Your Invisalign provider will develop a personalised digital treatment plan that outlines the precise movements your teeth will make over time. The clear aligners are custom-made to apply targeted pressure at the right moments, guiding your teeth into alignment according to the treatment roadmap. Throughout the process, your progress will be closely monitored to ensure everything is on track and your aligners continue to fit properly.

Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of your case and how consistently you wear your aligners. Your dentist will give you a tailored timeline, but on average, most Invisalign treatments last between 12 and 18 months. That said, many patients begin noticing improvements within just a few weeks.

For optimal results, it’s important to wear your Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours each day. You should only remove them when eating, drinking anything besides water, or brushing and flossing your teeth.

To keep your aligners clean, rinse and gently brush them using lukewarm water. Invisalign Cleaning Crystals or designated cleaning tablets can also be used for a deeper clean. Remember to brush your teeth after every meal before putting your aligners back in to help maintain both aligner clarity and overall oral hygiene.

The schedule for changing aligners is personalised based on your treatment plan. In many cases, patients switch to a new set weekly or every two weeks, as recommended by their Invisalign provider.

Having crowns or veneers doesn’t automatically rule out Invisalign treatment, but your provider will need to evaluate your dental work and oral condition to determine the best approach for your specific situation.
