Before beginning any new treatment, you probably have many questions for your dentist. We answer your questions fully to ensure you are comfortable and confident in your decisions and understand all of your options. If you are a candidate for Invisalign, some problems you may want to discuss before or during treatment include:
- How long will treatment last, and can I speed it up in any way?
Treatment time generally lasts from 12 to 18 months, but can vary based on your age, the complexity of your treatment needs, and other factors. You can ensure timely completion of your treatment by following all treatment recommendations and wearing your aligners exactly as prescribed.
- What if I lose or damage an aligner?
Because aligners are removable, mishaps can occur. If an aligner is lost or damaged, please let us know as soon as possible so that your treatment does not get off-track.
- How do I keep my teeth healthy during treatment?
Good brushing and flossing habits are your best friends. Brush after each meal to remove food debris and plaque from your teeth. Clean your teeth thoroughly before putting your aligners back in, and floss your teeth daily to remove any buildup from between your teeth.
