Being unhappy about the appearance of crooked or misaligned teeth can have a big impact on your confidence and self-esteem.
If you find yourself worried about smiling in photos, or hiding your mouth behind your hand when you talk or laugh, you’ve probably looked into teeth straightening options before. But have you considered Invisalign?
Invisalign has become a very popular solution for teeth straightening, with many dentists recommending this option to their clients as an alternative to traditional braces.
Today, we’ll look at the benefits this teeth straightening solution can offer you, helping you feel more confident about your smile.
Invisalign braces use a series of clear, removable aligners, worn over the teeth like a mouthguard, to straighten your teeth just as effectively as traditional braces – without bands, brackets, or wires!
The Invisalign aligners work to gradually and gently shift your teeth into the right position, improving your smile while most people are unaware you’re having dental treatment.
Because they are virtually invisible, Invisalign is a particularly appealing treatment option for adults, who have made the decision to straighten their teeth later in life but are worried about the appearance of traditional braces.
Invisalign’s clear aligners are far more comfortable to wear than traditional braces, being made of clear, strong, medical grade, non-toxic plastic. In fact, because they’re so smooth and thin, many dentists refer to them as ‘contact lenses for teeth!’
Your dentist will provide you with a new set of aligners approximately every two weeks, until your treatment is complete – no metal brackets to attach and no wires to tighten.
Obviously you’ll want to wear your aligners as much as possible for the best results, however with Invisalign, you do have the option to remove them whenever you want.
This means you can keep brushing and flossing your teeth as normal, removing your aligners, then popping them back in when you’re finished. You can also continue to eat all your favourite foods, without worrying about food being stuck in your braces, or damaging any wires or brackets.
Because Invisalign braces are removable, they can be a particularly welcome treatment solution if you have an important event coming up, such as a wedding or formal. Just remove your aligners for that short time, then continue your treatment as usual.
With Invisalign, you’ll only need to see your dentist about every 6-8 weeks, as opposed to the more frequent 3-4 weeks between visits for traditional braces, meaning your life will be less interrupted by your dental treatment.
