When many people look in the mirror, their misaligned or uneven teeth stand out most in the reflection they see. Luckily, you can get the smile you have always dreamed of easily and discreetly using Invisalign. 3 million people around the world have used Invisalign, the clear alternative to braces, to straighten their teeth, boosting their confidence and achieving their very own Hollywood smile.
Invisalign uses clear aligner trays instead of traditional metal wires and brackets to straighten teeth. The trays are worn one after the other during treatment and use pressure to move teeth to their desired positions. Invisalign can also correct bite problems like overbite, underbite and crossbite.
The Advantages of Invisalign
#1 Convenience
Invisalign trays are removable. There is no need to worry about food particles being stuck in your brackets since you can simply take your tray out to eat. Additionally, special flossers are not necessary to thread between brackets or wires. Just remove your trays and brush and floss as you normally would. Don’t forget to brush your trays as well.
#2 Appearance
Invisalign uses aligner trays made from clear, sturdy and comfortable plastic. The trays are not nearly as noticeable to others as traditional braces would be. They also eliminate stray wires irritating your cheeks and gums. Though you should wear your trays for at least 22 hours a day, they may be removed for a special event such as giving a speech or the prom.
#3 Modern
Invisalign takes full advantage of modern technology. It even allows you to see your results before you start treatment. Your dentist sends a mold of your mouth and teeth to Invisalign’s dental laboratory. The lab uses this mold to create a video which shows you exactly how your teeth and jaw will move during treatment. Once you approve the video, your aligner trays are customized, created and delivered to your dentist’s office. After a quick lesson on how to insert and remove your trays, you are ready to start wearing your aligners.
