Quick answers to your questions
How do aligners work?
Invisalign® aligners gradually move your teeth into the desired position. You’ll wear a series of custom-made aligners, changing them every 1-2 weeks as your teeth adjust.
Who is a good candidate for Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is suitable for teens and adults with mild to moderate orthodontic issues, such as crooked teeth, gaps, or crowding. A consultation in Knutsford can determine if it’s right for you.
How long does Invisalign® treatment take?
The duration of Invisalign® treatment varies but typically ranges from 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case.
Is Invisalign® painful?
Invisalign® is generally more comfortable than traditional braces. You may experience mild pressure or discomfort when switching to a new aligner, but this usually subsides within a few days.
How often do I need to wear Invisalign® aligners?
For best results, you should wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.
What happens after Invisalign® treatment?
After completing Invisalign, you’ll need to wear a retainer to maintain your results. Retainers prevent teeth from shifting back to their original position.
