Invisalign FAQ
- How long does Invisalign treatment take?
- Most Invisalign® cases finish in 6 to 18 months. Simple crowding or spacing corrections often complete in 6 to 9 months, while cases that also correct the bite usually run 12 to 18 months. At Smile Lounge West Hollywood, Dr. Sherwin Matian maps your timeline at the first visit using a chair-side oral scanner, so you see the projected result before treatment starts.
- Are Invisalign aligners noticeable?
- No. Invisalign® aligners are made from clear, medical-grade thermoplastic that is nearly invisible at conversational distance. Most patients find that colleagues do not notice them, which is why clear aligners are a common choice among the adult patients we treat in West Hollywood.
- Do Invisalign aligners hurt?
- No, but mild pressure for the first day or two of each new tray is normal and expected. That tightness means the aligner is moving your teeth as planned. It typically fades within 48 hours, and most patients describe it as pressure rather than pain.
- How many hours a day do I need to wear my aligners?
- Wear them 20 to 22 hours a day. Remove your aligners only to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to brush and floss. Consistent wear is the single largest factor in finishing on schedule, and dropping below 20 hours a day is the most common reason treatment runs long.
- Can I eat and drink with Invisalign?
- Remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than plain water. Hot liquids can warp the thermoplastic, and pigmented drinks such as coffee, tea, and red wine will stain the trays. Brush before reinserting so food is not held against your enamel.
- How do I clean my Invisalign aligners?
- Rinse them every time you take them out, then brush gently with a soft toothbrush and lukewarm water. Avoid hot water, which distorts the material, and avoid abrasive whitening toothpaste, which clouds the surface. A dedicated aligner cleaner once a day keeps them clear.
- Is Invisalign as effective as braces?
- For mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and bite problems, Invisalign® is as effective as fixed braces when worn as directed. Complex skeletal corrections can still be better served by traditional brackets. Dr. Matian reviews both options with you and recommends whichever reaches your goal predictably.
- What happens after Invisalign treatment is complete?
- You move into retainers. Teeth drift after any orthodontic treatment, so a retainer holds the final position, and most patients wear one nightly long term. Your retainer is produced from the same digital scan used during treatment, so it matches your result precisely.
