Invisalign is a popular choice for those looking to straighten their teeth without the hassle of traditional metal braces. Here are some frequently asked questions about Invisalign at London Dental House.
How does the Invisalign process work?
The Invisalign treatment process begins with a consultation at our dental clinic in Londo, Ontario. Dr. Joseph will take digital impressions of your teeth and develop a personalized treatment plan. You will receive a series of aligners that should be worn for 20-22 hours daily, switching to the next set every 1-2 weeks as your teeth move.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies based on individual needs, but most patients achieve their desired results in 12 to 18 months. We can provide you with a more accurate timeline during your consultation.
Are Invisalign aligners comfortable to wear?
Yes! Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic, making them comfortable to wear. While you may experience some mild discomfort during the adjustment periods, it is generally minimal compared to traditional braces.
Can I eat and drink with Invisalign aligners?
No, it is recommended that you remove your aligners when eating or drinking (except for water). This helps prevent staining and damage to the aligners, ensuring your treatment stays on track.
How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?
Cleaning your aligners is simple! Rinse and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush and mild soap. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can scratch the aligners. You may also use the Invisalign cleaning crystals for optimal results.
Are there any restrictions while using Invisalign?
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign does not restrict food. However, wearing your aligners as directed and maintaining a good oral hygiene routine is important to prevent cavities and gum disease.
Can anyone use Invisalign?
Invisalign is suitable for many patients, including teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic issues. However, a consultation with Dr. Joseph is necessary to determine whether it’s the right option for your needs.
