Is getting Invisalign on your short list of New Year’s resolutions? Smart choice. If you need to convince yourself that pursuing orthodontics is the right move, read through these simple but powerful reasons to make clear braces your focused intention for the upcoming months.
1. Discreet treatment.
When you want to straighten your smile but not reveal to anyone what you’re up to, Invisalign plays the game along with you. The trays are clear and thin and fit snugly against your teeth to move them and remain secretive about your orthodontic treatment. You can speak and smile without concern.
2. Fast tooth movement.
Start your Invisalign treatment in January and by this time next year your smile will be straighter and healthier than it’s ever been. Most Invisalign cases take about 12 months to complete, but some patients need less time to tweak twisted or crooked teeth above and below the gumline while others need a little more time to correct bigger alignment issues. Either way, you’ll see results quickly.
3. Just right for adults.
Adults are busy and when you take the time to invest in yourself, you don’t want anything to get in the way of your dozens of other obligations. Invisalign plays it cool and lives in the background, not interrupting your work life, social life, or personal life. The flexibility of aligners, though they do need to be worn 20 to 22 hours a day, is that you can remove them as needed to get done what you need to.
4. Great for many teens too.
Adolescents are excellent candidates for Invisalign Teen. This treatment requires them to be conscientious and careful as they take care of their teeth, and most are motivated because the alternative to discreet trays is obvious metal mouth. Parents don’t have to worry about success because Invisalign trays come equipped with wear indicators to show whether they’re observing the rules.
5. No food restrictions.
Braces wearers get used to the brackets and wires on their teeth quickly, but one thing they sometimes wish during treatment is the freedom to eat whatever they want. When you are sporting Invisalign, you can indulge in any food, crunchy or chewy, as long as your tender teeth and gums can handle it.
6. Easy to clean.
Because Invisalign trays are removable, you can brush and floss your teeth as always without any special tools. The only extra work you need to do is clean your aligners so they stay clear, fresh, and unobtrusive. Ideally, these cleanings will occur a few times a day, not just first thing in the morning or before bed.
7. Confidence will rise.
Your teeth are powerful, and if you’re embarrassed by any part of them putting your smile straight will transform your confidence almost immediately. Invisalign lets you change part of yourself quickly and easily, perfect your smile tray after tray until your teeth are completely aligned, and make you feel like the very best version of yourself.
