Common Questions

How Invisalign Works FAQs

How does Invisalign straighten teeth?

A planned series of custom clear aligners applies gentle, controlled pressure to move teeth gradually into improved positions.

How often do I need to wear Invisalign aligners?

Aligners are usually worn for most of the day and night. Consistent wear is essential for teeth to track according to the treatment plan.

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Treatment time varies with case complexity and cooperation. A digital evaluation provides an individualized estimate and planned aligner sequence.

How do I keep Invisalign aligners clean?

Rinse them when removed, clean them gently as directed, and brush before reinserting them. Avoid hot water, which can distort the plastic.
