6 Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign treatment has many benefits over traditional braces, such as:
Virtually invisible and discreet- the trays are clear so no one will know you’re wearing them!
More comfortable - the trays are made from SmartTrack material, making them more comfortable and easier to put on and take off.
Removable - you can take them out to eat, drink and perform regular hygiene activities.
Easier to clean - keeping your trays clean is a breeze.
Fewer Office Visits - you get your custom trays to switch out every few weeks.
Faster Results - patients tend to see faster results with Invisalign versus traditional braces.
How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?
Treatment times for Invisalign can vary based on a variety of factors.
The average Invisalign treatment is 12-18 months.
Simple cases may only take 6 months but the exact length will depend on your individual case. Although you should start seeing results in a matter of weeks or months.
The dentist will give you a series of aligners which need to be changed every 1-2 weeks. You must wear the aligners for atleast 22 hours a day.
If you do not consistently wear the aligners the treatment will not be as effective and could take longer for you to see results.
Below are some of the most frequently asked questions we get about Invisalign:

They must be worn at least 22 hours a day, with 2 hours allotted for eating, drinking, brushing and flossing.
Is Invisalign painful?
No, you may experience some minor discomfort when you first put the aligner in or change to a new aligner but the discomfort will subside.
