Weiler Orthodontics and Invisalign is a top 1% provider nationwide for Invisalign! Here are some of the FAQs we get along with helpful answers and tips!
Q. How often must I wear my aligners?
A. You must wear your aligners for up to 22 hours daily. You may remove them for brushing, but we recommend keeping them in while eating!
Q. Are there any restrictions to what I can eat while in treatment?
A. No. Unlike braces, you may eat whatever you would like.
Q. Will wearing the aligners affect my speech?
A. Like any orthodontic treatment, there is a short adjustment period. The more you speak with the aligners on, the quicker you will adjust.
Q. Is there any discomfort with Invisalign® treatment?
A. There will be some pressure and minor discomfort for a day or two after each initial insertion.
Q. What happens after my treatment is complete? Do I need retainers?
A. All orthodontic patients are instructed to wear their retainers at night indefinitely. Sleeping with your retainers in at night will ensure a healthy bite and maintain the new position of your teeth.
Q. How long does Invisalign treatment take?
A. Treatment time varies depending on the severity of the misaligned teeth. Treatment time can be shorter than traditional braces, between six and 18 months.
Q. Does Invisalign work for kids?
A. Yes, if their teeth, including second molars, have grown in completely.
