Frequently Asked Questions
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners to gradually straighten your teeth. It’s an alternative to traditional metal braces, offering a more discreet and comfortable way to achieve a beautifully aligned smile.
How does Invisalign work?
Invisalign aligners work by applying controlled pressure to your teeth, gently moving them into their desired position over time. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before moving on to the next set in the series, gradually shifting your teeth into their proper alignment.
How long does Invisalign treatment take?
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, it ranges from 12 to 18 months, but some cases may require more or less time. Dr. McCauley will provide you with an estimated treatment timeline during your consultation.
Is Invisalign treatment painful?
Invisalign treatment typically involves less discomfort than traditional braces. You may experience some pressure and minor discomfort for a few days after switching to a new set of aligners, but this is generally mild and temporary.
Can I eat and drink while wearing Invisalign aligners?
You should remove your Invisalign aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents damage to the aligners and maintains good oral hygiene.
How often do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners?
For the best results, you should wear your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?
Clean your Invisalign aligners by brushing them gently with a toothbrush and rinsing them in lukewarm water. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the plastic. Invisalign cleaning crystals can also be used for a deeper clean.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Some people may experience a slight temporary lisp when they first start wearing Invisalign aligners. However, as your mouth adjusts to the aligners, any speech impediments usually disappear.
How much does Invisalign cost?
The cost of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment. During your consultation at McCauley Dental, we’ll provide you with a detailed cost estimate.
Is Invisalign as effective as traditional braces?
For many cases, Invisalign is just as effective as traditional braces. It’s suitable for treating a wide range of orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, gaps, and bite misalignments. Dr. McCauley will assess your specific needs to determine if Invisalign is the best treatment option for you.
