FAQs
No, Invisalign should fit snugly over your teeth. If your aligners feel loose, tight or don't sit properly, it could affect your treatment progress. In some cases, minor tightness is normal at first, but if discomfort persists, contact your Scarborough dentist for adjustments. Sometimes, using chewies can help the aligners settle correctly. Ignoring an ill-fitting aligner may delay your results, so it's best to get professional advice if you notice any issues with the fit.
Invisalign is designed to correct misalignment and improve your smile, but the final results depend on your unique dental structure and how well you follow the treatment plan. While it can significantly straighten teeth, achieving perfect alignment may require additional refinements. Your dental clinic will assess your progress and recommend any necessary adjustments to help you get the best possible outcome. Wearing the aligners consistently and attending follow-ups will maximize the effectiveness of the treatment.
To keep your aligners clean and damage-free, always store them properly in their protective case when not in use. Avoid placing them in napkins or on open surfaces, as they can easily get lost or exposed to bacteria. Rinse your aligners before storing them to prevent buildup. Keeping them safely in a cool, dry place is essential to maintain their shape. If you accidentally misplace or damage your Invisalign in Scarborough, visit your dentist as soon as possible to avoid disrupting your treatment.
The cost of Invisalign varies, but many dental offices provide flexible payment plans to make treatment more affordable. Some clinics offer monthly installment options, and certain insurance plans may cover part of the cost. If you're unsure about coverage, consult your emergency dentist or your provider for details. Many dental offices also accept third-party financing, helping patients manage costs without upfront payments. A consultation will give you a better idea of the payment options available for your Invisalign treatment.
For the best results, you should wear your clear aligners for at least 20 to 22 hours a day. They should only be removed when eating, drinking anything except water, or cleaning your teeth. Wearing them for shorter periods can slow progress and extend the treatment duration. Your dentist will guide you on maintaining consistency, ensuring your teeth shift correctly. Sticking to the recommended wear time is crucial for achieving the expected alignment within the estimated timeframe.
After Invisalign treatment, maintaining good oral hygiene and wearing retainers as prescribed will help keep your teeth in place. You can enjoy your normal routine without restrictions, but it's important to continue brushing, flossing, and attending dental check-ups. Some people may need to wear retainers at night to prevent teeth from shifting. Regular visits to your known dental clinic will ensure your smile stays aligned. Making these small adjustments will help maintain your Invisalign results for the long term.
