Every single aligner is customized based on the patient’s gum line that allows for better comfort and appearance.

Invisalign does not discolor or stains teeth like traditional wires. Cleaning them is yet again very simple. They can just be brushed and rinsed with warm water.

The process of wearing Invisalign for the first time is also very simple. Your dentist will digitally scan the teeth without having to perform a traditional impression. The custom aligners are made using Invisalign state-of-the-art printing process. During the first appointment, you will be explained about the functioning and the dentist will further ensure that aligners fit and are trimmed properly around the gums.

Aligners should be changed every week or as prescribed by your dentist. To ensure that everything is performing as expected, you must schedule a follow up appointment with your dentist. To ensure that aligners are performing effectively, it is important to wear them at least 20-22 hours a day.
