How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Invisalign treatment time varies depending on the complexity of your case. Many patients complete treatment in about 12 to 18 months, while simpler cases may take less time. You’ll wear each set of aligners for a specified period as your teeth gradually shift. Your dentist will provide a personalized timeline based on your treatment plan.

How often do I need to wear the Invisalign aligners?
Invisalign aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day for the best results. They should only be removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear helps ensure your teeth move as planned and keeps treatment on schedule.

Is Invisalign painful?
Invisalign is generally not painful, but some patients experience mild pressure or soreness when starting a new set of aligners. This sensation is a normal sign that the aligners are working to move your teeth. Any discomfort is usually temporary and fades within a few days as your mouth adjusts.

How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?
To clean your Invisalign aligners, rinse them with lukewarm water each time you remove them and gently brush them with a soft toothbrush and clear, mild soap. Avoid hot water, toothpaste, or harsh cleaners, as these can damage the aligners. Keeping them clean helps prevent buildup, odors, and discoloration.
