Invisalign works by using a series of custom-made clear aligners that are designed to gradually shift your teeth into their desired positions. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving on to the next set, which is advised by Dr Amo, our Invisalign dentist.
Invisalign can effectively treat many common orthodontic issues, such as crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. However, during your consultation, Dr Amo will assess your needs will determine whether Invisalign is the right treatment for you.
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, it takes about 12 to 18 months, but it could be shorter or longer in some cases.
Invisalign aligners are designed to be more comfortable than traditional braces. While you may experience some mild discomfort or pressure when you switch to a new set of aligners, it is generally less painful than braces.
After completing your Invisalign treatment, you will likely need to wear retainers to maintain the results. Dr Amo will provide guidance on how to wear them once your treatment is complete.
