Invisalign® For A Healthier Smile
It’s not all about aesthetics. Straight teeth look healthier because they are healthier. Properly aligned teeth contribute to better oral hygiene. Your hygiene routine is more effective and easier to maintain without gaps or crowding. How can you achieve straighter teeth? With Invisalign® clear aligners for adults, teens, and kids.
What is Invisalign
Have you heard of clear braces? Invisalign is the leading brand of clear braces. Basically, instead of conventional wires and brackets, Invisalign uses custom-formed, clear plastic trays to shift your teeth into alignment. You just snap the trays on, wear them day and night, and snap on a new set about every 10 days (or as often as your dentist recommends) until your teeth are straight. It’s so easy! You remove the trays for eating and drinking and when you need to brush and floss. The trays are barely noticeable when you’re wearing them, so they don’t drastically change your appearance.
Benefits of Invisalign
If you’ve had braces as a teen or you know someone who did, you know that the hardware can be uncomfortable and is quite noticeable. Invisalign is the opposite. The clear trays are:
- Virtually invisible,
- Easy to snap in and out,
- Smooth and comfortable, and
- Excellent for maintaining oral hygiene.
Braces are still highly effective but often require a longer treatment time and are more challenging to keep clean. Since Invisalign clear aligners are removable, there is nothing to work around when you’re brushing and flossing. You simply take the trays out, brush, floss, rinse, and put the trays back in.
Who Should Ask About Invisalign?
Anyone with any degree of misalignment may benefit from Invisalign clear aligners. We use Invisalign to treat patients of all ages with crowding, gaps, overbite, and underbite. Invisalign is an excellent option for adults who never had braces before or did but now see their teeth have shifted out of alignment. Clear aligners are great for teens, especially because they can track their progress with the Invisalign app. Some younger children may also benefit from Invisalign if a responsible adult can help them stick to the treatment regimen.
