What You Should Know About Invisalign

 There are many reasons to choose Invisalign for teeth straightening. You can be more confident about your decision when you know what to expect.

 Orthodontics are for Adults as Well as Children

Invisalign is suitable for people of all ages. Whether your everyday life includes a job, school, recreation, or social activities, you’ll appreciate the nearly invisible aligners. The clear braces are effective for teens, young adults, and adults into their 40’s. While not everyone is a good candidate for Invisalign, you’re likely to find it’s a good choice for you.

Efficient and Fast Results

Invisalign is a proven, fast and efficient approach to teeth straightening. Treatment times vary from person to person, but you’ll have faster results than if you’d chosen traditional metal braces.

Aligner Discomfort

Before you become accustomed to wearing a new aligner, you might experience a little discomfort. This is quite normal, and expected – it means the braces are working!

Teeth Movement

When you remove a new aligner, your teeth may feel a little loose. This, also, shows the aligners are working. Invisalign braces gradually move teeth until they’re in the correct position.

Custom Made for You!

Another reason patients like Invisalign is the aligners are custom made for each individual. Your braces will be the perfect fit for your jaw shape and your teeth. This feature makes Invisalign effective and comfortable.

Lisp During Invisalign Treatment

If you’ve been coping with malocclusion, you may notice a slight lisp when you start to wear Invisalign braces. It’ll disappear when you’re accustomed to wearing your aligners.

Invisalign Attachments

For some patients, Invisalign treatment includes little buttons or attachments on the teeth. You shouldn’t be alarmed by this feature. The purpose is to ensure the braces stay in place and work effectively. The attachment or button won’t be noticeable to other people, and won’t produce discomfort.
