Top 10 FAQs about Invisalign

1. What is Invisalign and how does it work?

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gently straighten your teeth. Each set of aligners is custom-made to gradually move your teeth into their ideal position. They’re nearly invisible and more comfortable than traditional metal braces.

2. How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Treatment duration varies depending on individual cases, but most people complete their Invisalign journey in 6 to 18 months. Your dentist or orthodontist will provide a personalised estimate after your initial consultation.

3. Is Invisalign suitable for everyone?

Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, gaps, cross bites, overbites and underbites. While it’s suitable for most teens and adults, a consultation with an Invisalign provider in Portishead will determine if it’s the best option for you.

4. How much does Invisalign cost in Portishead?

Costs can vary depending on the complexity of your case. On average, Invisalign treatment in the Portishead area typically ranges from £3,025 to £5,000. Evolve Dentistry offer interest-free finance plans to make treatment more affordable.

5. Are the aligners really invisible?

Invisalign aligners are made from a clear, medical-grade plastic, making them virtually invisible when worn. Most people won’t even notice you’re having orthodontic treatment.

6. Can I eat and drink normally with Invisalign?

Yes – one of Invisalign’s biggest advantages is that the aligners are removable. You’ll take them out to eat and drink, so there are no food restrictions. Just remember to brush your teeth before putting them back in.

For best results, you should wear your aligners for 22 hours per day, only removing them to eat, drink, brush and floss. Consistent wear is key to achieving your desired smile.

Invisalign typically requires fewer appointments than traditional braces. You’ll usually visit your dentist every 6 to 8 weeks to monitor progress and collect your next set of aligners.

To maintain your new smile, you’ll need to wear a removable retainer – usually at night. You will also have a fixed retainer fitted as part of your package with Evolve Dentistry.
