All too many teenagers and adults do not receive the orthodontic care they need due to fear of an extensive treatment process. Invisalign® offers a way to straighten your smile in a minimally invasive manner. You can also enjoy the discreetness that Invisalign offers, which is not the case with traditional braces.
The most notable reasons to choose Invisalign for your orthodontic procedure are to achieve an improved appearance, discreet treatment and to have the ability to remove the aligners. Invisalign treatment also provides long-term results and it does not take as long to achieve the desired results.
Invisalign treatment is a highly effective form of orthodontic care, and almost every patient is satisfied with the final results from treatment. The reason for the high success rate is that an orthodontic professional oversees the entire treatment process. From the initial consultation to providing follow-up care after treatment is complete, having consistent assistance from a licensed dental professional is invaluable when it comes to straightening your smile.
Invisalign treatment is much more discreet than traditional braces. With traditional braces, others can notice that the patient is undergoing orthodontic care as the brackets and wires are more visible. The aligners with Invisalign, however, are essentially invisible and the patient is able to straighten their smile without anyone else noticing.
In addition to the discreet nature of Invisalign, the aligners are also removable. This means the patient has fewer food restrictions during treatment and is able to remove the aligners when giving an important presentation at work or school and in other important life moments. However, this does come with added responsibility, and the patient is responsible for wearing the aligners for at least 20 hours each day.
After the patient achieves their ideal smile and the aligners are no longer necessary to shift teeth into the proper alignment, the dentist can then use a retainer to keep the patient’s smile straight. Teeth have a tendency to shift back to their original position after treatment, so it is important to wear the retainer as directed until teeth are not as vulnerable to shifting back to where they were prior to treatment.
The treatment time with Invisalign is on average shorter than with traditional braces. Most patients see desirable results within a year and a half, and some patients only need to wear the Invisalign aligners for six months. Of course, the length of treatment depends on a range of factors, including how well the patient follows the treatment plan.
