Q: How often should I be wearing my Invisalign?A: It is recommended to wear your Invisalign approximately 20-22 hours a day and remove them for routine brushing and flossing. Q: What is Invisalign made of?A: Invisalign is made up of a thermoplastic material that is molded to fit your teeth. They are clear trays that fit over your teeth and are invisible to the general population.

Q: How long is the treatment program?A: Invisalign usually takes approximately 12 months for the average adult and can vary patient to patient. Speaking with us directly about your treatment plan will help to determine the duration of treatment and expected results for your particular case. Q: Can Invisalign become stained?A: Yes! It is very important to brush your teeth before and after each meal to help keep your Invisalign trays stain free. Proper brushing can assist with staining concerns as can proper cleaning of your Invisalign trays. Good dental hygiene is always recommended, especially with orthodontics. Q: Will a retainer be required after I'm finished with Invisalign?A: Most likely a retainer will be required after completing the Invisalign orthodontic treatment plan, but we address every case on an individual basis.
