Virtually invisible. Probably the biggest benefit of Invisalign is the feature behind the name, the fact that this treatment system is essentially invisible. The clear aligners fit snugly over the teeth so that most people will not even notice them. They do not affect your speech or your appearance. You are free to go through your days without the metallic look of traditional braces. Your smile doesn’t have to look worse in order to eventually look better. 2. Convenient. Invisalign clear aligners are removable for eating and dental care. You don’t have to worry about what you eat or whether or not food is getting stuck in your braces. Your aligners are easy to clean and care for with no special instructions for brushing. No need to go through the tedious process of threading your floss underneath your archwire to get between every tooth. You wear your aligners for at least 22 hours per day according to the instructions your dentist gives you, and otherwise forget about them. 3. Comfortable. The flexible, smooth plastic of Invisalign aligners is surprisingly comfortable. No sore spots from sharp brackets that rub against the inside of your lips and cheeks. Invisalign moves your teeth more gradually than traditional braces, eliminating the pain of shifting teeth. 4. Technologically advanced. Invisalign uses computer software to take images of the teeth, and create a customized plan to move your teeth into the correct positions. The complete set of aligners for the entire duration of the treatment will be created at the beginning. Invisalign can correct the same orthodontic issues that traditional braces do from incorrect bite patterns to misaligned teeth. 5. Available through your dental office. One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is that you don’t have to see an orthodontist to receive the treatment. Our dental office offers Invisalign because the technology eliminates the need for a specialist. You can continue to visit the same office you are accustomed to and even combine routine dental cleanings with monitoring appointments for your Invisalign progress.
