Is it normal to leave Invisalign in all the time?
You should be wearing your aligners 22 out of 24 hours/day. You can eat snacks with your aligners in, but you would have better time eating main meals without aligners. If you eat with your aligners, please take them out after to rinse them and your mouth. READ MORE

Crowns can be moved with braces if they cover natural teeth. If a crown covers an implant - it can’t be moved. READ MORE

Invisalign is a tool. It makes a difference who is using this tool to determine the quality of the result. In my hands, Invisalign works very well and in many cases better than conventional braces. For most people, Invisalign is also a more comfortable treatment experience. READ MORE
