Frequently Asked Questions
If you have crooked teeth, gaps, an overbite, an underbite, or crowding, an orthodontist can assess your case and recommend the best option. Braces are ideal for complex cases, while Invisalign offers a discreet, removable alternative for mild to moderate misalignment.
Both can cause mild discomfort as your teeth shift, especially after adjustments or new aligners. The pain is usually temporary and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief and soft foods. Invisalign may be less painful than traditional braces due to its smoother design.
Treatment time varies based on the severity of misalignment. Braces typically take 18 months to 3 years, while Invisalign averages 12 to 18 months. Following your orthodontist’s instructions and wearing aligners as directed (22 hours daily) can speed up the process.
With braces, you should avoid sticky, hard, or crunchy foods like popcorn, gum, and caramel to prevent damage. Invisalign lets you eat anything, but you must remove the aligners before meals and brush before putting them back in.
With braces, you should visit your orthodontist every 4 to 6 weeks for adjustments. Invisalign patients typically check in every 6 to 8 weeks to monitor progress and get new trays. Avoid skipping visits as it can delay your results.
