FAQ

Common questions about invisalign® clear aligners in Thousands Oaks, CA

How long does Invisalign treatment take?

Invisalign treatment typically takes 12 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of crowding, spacing, and bite alignment. Mild cases may finish sooner, while more complex orthodontic issues require additional time to achieve precise tooth movement.

How many hours per day should I wear Invisalign aligners?

For optimal results, Invisalign aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day. They should only be removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear ensures steady tooth movement and prevents treatment delays.

Is Invisalign painful compared to braces?

Invisalign is generally more comfortable than traditional braces. Some patients experience mild pressure when switching to a new aligner set, but this sensation is temporary and indicates that teeth are gradually shifting into position.

Can Invisalign fix crowded or gapped teeth?

Yes, Invisalign clear aligners can effectively treat mild to moderate crowding, spacing, and certain bite issues such as overbite or crossbite. A thorough evaluation determines whether aligners are appropriate for your specific orthodontic needs.

Will Invisalign affect my speech?

Some patients notice a brief adjustment period when first wearing aligners. Most adapt within a few days as the tongue becomes accustomed to the trays. At our Thousand Oaks dental office, careful monitoring helps ensure a smooth transition during treatment.

How do I clean and maintain Invisalign aligners?

Invisalign aligners should be cleaned daily using a soft toothbrush and gentle cleanser or approved cleaning crystals. Avoid hot water, which can warp the plastic. Dr. Amy Nabi provides personalized instructions to help maintain clarity, prevent staining, and support healthy tooth movement throughout treatment.
