Common Questions About Invisalign®
How long does the treatment take?
In depends on your personal condition. The number of aligners that you will have to wear (generally between 12 and 48) depends on the scope of the dental movements required.
How many hours per day must I wear the Invisalign® braces aligners?
Invisalign® only works when the aligners are worn. Consequently, you must wear them as long and as often as possible, day and night, except when you eat or brush your teeth. As a general rule, follow the instructions provided by your orthodontist or dentist.
Do I have to change my eating habits?
Unlike common treatments, you must remove your aligners to eat. Therefore, you can eat what you want. We recommend that you only drink water when you are wearing your aligners. Chewing gum is prohibited. Once again, follow the instructions provided by your orthodontist or dentist.
Do I have to frequently see my orthodontist or dentist?
Your orthodontist / dentist will schedule appointments on a regular basis, generally every 6 weeks. These appointments will allow him to monitor the progress of your treatment.
Will wearing Invisalign® braces aligners affect my diction?
Just like any orthodontics treatment, Invisalign® will cause some slight diction problems that will disappear within a day or two - the time it takes for your tongue to get used to the aligners.
Is the treatment painful?
Most people will have sensitive teeth for a few days following the treatment and wearing of a new aligner. This is normal and demonstrates the efficiency of the aligners and the fact that the teeth are moving as planned. This sensitivity will quickly disappear.
How much does the Invisalign® braces treatment cost?
Your orthodontist / dentist will determine the duration and cost of your treatment according to the severity of your condition. Furthermore, in order to help you through your functional and cosmetic approach, your orthodontist / dentist has developed a financing system.
