Benefits Of Invisalign

There’s a reason several patients are choosing Invisalign to straighten their teeth. Actually, there are several! Here are some of the top benefits our patients enjoy:

  • Transparent Design: Invisalign aligners are crafted to be virtually invisible. Your friends, family, and strangers may not even realize you’re wearing them! This can make Invisalign treatment a seamless fit with your lifestyle. The aligners also do not have any wires or brackets!
  • Removable Aligners: You can take off your Invisalign aligners to brush, floss, eat, and drink. For milestone events like a wedding, job interview, or to perform your favorite instrument or sport, you can remove them. To achieve optimal results, patients should wear their Invisalign aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day.
  • Comfortable And Customized: Invisalign is developed from SmartTrack material to deliver more predictable tooth movements and be comfortable. These aligners are trimmed based on each patient’s gumline to fit securely and be esthetically pleasing.
  • FDA Approved And Vegan: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classifies Invisalign aligners as Class II medical devices. These aligners are also completely vegan and do not contain any animal products, making them suitable for a wider range of patients.
  • Supports Overall Oral Health: Did you know that proper tooth alignment actually supports effective oral hygiene and health? Misaligned teeth can lead to gum disease, premature wear, and more. Straight teeth support healthier gums and lead to fewer costly dental procedures.

Age Candidacy For Invisalign

Invisalign is designed to accommodate a variety of patients, from kids to adults. They can treat both simple and complex cases. Here are some candidates for these clear aligners:

Children: These personalized aligners are crafted to be comfortable and align smiles for children, too. Be sure to ask our doctor whether this treatment is right for your little one!

Teens: As teenagers grow, the idea of having obvious brackets and wires in their mouths may become less than ideal. Invisalign is a subtle, effective, and comfortable cosmetic solution to achieve straighter teeth for teens.

Adults: From small teeth shifts to significant cases, Invisalign treatment aligns smiles for younger and older adults.
