If you’re considering orthodontics, chances are you’ve heard about Invisalign. But hearing and understanding how it works are two different things. As a provider of the best Invisalign treatment in Dubai, our dentists from Precision Dental Clinic are more than happy to answer your questions about Invisalign clear aligners for teeth so you can decide if they’re right for you.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign replaces metal braces with clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners work by exerting gentle pressure on your teeth to move them into proper alignment slowly. Our team will develop a treatment plan and customise a series of aligners for your procedure. You’ll wear the aligners full-time, 20 to 22 hours a day, and switch to a new set every two weeks. This keeps your teeth constantly moving toward your smile goals.

How does Invisalign differ from traditional braces?
Removability is one of the main differences, as metal braces are attached to your teeth for the duration of your treatment. Invisalign aligners are made from a clear plastic material with no metal components that could irritate your gum tissues. Unlike metal braces, they blend in, making your treatment totally discreet. You don’t have to alter your diet or oral hygiene routine with Invisalign, as the aligners are removed for eating and brushing your teeth. You’ll also have fewer dental visits interrupting your busy schedule.

What kind of orthodontic issues can Invisalign correct?
Most orthodontic problems can be corrected with Invisalign, from crooked and overlapping teeth to misaligned bites, uneven spacing and crowding. If we run into a complex problem that’s beyond Invisalign’s ability to correct, we’ll let you know during your consultation so you can choose an alternative treatment.
How long does Invisalign take?
The duration of your treatment will depend on the problems we’re fixing, their severity and your compliance with wearing the aligners as instructed. Most treatments take between 12 and 18 months to complete.
Are the aligners painful to wear?
No, the aligners are not painful to wear or difficult to use, as they’re custom-made for your teeth. You will, however, feel pressure on your teeth, which is necessary to move them into alignment. This pressure may feel slightly uncomfortable for a day or two until you adjust to using the aligners.
How do I care for the aligners?
Aligner care is simple. Rinse them with warm water every time they’re removed and brush gently with a soft toothbrush and Invisalign solution at least once daily. Never eat or drink anything but water with the aligners. Store them safely in their container when not in use.
Do I need a retainer after my treatment?
Yes, most people will transition to wearing a final retainer to keep their teeth from shifting back to their crooked position. Retainers keep your teeth well-aligned indefinitely to protect your investment.
