Trying to figure out if Invisalign is the right step? We completely understand – orthodontic treatment is a big commitment, both emotionally and financially. But there are reasons why Invisalign is not the orthodontic treatment you expect. When you consider the benefits of alternative straightening, you’re likely to find that they outweigh the negatives.
Looking for a little more information? Schedule a consultation to learn whether you’re an Invisalign candidate, and how long treatment is likely to take. The appointment is free, so there’s nothing to lose – and so much to gain.
Is Invisalign Worth the Effort?
Below, we’ve discussed a few of the most pressing factors that determine whether a dental procedure is right for you. How does Invisalign measure up?
- Patient comfort level – While there is some discomfort after you switch to a new tray, this doesn’t last for long. When you’re wearing your Invisalign trays, the smooth plastic won’t scrape your tongue or cheeks, and you’ll feel completely comfortable.
- Effect on daily life – Invisalign lets you live as usual, without bending over backwards to accommodate it. Since the trays are removable, you can eat, drink, and clean your teeth normally, simply removing your aligners beforehand. You won’t feel self-conscious about the way your teeth look, because the clear trays won’t be immediately noticeable to those around you.
- Restrictions imposed by treatment – With the aligners’ subtle appearance, removability, and comfort, there are very few things you need to change about your life. Simply make sure to clean your teeth properly, and wear your trays between 20-22 hours each day.
- Length of treatment – Your Invisalign treatment will take an average of 10-14 months, and you’ll be able to see the change as straightening progresses. By watching your smile evolve through the clear trays, you’ll get all the more excited for your final grin.
Still not convinced? The main reason Invisalign has been chosen by so many patients is the effect treatment will have on their confidence. With a straight, beautiful smile, you’ll feel ready for anything – and your life will change permanently.
