Are you thinking about using Invisalign to straighten your teeth<\/a>? This treatment is discreet, effective, and convenient \u2014 you have a lot to look forward to! Of course, you may want to learn more about it before you make any big commitments. Below, you will find answers to some of the biggest Invisalign questions that patients ask.               <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You cannot know for sure how much your treatment will cost until you attend a consultation with an Invisalign provider. Most patients end up paying at least a few thousand dollars. Often, the price of Invisalign is in the same general ballpark as that of traditional braces. Many dental practices offer financing to help patients afford their desired treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does Invisalign Hurt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign aligners are made of smooth plastic that rests comfortably against the gums. There are no metal brackets and wires to cause irritation! However, Invisalign still places pressure on the teeth, which can cause some mild discomfort. Over-the-counter pain relievers and other simple measures are usually enough to keep any discomfort under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Does Invisalign Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On average, Invisalign takes 12 months. Your case might require more or less time. It depends on the severity of your teeth\u2019s misalignment and other factors, including your compliance with your dentist\u2019s instructions. During your consultation, your dental team can estimate your treatment timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Invisalign Really Invisible?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign aligners are not totally invisible, but they are <\/em>very discreet. Even though your teeth might look a little bigger than usual, Invisalign is unlikely to be the first thing that other people notice about your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Happens if I Lose One of My Invisalign Trays?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After you check all the likely places for your missing Invisalign aligner, call your dentist. You might be able to move on to a new aligner a few days earlier than planned. Or, you might have to return to wearing a previous aligner until your dentist can replace the one that got lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Should I Wear My Invisalign Aligners Each Day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is best to wear your aligners for 20 \u2013 22 hours each day, removing them only when you eat or take care of your oral hygiene. Remember, Invisalign only works when you are using it! Failure to meet your wear time could delay your treatment results and cause other complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I Smoke While Using Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Cigarette smoke can quickly stain Invisalign aligners and endanger your oral health. It is best to avoid tobacco products altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
