Question: Why choose Invisalign?
Invisalign is the most technically advanced orthodontic system in Panama and the rest of the world around. Through a series of aligners, it creates small forces that can push, move and rotate teeth to the desired position.
Most people have crowding that extends to the back of the dental arch, so using Invisalign we still carry out full arch orthodontics but with a more convenient method than metal braces.

Question: How does Invisalign work?
Computer scanning technology maps a 3D image of your teeth from which the Invisalign aligners are made. These custom fit aligners progressively straighten your teeth, ready for the next aligner in the sequence, and are changed every two weeks. As treatment progresses the teeth move into the desired position.
Treatment length will vary depending on your individual case but the average Invisalign treatment takes between 12 to 18 months.
Question: Is Invisalign quicker than conventional metal braces?
Invisalign usually takes less time to straighten teeth than conventional metal braces. This is because, in most cases, metal braces require tooth extractions, which prolongs the treatment as braces cannot be fitted until the gum have healed. With Invisalign there are no tooth extractions required and therefore treatment can commence immediately.
Question: Does Invisalign hurt?
There is no severe pain with Invisalign as aligners are smooth and have no sharp or metal edges that can cause pain. Some patients experience a temporary discomfort or tightness for a few days at the beginning of each stage of treatment i.e. when a new aligner is worn. This is completely normal and lasts no longer than 48 hours. It’s also a sign that your aligners are working in repositioning your teeth to the desired position.
Q: Will Invisalign affect my Speech?
Much in the same way as any other orthodontic treatment, aligners may affect the speech and may cause a slight lisp in some people. These affects are very temporary and after one or two days your mouth and tongue will become accustomed to the aligners and therefore all affects will disappear.
Q: Can I eat and drink with Invisalign?
Aligners are removable, so you can eat whatever you want throughout your treatment, without any restrictions or discomfort. For drinking you can leave aligners in, therefore you can continue to enjoy tea, coffee or even red wine throughout your entire treatment; but to maintain healthy teeth and gums you should avoid too many sugary drinks.
Q: Can Invisalign give me wider smile?
Yes; Invisalign can expand the dental arches at the sides of the mouth so that you show more teeth when you smile.
Q: Is Invisalign better than Veneers?
Yes, Invisalign is a much healthier way to straighten teeth as your own teeth are moved into the desired position without damaging them. Whereas with veneers, your natural, healthy teeth are cut down by up to 30% stripping away the enamel in order to allow a porcelain veneer to be fitted over the remaining tooth.
Question: Do I wear my aligners at night?
For best results you are advised to wear your aligners all the time, only removing them to eat, brush or floss or the occasional social event.
Question: Will I need more regular dental visits?
No metal wires or brackets means fewer visits to the dentist, as less adjustments are needed.
