WHAT DOES INVISALIGN TREATMENT ENTAIL?
When it comes to straightening teeth, dentists and orthodontists all around the world recommend Invisalign®, a product owned by Align Technology.
Straightening crooked, crowded, or spaced teeth is only one of the many orthodontic issues it can address with its custom-made, virtually undetectable plastic aligners. Over the course of therapy, the teeth and jaws are gradually moved into proper position using a series of custom-made, clear acrylic aligners. These retainers are made of clear plastic and fit securely over the teeth, earning them the nickname “invisible braces” because they are discreet to the naked eye.
The aligners are not only unnoticeable but also detachable, allowing you to enjoy all of your favourite foods and beverages while undergoing treatment. The process of oral hygiene (brushing and flossing), is simplified as a result. According to Vilafortuny Dubai’s creator, Dr. Kathrin Trelles, the system’s versatility makes it possible to treat both the front and back teeth of teenagers and adults.
A digital treatment plan outlining the exact, gradual movements of your teeth will be produced by our orthodontist and Invisalign-trained dentists. Invisalign is a series of aligners that are delivered to you every few months; each set needs to be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day for the optimum results.
WHAT TO EXPECT
You may have thought about the mechanics of how Invisalign moves teeth.
With Invisalign®, a patient’s teeth are gradually and discretely realigned using a series of aligners designed specifically for them. The aligners work by gently and gradually moving teeth into place. There are no metal brackets to attach to the teeth or wires to tighten on regular basis, both of which are common sources of pain and discomfort for majority of patients. Instead, Invisalign aligners have a minimal discomfort. Our patients rarely complain about wearing them for the full 20–22 hours per day that is suggested.
Each clear aligner is part of a set, and it is recommended to wear a new aligner about once every two weeks. The length of time it takes to straighten your teeth using Invisalign will depend on how much adjustment each individual patient needs.
Should you get Invisalign or conventional braces?
Invisalign has helped over 12 million people all around the world to improve the appearance of their smiles.
With its ability to treat mild to moderate crowding, Invisalign is a viable alternative for patients who are hesitant to make the long-term commitment required by traditional metal braces. Find out if Invisalign treatment is right for you with a consultation.
How long is Invisalign therapy?
Your treatment’s outcome will be determined by a number of variables, including the nature of your condition and how long you need to be in treatment. To treat an underbite, for instance, we need to guide the jaws and adjust the way the lower and upper teeth touch.
Treatment with Invisalign typically lasts between 12 and 18 months, but individuals see improvements even in few weeks.

How long will Invisalign treatment take?
The timeline for your Invisalign journey depends on the degree of misalignment in your teeth.

On average, Invisalign treatment takes anywhere from 6 to 18 months. The exciting part? Many patients start noticing visible improvements in their smiles within a matter of weeks.

Invisalign is a versatile option for patients with mild to moderate crowding and misalignment. Over 14 million people worldwide have achieved dazzling smiles through Invisalign.

What sets Invisalign apart from traditional braces?
Invisalign stands at the forefront of orthodontic treatment, offering a clear aligner system unlike any other. Backed by over two decades of groundbreaking innovation and millions of successful cases, Invisalign boasts several advantages. The cutting-edge SmartTrack material used in Invisalign aligners is designed to move teeth predictably and efficiently, potentially achieving results up to 50% faster than traditional braces. Additionally, the clear and removable nature of Invisalign makes them a more discreet and comfortable option compared to metal braces.
What types of orthodontic issues can Invisalign address?
Invisalign’s versatility allows it to tackle a broad range of orthodontic concerns. From simple teeth straightening to more complex issues like overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, gapped teeth, and crowded teeth, Invisalign offers a potential solution.
Can I still use Invisalign if I had braces before?
Absolutely! Invisalign is a fantastic option for correcting relapse in patients who have undergone previous orthodontic treatment. If you’re noticing teeth shifting due to insufficient retainer use, Invisalign can effectively refine your smile and restore its brilliance.
How do I keep my Invisalign aligners in tip-top shape?
Proper care of your Invisalign aligners is essential for optimal results. The best way to clean them is to brush and rinse them with lukewarm water, using the special cleaning tablets provided by Vilafortuny Dubai. Remember to brush your teeth thoroughly after every meal before reinserting your aligners to maintain optimal oral hygiene.
What happens after I finish my Invisalign treatment?
Our team of specialists at Vilafortuny Dubai highly recommends using retainers after completing Invisalign treatment, regardless of whether you previously had braces or aligners. Retainers help prevent your teeth from gradually shifting back to their original positions, ensuring you maintain your beautiful, healthy smile for years to come.
