Why Patients Prefer Invisalign
Invisalign® clear aligners have undoubtedly revolutionized the way we straighten teeth. Gone are the days when patients only had the option of metal braces when orthodontic treatment was needed. Now, we can bring your teeth into beautiful alignment using virtually invisible clear aligner trays. Invisalign trays are not only just as effective as traditional braces, but they are removable too!
The Invisalign Advantage
Invisalign is a series of custom-made clear aligner trays that gently move the teeth into better position over time. You’ll change out these transparent plastic aligners every 2-3 weeks until your final smile goals are achieved. In general, Invisalign can be used for a wide menu of orthodontic issues, including gaps, crowding, underbites, overbites and crossbites.
The differences between Invisalign and traditional metal braces is what makes this orthodontic system an unrivaled preference for teens and adults.
Removable: Unlike braces, Invisalign doesn’t force you to change what (or how) you eat. Just snap your aligners out of your mouth during mealtime and enjoy the foods and drinks that you always have. You’ll also be able to remove Invisalign for brushing and flossing, which means a much lower chance of puffy gums and stained teeth when your treatment is complete. Keep in mind that the Invisalign system works best when your aligners are in place 20-22 hours per day!
Less Office Visits: Patients can progress through much of their Invisalign treatment on their own by changing out their aligners to the next set in the sequence. This means that, unlike braces, you don’t have to schedule an orthodontist appointment to have tightening adjustments. Enjoy fewer dental visits through the course of your teeth straightening months.
Virtually Invisible: The highlighted advantage of Invisalign is the self-confidence patients can retain during treatment. With these transparent aligners, it will be difficult for others to notice you are undergoing orthodontic treatment at all.
