Pre Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign can address most but not all teeth straightening concerns.
To ascertain your suitability for orthodontic treatment with Invisalign, Core Dental offers a free Invisalign consultation. At this appointment we will assess your suitability for Invisalign and determine what treatment is best for your individual case. You will receive a comprehensive quote and treatment plan and you’ll even get to see a projection of what your smile will look like at the end.

Some people may experience minor discomfort at the beginning of each new stage of treatment, when a new aligner is inserted. Patients typically describe this as a feeling of pressure. Feeling discomfort during any orthodontic treatment is a good sign as it indicates that your teeth are moving into their new positions. The discomfort typically dissipates after a couple of days as the wearer becomes accustomed to the new aligners. Over-the-counter pain management can also help, if required.
Yes, you will require retainers to keep your teeth in position; but no, there is no additional charge for these at Smile Solutions. We include this cost when we quote up front for all treatment, appointments and aligners.
Yes. Most people who have had orthodontic treatment and are not completely happy are eligible for Invisalign treatment. In many cases the treatment is shorter and cheaper.
During Invisalign Treatment
Each case is different so there isn’t a set length of time but the average is 12 to 18 months. You will receive a full treatment outline when you come in for a free consultation, which includes an approximate timeframe.
You may find there is an initial adjustment period with having something new in your mouth but many people report no effect to speech at all.
You will need to visit us every 6 to 8 weeks for a progress review and to collect your next set of aligners.
None. Because you remove the aligners to eat you can eat what you want. Brushing and flossing your teeth after each meal and before reinserting your aligners is recommended.
Aligners should be worn all the time – day and night – with the exception of when you remove them to eat, brush and floss your teeth or if you remove them for special occasions. As a guide, you should wear your aligners for at least 22 hours per day.
It is best to clean your aligners before each insertion. This can be done using cold water and a toothbrush (without toothpaste). Soaking aligners in cool water and vinegar or Retainer Brite will remove any stains or debris (other than gum). Simply place your aligners in a cup of water and add one tablet of Retainer Brite, which will turn the water blue. Once the water is clear again, your aligners will be too! Rinse them thoroughly in cold water before re-inserting. It is best to clean your aligners while they are out during mealtimes, to avoid extra time out of the mouth.
Do not use warm or hot water, denture cleaners or mouthwash as these will distort the aligners.
When taking your aligners out to eat or drink, remember to store them in the protective box provided. Avoid placing them in tissue or your pockets to prevent accidentally damaging or discarding them.
You can purchase replacement aligners for $100 per set.
