When receiving any new type of orthodontic treatment, we understand that patients will have questions. Here, we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you fully understand the Invisalign treatment!
Does Invisalign turn teeth yellow?
Invisalign should not change the color of your teeth if you take care to brush regularly and prevent staining.
Is Invisalign a permanent fix?
Invisalign straightens your teeth the same as braces and thus requires some maintenance to prevent them from shifting back. Your dentist can explain your options once you’re done with your Invisalign treatment.
What is Invisalign?
The Invisalign treatment involves wearing a series of clear aligners that will gradually straighten your teeth. There are no brackets or wires involved, and the aligners are removable, so you can eat and brush your teeth easily!
How quickly do teeth move with Invisalign?
It can take 6-12 months for your teeth to shift with Invisalign. However, you may notice results within as little as 12 months.
What are the advantages of Invisalign?
Invisalign comes with many advantages over traditional braces, including the fact they are virtually undetectable. They can also be easily removed for eating or brushing.
What are the side effects of Invisalign?
Invisalign can cause discomfort or headaches at first as you become adjusted to the new aligner. However, these side effects are temporary and subside within a few weeks or months.
