What is Invisalign and how does it work?

Invisalign uses custom-made, transparent aligners that gradually move teeth into their correct positions. Treatment is digitally planned and includes 3D previews so you can see the expected outcome before you begin.

How many hours a day do I need to wear Invisalign aligners?

Aligners should be worn for 20–22 hours per day for on-time results. They are removed for eating, hot drinks and brushing, and can also be taken out for sports activities.

What Invisalign options are available?

Options include Invisalign Express (typically 7–16 weeks for minor cases/relapse), Invisalign Lite (3–6 months for mild to moderate cases), and Invisalign Moderate (6–12 months for moderate movements).

Can Invisalign treat complex bite problems such as overbites?

Yes. The page states Invisalign can straighten teeth with overbites, crossbites, open bites, underbites and other complex bite problems, particularly with Invisalign Full/Comprehensive.

Will I need retainers after Invisalign?

Yes. Retainers are used after treatment to maintain your new smile and keep teeth in their new position long-term.

Guide to Invisalign

Is Invisalign effective for overbites?

Invisalign also guarantees that it can straighten teeth with overbites, crossbites, open bites, underbites and other more complex bite problems with Invisalign Full/Comprehensive.

How long does Invisalign take to straighten teeth?

The right answer depends on the condition of your bite.

If you have minor or mild problems, such as slightly crooked teeth or gaps, you can expect Invisalign to be effective within 2 to 6 months.
The fastest versions of Invisalign are Invisalign i7, Invisalign Express & Invisalign Go, which promise to straighten very mild bite problems and conditions like gaps between teeth in 7 to 12 weeks.
If you’re closing gaps between teeth with Invisalign, you can expect that aligner to move 0.2mm with every tray, so you can expect Invisalign to take three months if you have a gap that’s 0.6mm large.
If we’re using Invisalign to correct complex bite problems, such as overcrowding, crooked teeth, or overbites, we can expect treatment times of around 6 months.

Will I need to wear retainers after treatment?

Yes. Retainers help maintain your new smile after aligner treatment. This applies to most of our patients in Chester.

Does Invisalign hurt?

You may feel slight pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, but it’s generally more comfortable than metal braces.

Can you eat normally with Invisalign?

Yes. Invisalign® aligners are removable, so you can eat, drink, and brush as usual.
