Invisalign gradually moves teeth to their correct spots through gentle pressure. This is achieved with a sequence of transparent aligners, each designed to make slight adjustments for progressive tooth movement. Typically, these aligners are swapped out for new ones every one to two weeks.

The length of treatment depends on the case’s intricacy. Typically, Invisalign therapy lasts about 12-18 months, which is comparable to the duration of wearing traditional braces.

Aligners need to be worn for 20-22 hours daily, taken out only when eating, drinking anything besides water, and during brushing and flossing.

To clean aligners, softly brush them with a soft-bristled toothbrush and lukewarm water. It’s important to steer clear of hot water and harsh cleaning agents, which could harm the aligners.
