When it comes to your smile, today’s cosmetic dentistry options truly work in your favor. It’s not only more accessible than ever with modern technology and advances in dentistry, but more affordable, too. And when it comes to straightening your smile, orthodontic appliances such as Invisalign aligners help you do it much more low-key.

Invisalign – Align Your Smile Almost Invisibly

Traditional braces are very effective, but they are also very noticeable. Invisalign aligners, on the other hand, are clear, transparent and they fit snugly over the arches of your teeth. No wires, no brackets, no metal. This treatment is becoming the most popular teeth straightening option.

Benefits of Invisalign

While Invisalign straightens your teeth just like metal braces do, it does not require hours in the dentist chair for adjustments.

Invisalign aligners are tailored to your smile plan to gradually move your teeth into a the optimal position. You will have periodic checkups with your Invisalign dentist, but you’ll have sets of aligners to change every few weeks for the duration of your treatment plan, that varies between cases and depends on the extent of movement required to achieve a perfectly straight smile.

The aligners are easily removable, therefore you are not restricted to the type of food you can eat. Patients who wear wire braces constantly complain of food being trapped between the wire, a the struggles of removing it.

*Of course, the more you take them off, the less they’ll be effective, so it’s recommended you wear them for at least 22 hours per day.

Invisalign are not right for every smile. The best way to find out if they are a good option for you to improve the symmetry of your smile is to meet with a local Invisalign dentist for a consultation.
