Modern cosmetic dental treatments take patient comfort into account in a way that older technologies just weren’t capable of doing. One particular realm in which huge advances have been made is that of orthodontics for adults. In the past, adults seeking straighter teeth had no option other than metal braces. But adults shouldn’t have to live their busy, professional lives with mouths full of brackets and wires. It is for this reason that our providers believe Invisalign presents the ideal form of orthodontics for adults. This week’s blog post will discuss just why Invisalign is adult-oriented, and the effects Invisalign treatment will have on your adult life. If you’ve ever considered orthodontic treatment, read on to discover a very appealing alternative to metal braces.
Invisalign and Other Orthodontic Treatments’ Impacts on Adult Life
Invisalign is revolutionary in its effects on your life: there are almost no negative influences on your life during Invisalign treatment. Whereas braces demand that you alter your habits, diet, and oral hygiene practices, the subtlety and removability of Invisalign trays allow you to continue business as usual. A few of Invisalign treatment’s most remarkable traits include:
- Comfort – Smooth, plastic trays fit snugly against your teeth and won’t poke your cheeks. Sounds a bit better than metal braces, doesn’t it?
- Convenience – Invisalign trays are completely removable whenever you eat or practice oral hygiene. This means you don’t need to change your food choices or struggle to floss behind wires, and get food particles out of brackets. Moreover, Invisalign does not require as many trips to the dentist/orthodontist as standard braces. You will live your life without your orthodontic treatment making demands on your time.
- Invisibility – The clear aligner trays are unnoticeable unless closely inspected. No one will realize you are pursuing straighter teeth.
Beginning Your Invisalign Treatment
The first step is to determine whether you are a candidate for Invisalign. Although Invisalign allows for treatment of a variety of cases, some patients have malocclusions that are too advanced for aligner treatment. No matter your case, our dentists will work with you throughout your orthodontic treatment and ensure your satisfaction.
