Frequently Asked Questions
The duration of the treatment depends on the complexity of the case. Mild corrections may be completed in as little as six months, while more involved alignment concerns can take twelve to eighteen months or longer. Your treatment plan at Dencity will include a projected timeline specific to your teeth.
Most patients experience mild pressure or tightness when switching to a new aligner tray which is a sign the aligner is doing its job. This typically fades within a day or two. There are no sharp brackets or wires as such to irritate the mouth, making the overall experience significantly more comfortable than traditional braces.
No aligners should always be removed before eating or drinking anything other than plain water. This protects the trays from damage and staining, and it means there are no dietary restrictions during treatment.
For effective results, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day. The remaining time is reserved for meals, oral hygiene, and any special situations where removal is necessary.
Absolutely. Invisalign Teen is made specifically for teenagers, including compliance indicators, space for erupting teeth, and other similar features. Parents often find it easier to deal with the removable aligners rather than traditional fixed braces.
Please contact Dencity as soon as possible. In general, we may recommend using the old trays or the new ones in the sequence you are up to in your treatment.
Invisalign uses FDA approved material, advanced 3D planning, and is backed by clinical research. Many generic aligner brands lack the same precision, material quality, and clinical support infrastructure.
The cost depends on the complexity of the case, number of aligners required, and treatment duration. Dencity provides a detailed, transparent cost breakdown after your digital scan and consultation with no hidden fees.
Some patients notice a slight adjustment period in the first few days. Most find that speech returns to normal quickly as the tongue adapts to the presence of the trays. The smooth, thin profile of Invisalign aligners minimizes any long-term speech impact.
Some patients use whitening gel in their aligners for a convenient whitening experience during treatment. Our team can advise on whether this is appropriate for your case and which products are safe to use with your aligners.
Rinse aligners with lukewarm water when removing them. Clean them mildly with a soft toothbrush and mild soap avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic. Invisalign's own cleaning crystals are also an effective option.
After the final aligner, retainers are provided to hold your teeth in their new positions. Consistent retainer wear especially in the first year is what ensures your results are maintained long-term.
There's no upper age limit. Adults of any age can be evaluated for Invisalign, provided they have healthy gums and adequate bone structure. Younger children may be evaluated for early interceptive treatment on a case-by-case basis.
Progress monitoring appointments are typically scheduled every six to eight weeks significantly less frequent than traditional brace adjustments. The exact schedule depends on your individual treatment plan.
