Perhaps you're wondering what Invisalign treatment with Tampa orthodontist Dr. Mark Farina is really like, and what effect it will have on your daily activities? Will it slur your speech? Will people know you're in treatment? You're not alone in your concerns! Dr. Farina and our team thought we’d share this list of questions and answers for anyone pondering Invisalign treatment at Farina Orthodontics.
How, exactly, does Invisalign work?
Using 3-D computer imaging technology, Invisalign creates a series of custom-made, clear aligners exclusively for your teeth, based on the treatment plan that we specify for you. Each aligner moves teeth incrementally and is worn for about two weeks, then replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved.
Will I experience any pain during treatment?
Most people experience temporary discomfort for a few days after a new aligner is placed. This feeling of pressure is normal and is a sign that Invisalign is working by sequentially moving your teeth to their final destination.
Are there any foods I shouldn’t eat while in treatment?
You can eat normally during the entire course of treatment. One of the advantages of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. Simply take the aligners out before each meal, brush when you're finished eating, then reinsert the aligners afterward.
How often must I wear my aligners?
Aligners should be worn all day, except when eating, brushing, and flossing.
How do I clean my aligners?
The best way to clean your aligners is by brushing and rinsing them in lukewarm water.
How often must I visit Farina Orthodontics during my treatment?
For most patients, visits every 4-6 weeks are frequent enough for us to determine that your treatment is progressing properly. Dr. Farina will provide you with a specific schedule that supports your individual treatment plan. Give us a call to learn more!
