FAQ
How do Invisalign clear aligners work?
Invisalign aligners use a series of custom-made, removable trays that fit snugly over your teeth. Each set of aligners gently shifts your teeth according to your treatment plan. You will wear each set ideally 20-22 hours per day and switch them out weekly.
How long do I need to wear Invisalign aligners each day?
For the best results, Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day. You will need to remove them while eating and brushing your teeth, but they should be worn consistently to ensure your teeth move as planned. Not wearing the aligners frequently enough can delay your treatment.
Are Invisalign aligners comfortable to wear?
Yes, Invisalign aligners are designed to be smooth and comfortable, without the metal brackets or wires found in traditional braces. While you may experience mild pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, this is a sign that your teeth are shifting properly. Any discomfort is usually temporary, gradually moving your teeth into the desired position.
How do I care for my Invisalign aligners?
To keep your aligners clean, rinse them with lukewarm water after removing them and brush them gently with a soft toothbrush. Avoid using toothpaste, as it can scratch the aligners. Invisalign cleaning crystals and other Invisalign products are also available to help maintain clear and hygienic trays.
Can I eat or drink with Invisalign aligners in?
You should remove your Invisalign aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. You do not want anything acidic or sugary sitting between your teeth and your aligners. You do not have to brush your teeth every time you take your aligners out to eat or drink; however, you should at least swish water around before placing your aligners back in your mouth.
