Q: What exactly is Invisalign, and is it a good choice for me in Boston? A:
Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made plastic aligners to gently move your teeth into their correct positions. It’s a very popular choice for many adults and teens looking for smile correction in Boston because the aligners are almost invisible and can be taken out. If you’re wondering if Invisalign is right for your smile goals, we invite you for a free consultation at our Boston orthodontistoffice to discuss your specific needs.
Q: How do I clean my Invisalign aligners to keep them clear? A:
Keeping your Invisalign aligners clean is easy! The best way is to brush them gently with a little soap and water, or even some toothpaste. For the clearest aligners, try to do this after every meal. You can also use special cleaning crystals that come in your Invisalign kit, or a denture cleaner solution from your local Boston CVS or Amazon. Doing this once a day will keep them very clean and clear.
Q: How many hours a day do I need to wear my Invisalign aligners? A:
To get the best results for your Invisalign in Boston treatment, you should wear your aligners about 22 hours a day. You only need to take them out when you’re eating, drinking anything but water, or brushing your teeth. It’s important to put them back in as quickly as possible, because your teeth are only moving when the aligners are in your mouth.
Q: Will wearing Invisalign affect how I speak? A:
It’s common for some patients to have a slight lisp for the first few days when they start using Invisalign clear aligners. This happens because there’s a new material in your mouth, and your tongue needs to get used to it. You can help reduce the lisp by trying to speak clearly and talking as much as you can.
Most people adjust quickly within a few days and will speak perfectly normally very soon. This is a temporary part of your Seaport smile correction journey.
Q: How long does Invisalign treatment usually take with a Boston orthodontist? A:
The length of your Invisalign treatment depends on how much your teeth need to move and how consistently you wear your aligners. For many patients seeking Invisalign in Boston, treatment can range from 6 to 18 months, or sometimes a bit longer for more complex cases. During your free consultation, Dr. Ella will give you a clear idea of your estimated treatment timeline.
