More than 18 million teens and adults have chosen Invisalign to fix their bite and alignment problems. Clear aligners offer unmatched benefits when compared to traditional braces. You won’t have to worry about the restrictions of brackets or wires. Here are a few freedoms you’ll enjoy when investing in Invisalign.
Freedom to Smile Confidently
You won’t think twice before showing off your pearly whites because you don’t have to worry about unwanted attention drawn to your teeth. Invisalign doesn’t use wires or brackets to move your teeth. Instead, you’ll wear a series of clear plastic aligners, which are virtually undetectable while in your mouth.
Easy Oral Hygiene Routine
Effectively cleaning your teeth with metal braces is challenging, but your oral hygiene routine will remain virtually unchanged with Invisalign. You’ll brush and floss normally; however, you’ll need to take a few extra minutes to clean your aligners using a soft-bristle toothbrush and a clear hand soap or dishwashing liquid. You’ll also need to soak your aligners in a cleaning solution daily for 15-20 minutes.
Enjoy Your Favorite Foods
You won’t have to miss out on eating your favorite foods while on your orthodontic journey. Invisalign is removable, so there are no dietary restrictions. It’s best to only have water while wearing your aligners to prevent damage and stains.
Less Time in the Orthodontist’s Chair
Since Invisalign does not use wires or brackets, you won’t need appointments for adjustments. However, you’ll still need to check in with your orthodontist every few weeks, so they can monitor the progression of your treatment.
Convenient Treatment Plan
Treatment with Invisalign is easy. You must commit to wearing your aligners at least 22 hours per day. You’ll be instructed to switch to the next set of aligners in your series every 1-2 weeks.
Quicker Results
Every situation differs, but most patients are finished with Invisalign in about 12 to 18 months. You’ll enjoy quicker results than with metal braces. You can ensure there aren’t any delays in your treatment by committing to wearing your aligners long enough every day and switching them on time.
It is never too late to invest in the benefits of straight teeth. You’ll improve your oral health and boost your confidence when choosing the clear choice in orthodontics.
