You may still have a few questions before starting treatment, and we’ve answered quite a few questions in our day. 

Thankfully, to make your visit all the more smooth, we have answers to the most common questions down below.

Can I Eat or Drink While Wearing Invisalign®?

You should remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water. This prevents staining and keeps your trays clear and odor-free.

Will Invisalign® Affect My Speech?

When it comes to Invisalign, you’re probably wondering if it will impact your speech in any way. Well, the good news is that it usually doesn’t have a lasting impact. Some patients notice a slight lisp during the first few days as their mouth adjusts, but this typically goes away quickly with regular wear.

Is Invisalign® Painful?

Perhaps the most important question of them all: is Invisalign painful? Well, most of our patients describe Invisalign® as comfortable. You may feel mild pressure when switching to a new set of aligners, which is a sign they’re working, but you shouldn’t have to worry about any intense pain, and if you do, you may want to come into our Livingston office.

Can I Whiten My Teeth During Invisalign® Treatment?

We all want a sparkly white smile, right? So, you may be wondering if you can whiten your teeth. Well, the good news is that, yes, since aligners are removable, you can use whitening toothpaste or whitening trays in coordination with your dentist’s guidance.
