What is Invisalign
If you’re looking for a dental treatment that will give you visible and dramatic changes in your smile, you may be interested in Invisalign. Invisalign is a treatment that uses clear, custom-made braces to change your teeth’s alignment. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign allows you to straighten your teeth without anyone noticing.
Benefits of Invisalign over traditional braces
- Faster than braces. Produces results much faster than traditional braces.
- More predictable results. You are able to see the results of your teeth before you even begin the treatment.
- Easier to Clean. When using Invisalign, it’s easy to remove the aligner trays. Gently brush them with toothpaste and warm water before reinstalling them in your mouth.
- Fewer Office Visits. Metal braces require a dental office visit for tightening the rubber bands or wires. Invisalign gives you the freedom to enjoy activities while ensuring teeth repositioning and alignment progress. When starting the Invisalign treatment program, you receive aligner trays for the current phase and the several phases. Receiving the trays in advance allows you to move on to the next phase without another office visit.
- No Food Adjustments. Invisalign allows you to eat and drink whatever you want because the aligners are removable. This lessens the time to clean your teeth afterwards. But be sure to rinse your mouth and brush your teeth before reinstalling the aligners.
- Look Better. Orthodontic patients, especially adults, don’t want to stand out. Invisalign helps you hide your dental treatment because of the clear aligner trays. No one needs to know you’re wearing aligners unless you tell them.
