FAQ
Can Invisalign fix severe cases?
Invisalign has become very advanced and can treat many complex cases. Very severe malocclusions may still require traditional braces.
How many hours a day should I wear Invisalign?
Aligners should be worn 20-22 hours per day, removed only for eating, drinking (except water), and brushing.
Can gaps between teeth close on their own?
In children, some gaps close naturally as permanent teeth erupt. Adult gaps require treatment.
What is the fastest way to close tooth gaps?
Dental bonding or veneers provide the fastest cosmetic fix. Aligners take longer but move teeth permanently.
