Invisalign is so subtle that most people can't tell you are wearing them. This is the biggest reason people opt for these clear aligners. They can continue with their life without the look of braces.
Invisalign is more comfortable than braces even though you may have discomfort immediately after you get them or trade for the next tray of aligners. Discomfort typically only lasts a few days.
Clear aligners ditch the idea of wires or elastic bands. You take out Invisalign aligners to eat and brush your teeth. This makes it easier to keep them and your teeth clean without hassle.
Those using Invisalign have fewer orthodontic visits. While those using traditional braces must come for a check-up every four to six weeks, those using Invisalign as their orthodontic treatment option can stretch out visits to every eight weeks.
Your orthodontist will instruct you when to trade out your aligners for the next set. This is typically every two weeks. You must be disciplined about this for them to be effective.
Invisalign clear aligners should be cleaned nightly with either a toothbrush and water or a special cleaner. This is something to add to your nighttime oral healthcare routine.
Orthodontic patients must wear the Invisalign aligners 22 hours a day to work effectively. Failing to wear them as instructed will make your treatment less effective and may take longer to achieve results.
Orthopedic treatment using Invisalign can be comparable to traditional braces but it depends on the individual case. In Canada, Invisalign aligners and treatments can cost between $2,000 and $8,000.
Insurance may cover Invisalign but it varies with policies. Maison Dental can help you navigate financing through insurance and co-payments to pay for orthodontic treatments.
No one can give an exact timeline of your treatment time using Invisalign. Every case is different. However, the time to get effective results with Invisalign is comparable to traditional braces with a minimum time of 6 months and the average time of around 18 months. It can take up to 2 years to get the smile you want.
One feature of Invisalign is the 3-D time-lapse imaging of your mouth so you can see how your treatment is expected to look over the course of your treatment. That can answer many of your questions.
