Straightening Teeth with Discretion and Efficiency
Maybe you wore braces as an adolescent and forgot to wear your retainer? Or perhaps you never had orthodontic treatment and your teeth have shifted over time? Whatever the case may be, living with crooked teeth is embarrassing. It’s probably always at the back of your mind, and it may cause you to hide your smile when you interact with other people.
If the idea of wearing braces seems even more unappealing than living with crooked teeth, you’re not alone! That’s why many adults are turning to Invisalign to straighten their teeth efficiently and with discretion.
Invisalign Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners instead of traditional brackets and wires. The aligners are comfortable and easy to wear and they don’t disrupt your normal daily activities. You will achieve your desired results when you wear them at least 22 hours per day. You will receive a new set of aligners every two weeks that are designed to progress your treatment, and you can easily change them out at home.
What Are the Benefits of Choosing Invisalign?
Besides the discretion it provides, Invisalign offers many other benefits for patients. Most cases can be completed in 10 to 18 months, so it’s a very efficient choice that won’t keep you in treatment for years. Invisalign doesn’t require as many visits with your dentist since you can change your aligners at home. You’ll only need to check in every few weeks to ensure your treatment is progressing as planned. This is ideal for professional adults with hectic schedules. Aligners are comfortable and easy to wear. You won’t have difficulties keeping your teeth clean since you won’t have to brush and floss around brackets and wires. You also won’t have to endure the discomfort that pokey brackets and wire can cause. Best of all, since aligners are removable, you don’t have to make any changes to your diet. You’ll be able to enjoy the foods you love throughout your treatment with Invisalign.
