Very convenient
Hi
Invisalign can accomplish much in the world of orthodontics . The system has expanded to accommodate myofunctional therapy as well. The main issue with Invisalign or any aligner therapy is compliance . The individual wears each aligner for 20-24 hours a day only removing for eating and brushing . Anything new in the mouth has an adaptive period . It works well but subjective to the individuals personality, if diligent and compliant it’s a great choice. Hope this helps .
Yes very comfortable and convenient. It is not for every type of patient. Its dependent on how extreme your bite is. However, it has great results and easy to wear.
Yes. Generally, Invisalign is comfortable but you will feel pressure as they begin to move the teeth. Normally this only lasts a few days.
The teeth can be periodically sore during Invisalign treatment. The teeth are being moved through the bone to their desired location. Warm slat water rinses and Ibuprofen (if you can medically take it) generally help relieve the discomfort.
