Frequently Asked Questions
What questions should I ask my dentist about Invisalign?
Make sure you ask your orthodontist about your eligibility. Invisalign can fix most cases of orthodontic problems, but you should still make sure with your orthodontist. Also, you should ask about your periodontal health to ensure everything is fine before you start treatment. Getting Invisalign as an adult means taking a few additional things into consideration.
Is it worth getting Invisalign as an adult?

Absolutely yes. Adults who wear Invisalign can enjoy all the added benefits of clear removable aligner trays. You can take them off whenever you need to, which makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene, almost no one will see them, and results come in faster.
Does Invisalign work on adult teeth?
Yes. Your orthodontist will create a digital model of your teeth to customize your clear aligner trays. Following your initial consultation, you will receive custom-made trays that fit your adult teeth perfectly and realign them safely.
Does Invisalign fix teeth permanently?
All orthodontic treatment requires patients to wear retainers afterward to ensure teeth don’t move again into an unwanted position. Teeth move naturally as we age, so even if your Invisalign treatment realigns your teeth and jaws, you’ll need a retainer to avoid losing those results.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Invisalign can achieve results much faster than braces, and some patients report noticeable changes as soon as 6 months into their treatment. Completing your orthodontic treatment may take as long as 18 months, but it will all depend on each patient’s circumstances.
How is Invisalign treatment different than other teeth straightening options?
Unlike braces, Invisalign for adults doesn’t rely on highly noticeable appliances and metal fixed stainless steel parts. These BPA-free plastic trays are removable and almost invisible to the naked eye, making them ideal for your busy schedule.
Is Invisalign treatment painful?
No. You shouldn’t feel any pain when you wear Invisalign; however, you should expect some level of discomfort and understand that your teeth feeling loose will be a natural part of the process. Please consult with a specialist if you feel pain for too long.
Do you have to get the bumps on your teeth for Invisalign?
Please make sure to consult with your orthodontist to verify if you’ll require additional attachments to ensure your treatment’s efficiency.
