Do you have misaligned or crooked teeth but don’t want to go through the hassle of getting unsightly metal braces? Invisalign® might be the perfect solution for you to get the smile of your dreams without any noticing! Here, we’ll explain the benefits of getting Invisalign.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign clear aligners are perfect for people with gapped or crowded teeth, underbites, crossbites, overbites, or underbites. This treatment uses a series of personalized trays to push your teeth into a straighter position. Every couple of weeks, you’ll replace your trays with another set to further shift your teeth. Typically, Invisalign takes 12 to 18 months.
Invisalign vs. Metal Braces
- Almost Invisible
- Trays Are Completely Removable
The Invisalign trays are conveniently removable. Unlike traditional braces, which are permanent until removed by an orthodontist, you take out the plastic Invisalign trays when you eat and brush your teeth so they won’t impede your oral care habits. You can also remove them for special events like a wedding, family photo, interview, or date.
- More Comfortable
- Fewer Follow-Up Appointments
One of the best things about Invisalign is that it’s nearly invisible! Invisalign uses clear plastic trays to move your teeth into correct alignment so most people won’t even be able to notice that you’re wearing them. This orthodontic treatment eliminates all the embarrassment of having clunky metal braces, which are instantly noticeable with their brackets and wires. Invisalign straightens your teeth while allowing you to maintain your confidence.
Traditional braces are made of metal brackets and wire that may irritate the insides of your mouth, while Invisalign trays are made of a smooth plastic that is gentle on your mouth. Moreover, the aligners in Invisalign push your teeth into place which creates less pain and aching in your teeth and jaw than the pulling of traditional braces.
With Invisalign, you don’t have to come in as frequently as you would with traditional braces. You would only need to visit our office to get your new trays, make sure that your teeth are being moved in the proper alignment, and receive your biannual cleaning and checkup.
