Invisalign Clear Aligners FAQs
Does Invisalign work as well as braces?
For many crowding, spacing and bite problems, yes. Your orthodontist will tell you honestly at your consultation if braces would get a better result.
Can teens use Invisalign?
Yes. Invisalign for kids and teens is designed for growing smiles and includes compliance indicators to help track wear time.
Is Invisalign painful?
Most people feel mild pressure for a day or two with each new set. That means the aligners are working.
Can I eat with aligners?
Take them out to eat or drink anything besides water, then brush and pop them back in.
What is Invisalign Touch-Up?
A shorter treatment for minor gaps, crowding or shifting — often after earlier treatment — in as little as 6 months.
What is an iTero scan?
A digital 3D scan that replaces gooey impressions. It is fast, comfortable and lets you preview your results.
