Find answers to some of the most common questions about Invisalign at The Oakwood Clinic.
Invisalign is suitable for most people, including both adults and teens, and can address a range of orthodontic issues such as crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. During your free consultation at The Oakwood Clinic, our orthodontist will assess your needs and determine if Invisalign is the right treatment for you.
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. Typically, treatment can take anywhere from 6 to 18 months, but our orthodontist will give you an estimated timeline during your consultation here in Oakwood.
Invisalign aligners are custom-made for your teeth, and while they may feel slightly tight or uncomfortable when you first wear them, this is normal and usually subsides within a few days. The aligners are made of smooth plastic, so they’re gentle on the inside of your mouth compared to traditional braces.
No, it’s recommended to remove your aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This helps prevent any staining or damage to the aligners, ensuring the best results. Invisalign aligners are removable, but should be worn for at least 22 hours every day.
To keep your aligners clean, rinse them with lukewarm water and use a toothbrush to gently clean them. Avoid using toothpaste as it can scratch the aligners. You can also use the Invisalign cleaning system or a mild soap solution.
Invisalign is highly versatile and can be used for both minor and more complex orthodontic issues. Whether you have slight teeth misalignment or more significant bite concerns, our orthodontist will tailor the treatment to your specific needs.
