Your dentist discusses expectations with you before you begin treatment. It’s generally recommended for optimal results that you wear your Invisalign for 20-22 hours a day.
The length of the process generally depends on your age and the severity of your case. It varies for teens, but adults can generally expect treatment to take about 12 months. Most patients will come back every 4-6 weeks for a new set of aligners for the duration of their treatment.
Here at Creating Smiles Dental, we also offer advanced Invisalign techniques, such as VPRO and MOP's.
VPRO is a device that you put onto your teeth that vibrates at a very high frequency and works with your own biology to speed up the movement of your teeth. Pain-free and only used for a couple of minutes a day, using a VPRO device is a surefire way to speed up your Invisalign treatment!
Additionally, we offer MOPs or Micro Osteo Perforation. When using the MOP's technique, we place small dimples in your gums that cause micro-fractures in your teeth, speeding up the movement of each tooth! Just like the VPRO, this procedure is quick and painless!
