If you’re exploring Invisalign^® treatment or are already in the process of your customised treatment plan, here are answers to common questions to maximise your experience with this cutting-edge removable appliance.

How long should I wear my Invisalign^® clear aligners?

For best treatment results and efficiency, it is recommended to wear Invisalign^® aligners for 22 hours per day. You may take them out during meals, brushing, flossing, playing sport or musical instruments and special events. Just brush your teeth before wearing them again.

How often are Invisalign^® clear aligners replaced?

Depending on your customised treatment plan, your Specialist Orthodontist can prescribe wearing each set of aligners anywhere between 1 to 2 weeks before you are given a new set.

Do Invisalign^® clear aligners hurt?

No, your aligners are not supposed to hurt. However, it is completely normal to feel slight pressure, tenderness or discomfort for the first few days when you start wearing each new set of aligners. When your teeth adjust this discomfort should subside.

Can I eat normally with Invisalign^® treatment?

Yes, you may eat and proceed with all your usual activities like you normally would. Thanks to the flexibility and convenience of Invisalign^® clear aligners, your treatment does not get in the way of an active lifestyle.

What is Dental Monitoring and how is it paired with Invisalign^® treatment?

At Aberdeen Orthodontics, when you start with Invisalign^® treatment, you get access to Dental Monitoring - a revolutionary app that allows your Specialist Orthodontist to track your treatment progress through remote check-ins.
