Why Choose
Invisalign?

How does Invisalign compare to traditional braces?

Invisalign offers a more discreet and comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Unlike metal braces, Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners which are less noticeable and easier to clean. Invisalign aligners can also be removed before eating or brushing, which promotes better oral hygiene. While traditional braces are more effective for complex orthodontic cases like severe misalignment, Invisalign is ideal for mild to moderate cases. Both methods gradually straighten teeth, but Invisalign tends to cause less irritation since there are no brackets or wires involved.

How long does it take to start seeing results with Invisalign?

Many patients begin to notice changes in their teeth within 6 to 12 weeks of starting Invisalign treatment. However, the timeline varies depending on the complexity of each case and how consistently the aligners are worn. Invisalign aligners are designed to apply gentle pressure, shifting teeth over time. To see results sooner, it’s important to wear the aligners for 20-22 hours daily. Full treatment can take anywhere from 12 to 18 months, but initial progress is often visible much earlier.

What happens if you forget to wear Invisalign for a day?

Forgetting to wear Invisalign aligners for a day might slightly delay progress, but it won’t drastically affect your treatment. If you skip more than a day, however, your teeth may start shifting back to their original positions. To stay on track, it’s important to stick to wearing your aligners for approximately 20-22 hours each day. If you forget to wear them, simply put them back in as soon as possible and stay diligent moving forward. Consistency is key to ensuring successful results with Invisalign!
