FAQ
Common questions about invisalign
Is Invisalign the same as clear aligners?
Invisalign is a clear aligner brand. Some dentists offer Invisalign while others offer different clear aligner systems. The treatment plan and provider oversight matter as much as the brand.
How long do clear aligners take?
Treatment length depends on tooth movement, bite needs, patient compliance, and refinements. Minor cases may be shorter, while complex cases can take much longer.
What should I ask before starting Invisalign?
Ask what issues are being corrected, how often visits occur, whether refinements are included, what retainers cost, and how the dentist handles tracking problems.
Are clear aligners right for everyone?
No. Some bite or tooth movement needs may require other orthodontic treatment. A dentist or orthodontic provider should evaluate your teeth, gums, bite, and goals.
