Frequently Asked Questions
Using the latest advances in 3-D technology, Invisalign translates your dentist’s instructions into a series of nearly undetectable aligners. You wear each set of aligners for about two weeks which move your teeth gradually week by week, millimetre by millimetre until you’ve achieved the desired result.
How effective is Invisalign treatment?
Many thousands of patients have been successfully treated with Invisalign. It works for a wide range of people whose teeth are too crowded or have spaces between them, as well as for those whose teeth may shifted after having worn braces previously.
How often will I have to wear my aligners?
Invisalign only works while you’re wearing the aligners. It is recommended that you wear them full-time, day and night, except when you are eating or brushing and flossing your teeth – or as directed by ourselves.
How long does Invisalign take?
The duration of treatment depends on the severity of your case, as that determines the number of aligners you need to correct your teeth. The average length of treatment is 12 months, but only your particular circumstances can determine the length of your treatment.
How much does Invisalign cost?
As with traditional braces, the cost will be based on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment.
How do I get started?
