Treatments
Invisalign Go is a comfortable and almost unnoticeable method of straightening your teeth. They are designed to fit your lifestyle rather than disrupt it, whether you’re busy with work, school or travel. Invisalign Go works within a shorter period of time and at less cost compared to traditional Invisalign, making them a great option for those looking to straighten their smile.
What is the difference between Invisalign Go and traditional braces?
Invisalign Go uses clear aligners to straighten your teeth, whereas traditional braces use metal wires and brackets. Not only is Invisalign Go more comfortable, it is also more aesthetically pleasing for those who are image-conscious. Invisalign Go also requires less dental visits compared to traditional braces.
What is the difference between Invisalign Go and the original Invisalign system?
Invisalign Go treatment time can be as short as 3-6 months, whereas the original Invisalign treatment time may require 2-3 years. Invisalign Go is also a lower-cost option. Generally, Invisalign Go is more suitable for those with milder orthodontic concerns, however, this can be assessed during your consultation.
What is Invisalign Go Plus?
Invisalign Go Plus is the latest addition to the Invisalign family and allows us to treat more complicated cases than Invisalign Go is capable of, meaning more people are eligible for Invisalign than ever before instead of traditional braces. Invisalign Go Plus offers a 26-stage treatment option to correct teeth up to, and including, the first molar, over a period of approximately 6 to 12 months.
Invisalign Go FAQs
Dr Jennifer Collins and Dr Chris Ford offer Invisalign Go at Northumberland Dental Care. Below, they have answered some of your frequently asked questions about Invisalign Go:
Most people will feel a small bit of discomfort in the first few days of each new set of Invisalign Go aligners. This is good because you want to feel a bit of tightness from the aligners, as this means the aligners are doing what they are supposed to do: move your teeth to the desired position.
As each patient is different, treatment times vary depending on your particular situation. Your Invisalign Go treatment plan is customised to you and your teeth. Some Invisalign Go treatment times can be as short as 3-6 months.
It is recommended that patients wear their Invisalign Go clear aligners for at least 20-22 hours a day. The aligners should only be removed for eating, brushing or flossing purposes.
Of course! The advantages of removable clear aligners are that it works around your lifestyle rather than disrupting it. As long as you remove your Invisalign Go aligners before you eat and drink, you can continue to enjoy all the good things in life. However, to prevent bad breath and poor hygiene, it is advisable to brush and floss your teeth after every meal before reinserting your clear aligners.
This can vary depending on your case. Usually, Invisalign Go patients only need to be seen roughly once every 6 to 8 weeks. These appointments are to help track your progress and to ensure that your treatment is going according to plan.
At the beginning of your Invisalign Go treatment, you might experience some difficulties pronouncing “s” and “z”. This typically only lasts a few days before you get used to the aligners.
After previous orthodontic treatments, you may find that your teeth have relapsed over time after the removal of your braces. In this case, Invisalign Go is the perfect solution for you to realign your teeth without the need to put traditional metal braces back on.
