Invisalign is particularly popular with adults who want to straighten their teeth discreetly without the appearance of traditional braces.
Many professional and social situations make Invisalign an attractive choice because the aligners are clear, comfortable and barely noticeable when worn.
Is Invisalign better than traditional braces?
Both treatments are highly effective. Invisalign offers a more discreet and removable alternative to fixed braces, making it a popular option for many adults and teenagers.
Can I eat with Invisalign aligners?
No. Aligners should be removed before eating or drinking anything other than water. This allows you to continue enjoying your normal diet throughout treatment.
How many hours per day should I wear Invisalign?
For the best results, Invisalign aligners should typically be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day and only removed for eating, drinking and oral hygiene.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Most patients experience mild pressure when changing to a new aligner, which is a sign that the treatment is working. Any discomfort is usually temporary and settles within a few days.
