They integrate into your day-to-day life without any limitations, as the aligners can be removed quickly and easily for eating and dental hygiene.

How are your Invisalign aligners fixed?
Your clear aligners will be fixed with specific attachments glued on your teeth with a composite resin. Strong and efficient, this allows to keep your attachments in place, even when removing and replacing your Invisalign aligners! They will stay in place without harming your natural tooth.
What if I lose an Invisalign attachment?
No worries, we got your back! If you lose one attachment, contact your Smile Designer and our team will find you an appointment to replace the attachment. Easy and convenient! You will not lose any time on your treatment.
How long should Invisalign be worn per day?
INTEGRA Smile recommend to wear your Invisalign clear aligners 20-22 hours per day, removing them only to eat and clean your teeth and aligners. This will guarantee the best results!
Are there any food restrictions with Invisalign?
The great benefit of Invisalign is that unlike a traditional orthodontics treatment, you have little to no food restrictions. The aligners can be removed to eat, meaning you can enjoy any type of food without to worry! You won’t have to avoid sticky or hard food; you can eat anything you want. You will just have to remove your tray beforehand.
Can I get Invisalign if I grind my teeth?
Invisalign® clear aligners are made with a technology called SmartTrack. Most of our patients who grind their teeth are allowed to wear the Invisalign aligners. Your Smile Designer at INTEGRA can help you understand better how to take care of your aligners. Even though grinding your teeth can wear down your aligners faster, this is not an issue as you usually have to wear them for two weeks or so.
How to I take care of my Invisalign aligners?
INTEGRA Smile recommend to clean your aligners each evening.
- Rinse your aligner with clear water
- Clean it gently with a soft-bristled brush to remove any debris or food particle
- Rinse thoroughly after brushing
- Store in a protective case whenever they are not in use
Our Smile designers also recommend to have a good oral hygiene and brushing your teeth after each meal to avoid food debris on your Invisalign aligners.
What happens after I finish my Invisalign treatment?
INTEGRA Smile follows and advise you from beginning to end. Once your treatment is done, your Smile Designer will do a check-up and advise you with the next steps.
