Invisalign moves your teeth into straight and desirable positions, but it can also slightly change the position of your jaw. This is a good thing! Sometimes your jaw needs a little adjusting.
Remember, your dentist in Kalaheo evaluates your case and calculates jawbone shifting (and all the details) before approving you for treatment.
Invisalign® in Kauai: How the System Works
Invisalign relies on a sequence of clear tooth aligners worn over the teeth. You wear each aligner tray for about two weeks before moving on to the next.
For proper alignment and a predictable outcome, it is essential to follow all treatment instructions and wear your aligners for at least 22 hours daily. You can remove them when eating and cleaning your teeth, so there are no food restrictions.
Most patients wear their Invisalign aligners for 18 months. However, the treatment timeline depends on the complexity of your orthodontic issues. In some cases, treatment time will be longer or shorter.
After treatment, your dentist provides a retainer to help maintain your results, including the new jaw position.
