Invisalign uses a series of custom-made clear aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks, moving your teeth incrementally based on a treatment plan created using advanced 3-D imaging technology.

The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most patients achieve their desired results within 12 to 18 months. Your dentist will provide a more accurate timeline based on your specific needs.

Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic, which generally makes them more comfortable than traditional metal braces. However, you might experience some mild discomfort or pressure when switching to a new aligner, which is a normal part of the adjustment process.

Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can take them out to eat and drink. It's important to remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water, and to brush your teeth before reinserting them to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent staining.
