Invisalign Clear Aligners Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean my aligners?
Rinse with warm water and use a soft toothbrush. Avoid toothpaste or colored soap, which can cause buildup or staining.
Can I smoke while wearing aligners?
No. Smoking can discolor and warp the plastic, making your aligners more visible and less effective.
Will clear aligners affect my speech?
A slight lisp is common at first, but most patients adjust quickly within a few days.
How long should I wear them each day?
You should wear your aligners for 20–22 hours daily for the best results.
Can I drink hot beverages with aligners in?
No. Heat can warp the plastic. Always remove your aligners before consuming hot drinks.
How long do I keep them out each day?
Only remove them when eating, drinking anything other than water, or brushing your teeth.
What if I lose an aligner?
Contact our office immediately. We’ll advise whether to move on to the next aligner or replace the lost one.
How long does treatment take?
Most treatments take between 9–15 months, depending on the complexity of your case.
