Invisalign FAQ

How does Invisalign work?

Invisalign is an alternative to metal braces. Invisalign is aligners made of clear plastic and must be fitted over the teeth that need correction. The aligners will correct the position of your teeth and get them back to their optimal positions in due time.

20 hours is the recommended duration that you need to keep wearing the aligners each day. However, you are allowed to take them off each time you need to eat and brush your teeth. Those are the only two occasions that you are allowed to remove your aligners. Otherwise, you need to keep them inserted over your teeth.

Does Invisalign provide better benefits than metal braces?

What are the things that I should expect when I undergo an Invisalign treatment?

Dr. Porsch will check your teeth first to know whether Invisalign is the most suitable solution to your teeth problem. The dentist usually creates physical impressions of your teeth or generates 3D images with the help of a digital scanner. With the help of these images or impressions of your teeth, Dr. Porsch can now draw the most fitting treatment plan specific to your needs.

If Invisalign is the answer, Dr. Porsch will customize clear, plastic aligners that are specially created for your teeth. The aligners will move your teeth gradually into their proper places or specific positions as you keep wearing them. As your teeth gradually get back to their places, new aligners are created to continue making progress. It will continue until you flash a confident, beaming smile.
