign
Invisalign aligner trays are worn between 20-22 hours a day, depending on your treatment plan and the level of correction needed. Invisalign trays are easily removable for drinking and eating. The blue indicator on each tray informs patients when they have worn the trays for the required amount of time each day. This indicator is extremely helpful for all who use Invisalign—especially for teens and parents monitoring their child’s treatment.
We offer whitening as a free courtesy to all activeInvisalign patients. Following your Invisalign treatment, retainers are ideal to be used as trays for continual whitening over time.
Is Invisalign Right for You?
Invisalign is a popular choice for both teens and adults.This treatment helps if you have overcrowding, chewing, or overbite issues. We recommend Invisalign for older teens and adults, rather than children, due to the increased responsibility compared to traditional braces. Because Invisalign aligners are removable, children may forget to replace them after eating.
On average, Invisalign treatment takes between 6-18 months, comparable to the treatment time for traditional braces. During our Invisalign consultation process, we will discuss your age, level of correction, and smile goals to help you choose which orthodontic treatment is best for you.
