Have some questions about Invisalign Glasgow? Here, we answer the top five FAQs about this orthodontic appliance. Enjoy!

How does it work?

Invisalign Glasgow uses a series of clear, plastic trays to push your teeth into their desired positions.

Changing your tray about every fourteen days, your new trays may feel tight, but this is to be expected and is part of the process. Invisible braces do not use metal or tightening and so, there should be no discomfort throughout the course of your treatment.

How long will I need it for?

This is difficult to answer, as the time you will wear this invisible brace depends on multiple factors.

The complexity of your orthodontic issue will impact on how long you wear it for; if our team is attempting to close a gap, straighten some protrusions and bring all your teeth into line, then this will take longer. You may be pleased to hear that on average, treatment with this brand of invisible brace lasts about six months, but may take up to nine months.

Will it create issues with eating?

As this brace is removable, many patients worry that it will impact on their eating.

Luckily, all you have to do is remove the trays, and replace them once you’ve finished eating. The same rule applies for brushing your teeth.

I’ve heard this brace is more expensive than traditional ones – is this true?

In a word, no.

Invisible braces may seem more pricey initially, but as with most braces, their cost is based on how long you wear them for.

Just like traditional metal braces, if you require them for longer than average, they will be more expensive. Comparing average costs, invisible braces are about the same price as metal ones.

Will there be aftercare?

Yes, there will.

Once you have finished treatment with this brace, our team will give you a custom-fitted retainer to wear.

This will prevent your teeth from moving back to their previous positions.
