The Benefits of Invisalign

A smile is one of the first things people notice upon meeting someone which is why a great smile is so important and if you aren't satisfied with your smile, your self-esteem could be affected.

Many people face some sort of dental issue, such as crooked or overcrowded teeth and thanks to modern science, it is now a lot easier than ever to fix these problems. But how do you know which treatment will work best to straighten your teeth? Follow along to find out why Invisalign might be right for you.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign, short for invisible aligners, is a type of corrective treatment that has quickly transformed the world of orthodontics. It helps shift your teeth into the proper position without the use of conventional metal braces.

Invisalign involves wearing a series of custom-made aligners that are fitted specifically for your mouth. These clear plastic aligners will be changed usually bi-weekly and must be checked regularly throughout the duration of your treatment.

Who Can Benefit From Invisalign?

Anyone who needs orthodontic treatment can benefit from Invisalign. These include people who have teeth that are misaligned, crooked, overcrowded, or spaced too far apart.

Invisalign is also known to be a perfect solution for an open bite, closed bite, crossbite, if both your upper and lower teeth don’t fit together, or if your jaws don’t meet properly.

Why Choose Invisalign?

There are many good reasons why you should consider Invisalign to straighten your teeth instead of opting for traditional braces including:

• More Comfortable. Since there are no wires or brackets that can scrape your gums or cut your mouth, Invisalign is much more physically comfortable to use. The plastic aligners are like mouthguards that lack any sharp edges and will not hurt your mouth.

• More Convenient. Invisalign has revolutionized the orthodontic world. Since it has become the norm as a corrective treatment, they are now readily accessible on a widespread scale. Besides, unlike traditional braces, invisible aligners can be removed when you have to eat and brush your teeth so it has fewer food restrictions and allows you to maintain better oral hygiene.

• More Attractive. As mentioned, Invisalign is made of clear plastic aligners meaning that you won’t have to feel awkward since they are practically invisible. Invisalign lets you smile without having to feel self-conscious. Remember that having a confident smile helps boost your self-esteem which contributes to your overall happiness.

• Fewer Limits. With Invisalign, you have more freedom to play sports without worrying about mouth injuries. Having the option to remove your aligners allows you to continue with your day-to-day activities as normal including playing musical instruments without having to worry that the brackets will cause you any discomfort.

• Easier to Maintain. Invisible aligners also require minimal maintenance. They eventually get dingy when you use them, but you can easily clean them up. Just use a toothbrush dipped in a small amount of soap and water or let them soak in a dental solution overnight. Get rid of the stains by scrubbing them for a minute every other day.
