5 Reasons Patients Choose Invisalign Treatment

Invisalign aligners offer smile-straightening power with a subtle, invisibility. But it isn’t just the invisible nature of Invisalign aligners that make them one of the most popular orthodontic tools to date. Discover five reasons why Stonebrook Family Dental  patients choose Invisalign for attention-grabbing results.

Invisalign treatment is: 1) less noticeable; 2) more comfortable; 3) more diet-friendly; 4) easier to maintain; and 5) removable.

Quick Invisalign 101

Clear aligners are plastic trays custom formed to fit the patient’s teeth. Patients are responsible for placing and removing their aligners. Each aligner is worn for 2-3 weeks, with small, fractional movements. Each time a new aligner system is put in, the teeth experience new forces to continue the movement of the teeth to their proper position.  

Double take, double take

Invisalign aligners are so subtle people will be doing double takes when they hear you are undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Feel subconscious about your smile? You won’t need to with this invisible system. Smile away!

Many studies have shown that having a straight smile makes you more confident and can even lead to more success in your home, school, and professional life.

In a study of over 2,000 people conducted by Invisalign, they found that with a straighter smile, 60% or more of the respondents felt happier, more attractive and more confident after treatment.

Comfort is key

Invisalign offers a bracketless, wireless design. Patients love the smooth feel and look of the treatment aligners.  Not need to worry about metal brackets rubbing sore spots on delicate mouth tissues with the plastic aligners. Pokey wires are a thing of the past!

Invisalign aligners are custom-fit to match your mouth and teeth landscape perfectly. Once you put them in, they fit snuggly against your teeth allowing you to speak normally and freely.

No diet restrictions here!

Standard bracket and wire braces  limit your exposure to crunchy, sticky foods. Invisalign aligners are removed when you eat, allowing you to continue your love affair with caramel, popcorn, nuts, apples, corn on the cob and more!

You are strongly encouraged to still limit your sugar intake and practice nutritious, healthy dental habits so the strength of your teeth and teeth enamel can remain strong throughout treatment.

Regular dental check-ups are a vital part of your orthodontic treatment experience.

Easier to maintain

Removable aligners means cleaning and flossing teeth is a breeze. No wires to get in your way; no brackets to clean around. The ability to keep your mouth more clean means you are better able to prevent tooth decay. Just don’t forget to put your aligners back in when you are done cleaning your teeth. And don’t forget to clean your aligners regularly. Aligners that are neglected can grow bacteria that could sit in your aligner, on your teeth and affect not just the health of your teeth, but the health of your body as well.

Play an instrument? No problem.

Musicians and athletes love Invisalign removable aligners because it allows them to continue in their hobbies and extracurricular pursuits without having their orthodontic treatment get in the way. No metal braces means you or your teen are less likely to sustain a mouth injury during sports that is made worse because of their dental appliance.

Invisalign aligners do NOT serve as mouthguards.  You will still need to wear a mouthguard when engaging in sports when you are undergoing treatment.
