Invisalign Go: Everything You Wanted to Know

We answer some of the most common questions when it comes to Invisalign Go.

Is Invisalign Go the right option for me?

Gaps, overcrowding or alignment issues are all great candidates for Invisalign treatment. For more intricate orthodontic procedures, we would not recommend Invisalign, however there is Invisalign Go which caters to all 12 of the front teeth.

How long is the treatment?

This really comes down to an individual, case by case situation. In some cases, aligners may be required to be worn 20-22 hours of the day and this can last up to 6 months, in other cases the times can be a lot less.

How many appointments are there?

Every 4 to 6 weeks.

Is it painful?

In comparison to metal braces, Invisalign is very manageable, although you might experience some tenderness at the beginning, for the most part Invisalign aligners are fine to wear.

How about eating and drinking?

Very simple, you just take them out when you need to eat and drink and make sure to clean your teeth before placing aligners back in your mouth.

How about my speech?

There might be some adjustment period at the beginning but generally people get used to their aligners within a day or so.

Can aligners fall out?

No, Invisalign aligners are custom built to your mouth so they won’t accidentally fall out when you’re speaking.

Can I go to any dentist for this treatment?

Your dentist must have finished their Invisalign Go training before beginning treatment.
