What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?

Invisalign aligners are clear, smooth plastic trays that fit snugly over your teeth. They reposition your teeth a little bit at a time and can be removed at any time. Each tray is custom-made to fit your unique smile. They are made of a thermoplastic material, which is comfortable and very durable.

Invisalign aligners apply controlled force to your teeth, causing them to shift slightly. The aligners use just the right amount of force in the right place at the right time, applying pressure to just the right places. Every two weeks, you switch to a new set of aligners, and your teeth gradually shift into place.

These aligners offer lots of benefits, such as:

Comfortable Orthodontic Treatment

Invisalign can address a wide range of smile issues, including overbite, underbite, crossbite, spacing issues, and crowding. Invisalign aligners are made of clear, thermoplastic material, so they’re nearly invisible. The aligners are also removable, which allows you to maintain the proper oral hygiene routine. You can remove your aligners when you brush and floss.

Invisalign aligners are custom-made for you. Each aligner shifts your teeth slightly, moving them gradually into proper alignment. Your aligners also remove the pressure that comes from chewing, further contributing to your improved comfort.

Removable

Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can take them out to eat and drink as usual. There are no diet restrictions with Invisalign. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are smooth and comfortable and will not scratch your mouth. You can also brush and floss your teeth normally.

Aesthetics

Invisalign treatment straightens teeth without metal brackets and wires. This means you will have a less noticeable smile. They use clear aligners, which are almost invisible when worn. 

Convenience

Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can eat and drink whatever you want while in treatment. You can also remove your aligners to brush and floss your teeth as normal to maintain good oral hygiene.

There are no metal brackets or wires to worry about, and your appointments are faster because there’s no need to make adjustments. Invisalign treatment is generally shorter than treatment with traditional braces, too!

Reduced Treatment Time

The length of your treatment time will depend on the extent of your alignment issues. Most patients achieve their desired results within 12 months, though treatment times will vary.
