Risks & Recovery
Possible risks include:
- Mild discomfort or pressure when changing to a new set of aligners
- Temporary irritation to the cheeks, lips, or tongue
- Short-term changes to speech, usually resolving as you adapt
- Risk of cavities or gum irritation if aligners are not cleaned properly
- Small chance of aligners warping if exposed to heat
Possible risks include:
- Many patients adapt to aligner wear within a few days
- Aligners can be removed for eating and cleaning, so there is no dietary restriction
- Consistency is important, as aligners should be worn 20ā22 hours per day for the best results
- Regular reviews are scheduled to monitor progress and make adjustments if needed
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic solution that straightens teeth using custom-made, clear aligners instead of traditional brackets and wires. These aligners are virtually invisible, comfortable, and removable, allowing you to eat, brush, and floss without restrictions.
