The 10 Hidden Benefits of Invisalign

You Didn't Know About

by Quyen Dang, D.D.S.

A straight smile is a confident smile. For over 20 years now, Invisalign® has become an increasingly popular way to achieve the smile of your dreams. You know that Invisalign® delivers straighter teeth in a more unobtrusive way than traditional braces. But did you know about these 10 benefits of Invisalign®?

1. The treatment is unique to you.
Every set of Invisalign® aligners is specifically customized to your individual needs. And since no two smiles are the same, no two aligners are the same. Your aligners are unique to your particular bite!
2. There’s no guesswork to the final result!
During your initial appointment, a 3D scan will be captured of your teeth as they are currently. Software then creates special visualizations of your changing smile throughout the process—and at the end. You’ll be able to see what your teeth will look like even on day one!
3. Invisalign® aligners are strong. Worried about breaking an aligner? Don’t be. Invisalign® aligners are made from a special material, and they’re designed to hold up to daily use. They’re also free from latex
and chemicals such as BPA – meaning that you can feel safe and confident wearing them.
4. Invisalign® is comfortable.
One of the cons of traditional braces is that the brackets and wires can rub against your gums and mouth. Invisalign® aligners are much gentler on your mouth, allowing you to straighten your teeth with minimal discomfort.
5. There are no dietary restrictions.
Traditional braces are applied directly to your teeth, and often come with a reminder not to consume sticky, chewy or potentially staining food or drink. With Invisalign® aligners, you can maintain your usual diet with very little if any dietary restrictions.
6. Brushing and flossing is easy.
You can still brush and floss while wearing traditional braces, but maintaining a good dental hygiene routine requires extra attention. One of the dental health benefits of Invisalign® aligners is that they’re removable, meaning that you can brush and floss as usual.
7. Check-up visits are quick! If you have a busy schedule, Invisalign® is a great
choice. One of the top benefits of Invisalign® is that office visits are quick, easy, and less frequent than traditional braces.
8. You can have Invisalign® after braces.
If you had braces as a teenager but your teeth have moved, good news: Invisalign® can help restore your smile. In many cases, you can even switch to Invisalign® if you’re currently undergoing treatment with traditional braces.
9. Results happen fast!
With traditional braces, it can be hard to see past the brackets and wires to assess how your smile is changing. With Invisalign®, you can see the improvements to your bite with each set of aligners.
10. There’s no age limit to Invisalign®.
If you’ve always wanted straighter teeth, but braces aren’t the right fit for your professional job, Invisalign® is a great, unobtrusive option. Your clear, custom-fitted aligners will straighten your teeth without anyone knowing!
