Invisalign Benefits!

Invisalign is essentially clear aligners that allow you to achieve a smile that you want.  But, are they better than traditional braces, or even lingual braces? Well, here are the benefits of Invisalign, and what they can do for you.

Most cases can be treated via Invisalign, and it’s quite nice since it can make the treatment faster and better. Usually, depending on what you need, you get anywhere between 10-40 clear aligners, which you change once a week, and you’ll be able to gradually and very discreetly straighten your teeth and from there, you’ll be able to get this done in fewer appointments when compared to braces.

Invisalign allows for better maintenance and hygiene, in that you simply pop them out when you brush, and you can get all of the surfaces. With braces, you may get cavities, and it’s frustrating, especially after treatment.  You can also use these aligners without having to eat a special diet, whereas braces do otherwise.

They are also transparent, meaning they are invisible, and you can talk and smile without having to worry about brackets or wires in the mouth. They are also great for most lifestyles, especially if you travel quite a bit, deal with people are in college so you can’t go to appointments all the time, or whatever. You can keep multiple trays for each change at home, and you can simply, once you finish the last tray, wear it and then you can come back for your next appointment.

You can use this on kids as young as 7 or 8, and after the consultation, you can create a treatment plan based on each case.

Plus, no goopy or awkward impressions! With the advent of 3D impressions, they will map out the mouth before treatment. it’s more comfortable for you, and it’s much faster and less of a mess.  No more goopy and awkward impressions for you anymore!

Finally, they save you so much time.  You won’t have to come back each time to get trays, but instead, you get anywhere between 3-6 trays a visit, so you will be able to visit the clinic every month and a half, which isn’t that long of a wait. 

The most significant difference that Invisalign has compared to other aligners is that Invisalign allows for clear attachments that make precise movements. The clear trays have ridges that push the teeth in a more efficient manner. The trays also have features that other brands don’t, and you’ll have more control over the movement in many cases, and it can even be used in bite cases.

Remember at the end of the day that this is a medical procedure, and with any decision involving your health, you want someone who is a medical professional overseeing this in order to make sure that you get the most effective treatment. You won’t get that from other aligner companies, and it’s something you should always keep in mind when choosing the way to straighten teeth.
