INVISALIGN FAQ

  • What is Invisalign?
    Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment at Scenic City Orthodontics that uses custom-made, clear aligners to straighten teeth without the wires and brackets of traditional braces.
  • How does Invisalign work?
    Invisalign aligners work by applying controlled pressure to your teeth, gradually moving them into alignment. Each set of aligners is worn for about one to two weeks before moving to the next in the series.
  • What are the advantages of Invisalign?
    Invisalign offers the advantages of being virtually invisible, removable for eating and cleaning, and typically more comfortable than traditional braces, making it a popular choice among adults and teens.
  • Is Invisalign as effective as traditional braces?

    The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on the complexity of the case, but generally, it ranges from 12 to 18 months, similar to traditional braces.
  • Can I eat normally with Invisalign?
