How Does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving to the next set in the series. This process continues until your desired smile is achieved.

Treatment Process

Wear your aligners for 20-22 hours daily, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. As directed by Dr. Storer, change to a new set of aligners every 1-2 weeks. Regular check-ups ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.

Invisalign FAQs

How often do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners, and what happens if I forget to wear them for a day? Is there any way to make up for lost time, or will this significantly impact my treatment timeline?

Wear aligners 20-22 hours daily for optimal results. Missing a day may slightly delay progress. Can't make up time, but resume wearing as directed. Consistent wear is key to staying on track with your treatment timeline.

Can I eat and drink normally while wearing Invisalign aligners, or are there certain foods and beverages I should avoid? What about smoking or chewing gum?

Remove aligners when eating or drinking anything but water. No food restrictions, but avoid smoking and gum with aligners in. Clean teeth before reinserting to prevent staining and maintain good oral hygiene.

How do I clean my Invisalign aligners properly, and how often should I clean them? Are there any special products I should use or avoid?

Clean aligners morning and night with lukewarm water and gentle soap. Avoid hot water and harsh chemicals. Use Invisalign cleaning crystals or denture cleaner occasionally. Rinse aligners when removing and before reinserting.

Will wearing Invisalign aligners affect my speech, and if so, how long does it typically take to adjust? Are there any exercises I can do to help with any speech changes?

Minor speech changes, like a slight lisp, are possible initially. Most adjust within a few days to a week. Practice reading aloud or counting to speed up the adjustment. If issues persist, consult your dentist for personalized advice.

How often will I need to visit the dentist for check-ups during my Invisalign treatment, and what happens during these appointments? How long do they typically last?

Check-ups are usually every 6-8 weeks, and appointments typically last 15-30 minutes. The dentist checks progress, provides new sets of aligners, and makes any necessary adjustments to ensure treatment is on track.

After completing Invisalign treatment, will I need to wear a retainer? If so, for how long, and what type of retainer is typically recommended? How do I care for my retainer?

Retainer wear is crucial post-treatment. Initially, wear full-time, then nightly indefinitely. Clear retainers or fixed wire retainers are common. Clean daily with lukewarm water and gentle soap and replace as recommended by your dentist.
