Have questions? (FAQs)

Invisalign vs braces: What’s the difference?

Invisalign uses clear plastic trays that are virtually invisible and removable, while traditional braces use metal brackets and wires fixed to your teeth. Invisalign offers greater comfort and flexibility—you can take the aligners out to eat, brush, and floss. Braces may be better for complex cases, but many patients in Netcong prefer Invisalign for its convenience and aesthetics.

How long does Invisalign take?

The average Invisalign treatment takes 6 to 18 months, depending on the complexity of your case. You’ll wear a new set of aligners every 1 to 2 weeks, and we’ll check your progress regularly. During your consultation at our Netcong dental office, we’ll give you a personalized timeline based on your smile goals.

Do Invisalign trays hurt?

Invisalign trays may cause mild discomfort or pressure when you switch to a new set of aligners—this is a sign your teeth are moving. Most patients describe it as a tight feeling that fades after a few days. Invisalign is typically more comfortable than metal braces, with no wires or brackets to irritate your mouth.

Can you eat with Invisalign?

You should remove your Invisalign aligners when eating or drinking anything other than water. Eating with them in can damage the trays and cause staining. The good news is that unlike braces, there are no food restrictions with Invisalign—just take them out before meals and pop them back in after brushing.
