How long does Invisalign treatment take?
Invisalign treatment is specific for each patient, but we’re able to give you a really good idea before you finally commit yourself to treatment. It can be as short as 3 months, and it can be as long as 18 months. Most of our patients find their treatments last about 12 months. Invisalign treatment used to take a long time, but Dr Toy was involved with research which enabled him to halve the time to put Invisalign in.
-
Is the Invisalign process painful?
The worst feeling you’ll get is like a really good scale and polish, where you get some vibration and a lot of water. At any time, you can put your hand up and your dentist will stop straightaway. No injections are required throughout the whole Invisalign process. Once the aligners are fitted, the worst feeling you’ll get is some slight discomfort.
-
Are Invisalign aligners easy to wear?
Many people actually find they prefer to wear the aligners, although at the start it may be difficult to try them on. Your teeth may be in slight discomfort when they move, but because they’re protected by the aligners, it’s not something that will bother you on a daily basis. Invisalign are better than fixed braces in this regard, because fixed braces can be very painful. Fixed braces can rub your lips and cheeks, and they certainly hurt your teeth when the practitioner tightens up those wires.

What are the advantages of choosing Invisalign aligners over traditional braces?
They are virtually invisible, allowing you to smile confidently throughout your treatment. Invisalign’s removable design means you can enjoy your favourite foods without restrictions and maintain optimal oral hygiene. The smooth, custom-fit aligners provide superior comfort, eliminating the discomfort often associated with wire adjustments. Plus, Invisalign treatment often requires fewer office visits and may provide faster results
