Yes, you remove your Invisalign aligners before eating and drinking anything other than water. This means there are no food restrictions, unlike fixed braces. You should wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day.

How do I find a good Invisalign provider?

Look for a GDC registered dentist with Invisalign certification (ideally Gold or Platinum provider status), strong patient reviews, transparent pricing, and before and after examples. Pearlie matches you with verified Invisalign providers based on your location and needs, free of charge.

Is Invisalign suitable for adults?

Absolutely. Invisalign is very popular with adults because the aligners are virtually invisible. It can treat a wide range of alignment issues including crowding, spacing, overbite, underbite, and crossbite. There is no age limit for Invisalign.

What happens after Invisalign treatment?

After completing your Invisalign treatment, you will need to wear retainers to maintain your results. Most dentists recommend a fixed bonded retainer behind the teeth and/or removable retainers worn at night. Without retainers, teeth can gradually shift back.
