Frequently Asked Questions

Is Invisalign uncomfortable?
Your teeth may be tender for 3-5 days each time you progress to the next aligner. It may take a few days to get used to this. If necessary, painkillers such as the ones you normally take for headaches may help (always read the instructions). If possible do not stop wearing the brace or else you will have to go through the 3-5 days of discomfort all over again.
Can I eat normally?
Yes, you will be able to eat normally. The aligner will need to be removed for eating and drinking. Please brush your teeth after every meal to ensure no food particles are sitting trapped in the aligners afterwards causing tooth decay. If you have attachments then it is best to avoid hard and sticky foods to prevent them from breaking and complicating the treatment progress. You are required to wear your aligners a minimum of 23 hours per day. It is important you follow these instructions in order for the treatment to work effectively.
Does Invisalign come with any challenges?
Your speech may be different over the first few days after the fit of the initial aligner. Practice speaking with the aligner in place so your speech will return to normal. You may also find you produce extra saliva. This is normal and will quickly pass.
Do I need to change my oral hygiene routine?
Please continue to maintain good oral hygiene whilst opting for Invisalign treatment. Brush your teeth 3 times a day for at least 3 minutes using fluoride toothpaste. Use a daily alcohol free fluoride mouthwash at least 20 min after brushing. Make sure your gums are nice and healthy by brushing them at the same time as brushing your teeth.
How do I care for my aligner?
Clean your aligner using your toothbrush and small amount of toothpaste every time you take it in and out. Once a week use RETAINER BRITE provided by your orthodontist-follow the instructions on the box. Always put the aligners into the box provided if you are not wearing them. Placing them into your pocket or a tissue will only result in the aligners being lost or damaged which will incur a replacement charge.
How often do I need an appointment?
You will need regular appointments (usually every 4-6 weeks) at our practice during treatment to monitor the progress. It is important you still have checkups and hygiene (every 3-6 months) with your regular dentist throughout the treatment. Your orthodontist will not be checking your teeth for decay or gum disease.
What if I lose or damage my aligner?
Please call us immediately for an emergency appointment. Please note that there will be a charge and possible delay of the treatment.
How do I insert my aligner?
You are required to change your aligners every 2 weeks. It is best to do this at night time before you go to sleep. Each aligner is trimmed by hand so if you find a rough area this can be gently polished using a nail file. Each aligner is engraved with the stage number on the molar teeth (e.g. U02 meaning upper aligner number 2). Ensure the aligner is seated down correctly over all of your teeth. Do not bite your aligners into position as this may damage them.
