Invisalign® treatment starts with a consultation with an Invisalign®-trained dentist. Your dentist will evaluate your smile and then map out a precise, customised digital treatment plan that showcases the step-by-step transformation of your smile. Once you approve your plan, your unique aligners will be created.

You will wear each set of aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, changing to a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, as directed by your doctor. Each set of aligners will gently and gradually shift your teeth into place, according to your treatment plan, until you reach your beautiful new smile.

How long does Invisalign® treatment take?

Depending on the complexity of your case, you could complete your treatment in as little as 6 months. But you’ll start seeing results in a matter of weeks.

How will Invisalign® treatment straighten my teeth?

Your Invisalign® dentist will create a unique, digital treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. Based on this plan, your Invisalign® clear aligners are designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time. Your Invisalign® dentist will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners fit correctly.

What are the primary benefits of Invisalign® treatment?

Invisalign® clear aligners are virtually invisible, so people may not even notice you’re wearing them. You can remove them to eat and drink, brush and floss, or for special occasions. No metal brackets or wires could irritate your mouth or break.

Unlike other brands, Invisalign® clear aligners are made from patented SmartTrack material, which is more comfortable and provides a better fit. Invisalign® aligners are also trimmed based on your gum line for comfort and appearance. As the world’s most advanced clear aligner system, we have successfully improved over 8 million smiles, including 1.4 million teen smiles.

Am I guaranteed to have straight teeth with Invisalign® treatment?

Every smile is unique,  so your Invisalign® treatment starts with a consultation. During your consultation, your Invisalign®dentist will help you determine what Invisalign® treatment could do for your smile. We cannot guarantee a particular treatment outcome, but we encourage you to share your treatment goals with your Invisalign® dentist at your consultation.

Could Invisalign® treatment be right for me?

Invisalign® treatment can be a great solution for both adults and teens looking for a virtually invisible method to improve their smile. Our innovations and technological advancements make it possible to fix nearly all common teeth-straightening and bite issues, from simple to complex — all without interrupting your busy life. And, thanks to a discreet blue dot on the outside of teen aligners, parents can be sure their child is wearing their clear aligners enough.

How do I get started with Invisalign® treatment?

Our team can help you make an appointment with a dentist.

Many Invisalign® dentists offer free initial consultations. For the best experience, take the time to find the right dentist for you — someone who makes you feel comfortable and has the experience you’re looking for.

Can I go to any dentist or orthodontist for Invisalign® treatment?

Many orthodontists and dentists are Invisalign®-trained dentists, but not all are. Orthodontists and dentists who want to offer Invisalign® treatment must complete specialised training.

What should I bring to my consultation with my dentist?

Bring your questions (we’ve got a list to get you started here). You should also bring any information you might have about your dental history.

What should I expect during my consultation?

During your consultation, your dentist will discuss your teeth-straightening goals with you and examine your smile in order to determine your specific needs. Your dentist may also talk to you about how quickly you could reach your new smile, as well as your individual treatment cost.

Your dentist will most likely recommend scheduling a dental check-up and cleaning before you begin Invisalign® treatment to make sure your teeth and gums are in top health and to avoid unnecessary risks.

How long will treatment take?

The length of treatment depends on multiple factors, like how complex your case is and how often you wear your aligners. Your dentist will determine exactly how long your treatment could take based on your specific needs. On average, Invisalign®treatment time is 12 to 18 months, though you can start seeing results in a matter of weeks.

How often will I change my Invisalign® aligners?

Your dentist will tell you how often you should change to new Invisalign® aligners (this can vary based on your individual treatment plan). Many dentists recommend changing Invisalign® clear aligners weekly or every other week.

How often will I have appointments with my Invisalign® dentist?

Your dentist will schedule regular appointments, usually about once every four to six weeks. The goal of these visits is to ensure your Invisalign® treatment is progressing as planned.

My Invisalign® dentist mentioned “attachments”. What are they, and why would I need them for my Invisalign®treatment?

Your Invisalign® treatment may require SmartForce attachments, small tooth-coloured shapes that are attached to your teeth.

These shapes serve as handles, giving the aligners something to gently push on in order to move your teeth with the right amount of force, and are what make complex tooth movements possible without braces. Invisalign® clear aligners fit smoothly and tightly around them, so they’re barely noticeable.

While not everyone who uses Invisalign® clear aligners will need SmartForce attachments, if you need them, your Invisalign®dentist will attach them to your teeth at the start of or during your treatment and remove them when they are no longer needed.

Can anyone tell that I’m wearing the aligners?

Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible. Others may not even notice you’re wearing them, making Invisalign® treatment a seamless fit with your lifestyle.

Can I take my aligners off whenever I need to?

Yes, you can remove your Invisalign® aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. You can take them off for special occasions, such as a wedding, a job interview, or for playing your favourite sport or instrument. Just remember to wear them 20 to 22 hours a day to get the best results.

Are there any restrictions on what I can eat while in treatment?

None! Invisalign® clear aligners are removable, so there are no food restrictions at all (hello popcorn!). With traditional wires and brackets, there’s a long list of foods you unfortunately can’t enjoy, as they can damage or get stuck in your braces.

Is Invisalign® treatment painful?

Invisalign® treatment moves your teeth by applying gentle, constant force, but some people do feel temporary discomfort for the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners. Typically, people describe it as feeling “pressure”, and it’s normal — it’s a sign your Invisalign® clear aligners are working and transforming your smile.

Please see your Invisalign® dentist if you have any concerns or experience continued discomfort.

Sometimes, when I remove my aligners, my teeth feel loose. Is that common?

Yes. As your Invisalign® aligners gradually shift your teeth into their proper position, your gums are re-forming around each tooth as it moves. Be sure to talk to your dentist about any concerns.

Will Invisalign® treatment still work if I only wear my aligners while I sleep?

You need to wear your Invisalign® aligners 20 to 22 hours a day to get the results you want.

Will wearing Invisalign® clear aligners affect my speech?

It may take a couple of days for your tongue to get used to having your Invisalign® aligners in your mouth, and you may have a slight lisp. But this should disappear quickly.

Will smoking stain my aligners?

We discourage smoking while wearing Invisalign® aligners because it can stain them.

Can I chew gum while wearing aligners?

No, gum will stick to your Invisalign® aligners. We recommend removing your aligners for all meals and snacks, including gum.

Can the aligners slip off while I’m asleep?

It is highly unlikely that your aligners will ever fall out, regardless of what you are doing, such as sleeping, talking, or laughing. Invisalign® clear aligners are designed to fit snugly around your teeth, so this should not be a cause for concern.

I went on a trip and forgot to take my aligners with me. Will my aligners still fit?

The answer depends on how long you’ve gone without wearing your Invisalign® aligners. If it’s only been a short time, your aligners should still fit, but they might feel uncomfortable. If it’s been a long time, talk to your Invisalign® Doctor about your unique situation.

What’s the best way to clean my aligners?

The best way to clean your aligners is by brushing and rinsing them in lukewarm water and using the Invisalign® Cleaning Crystals or special cleaning tablets. It’s important that you brush your teeth after each meal before re-inserting your aligners to maintain good oral hygiene.

If I have food residue, such as blueberries or pasta sauce, in my mouth when I put my aligners back in, can they become stained?

Yes. That’s why it’s important to brush after every meal before placing your Invisalign® aligners back in your mouth.

What if I lose or break an aligner? What should I do?

If you lose or break an Invisalign® aligner, immediately let your dentist know. Your dentist will work with you to ensure you stay on track with your treatment plan, which may involve wearing a previous set of aligners, your next set of aligners, or ordering replacement aligners.

Can I order replacement aligners from the Invisalign® brand directly?

All aligners and retainers must be ordered through your Invisalign® dentist, as they are considered a prescription item. Please contact your dentist directly if you need to order a replacement.
