The basics

What is Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is a modern, discreet orthodontic treatment that uses custom-made, clear aligners to straighten your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign® aligners are removable and virtually invisible.

How does Invisalign® work?

Invisalign® aligners gently shift your teeth into their ideal positions over time. Every 2 weeks, you’ll switch to a new set of aligners, with progress monitored by our team.

What are the benefits of Invisalign® compared to braces?

  • Clear and discreet appearance•
  • Removable for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene
  • No dietary restrictions
  • Comfortable, with no metal brackets or wires

Beginning the process

How long does treatment take?

Treatment duration varies depending on individual needs. Most patients complete treatment within 6 to 18 months, but you’ll start seeing results within weeks.

How often do I need to wear my aligners?

For the best results, aligners should be worn 20–22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

Does Invisalign® hurt?

While you may feel slight pressure or discomfort when switching to a new set of aligners, this is temporary and a sign that your teeth are moving as planned.

Can I eat and drink with Invisalign®?

You must remove your aligners to eat or drink anything besides water. This prevents staining and damage to the aligners.

Practical advice

How do I care for my aligners?

Clean your aligners daily with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or Invisalign® cleaning crystals. Avoid hot water, as it can warp the aligners.

How much does Invisalign® cost?

The cost of Invisalign® depends on the complexity of your treatment. At LOC, we offer flexible payment plans to make Invisalign® affordable for everyone. Schedule a consultation to get a personalised quote.

Will I need to visit the clinic often?

Invisalign® requires fewer clinic visits than traditional braces. You’ll typically need a check-up every 6–8 weeks to monitor your progress and provide new aligners.

What happens after treatment?

After completing Invisalign®, you’ll wear a retainer to maintain your results and prevent teeth from shifting.
