\"Dentist<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Since more than 18 million people have chosen Invisalign<\/a>, there\u2019s a good chance that a coworker, neighbor, close friend, or someone else you know has straightened their teeth with clear aligners. Asking them about their experience can be quite insightful, but what if you are doing your research late at night or want an immediate answer? In that case, you can read on to learn the answers to some of the most-asked questions about Invisalign!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you have a small, but noticeable, gap between your two front teeth or your teeth overlap considerably, you might be asking yourself, \u201cAm I a candidate for Invisalign?\u201d The answer is \u201cyes\u201d for many patients struggling with mild to moderate malocclusion. That said, the only way to find out for certain is by scheduling a consultation with your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Good news: Invisalign is considerably more comfortable than traditional braces since the aligners are custom-made for each patient and are completely metal-free. Of course, as your teeth move into their properly aligned positions, some soreness is to be expected. To combat that, stick to soft foods, use a cold compress, and take OTC pain medication as directed after switching to a new set of aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Will I Need Attachments?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Attachments are often used when the orthodontic problem at hand is more complex. Ultimately, whether or not you need attachments (or any other accessories) will be determined when your dentist assesses your case and determines your treatment plan. As always, if you have any questions about your teeth-straightening journey and what it looks like, don\u2019t hesitate to ask!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Invisalign typically takes between 12 and 18 months. That said, there are lots of factors that play a role in the length of your treatment \u2013 from the number of aligners needed to how consistently you wear yours. Fortunately, your dentist can give you an estimate at your consultation. They can also share their recommendations on what to do to avoid unwanted delays and added costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. What Should I Do If I Lose an Aligner?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you lose one of your Invisalign aligners, then retrace your steps to see if you can find them! If you\u2019ve looked in both the obvious and not-so-obvious places, but you still haven\u2019t found them, then give your dental team a call to let them know. Once they take a look at where you are in the teeth-straightening process, they can determine what the next best steps are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
