Millions of people have benefitted from Invisalign. Is it time you joined them?
An alternative to traditional wire braces, Invisalign has become a popular and effective way to correct misaligned teeth. In fact, over 11 million people have used Invisalign to successfully straighten their smiles.
Made of clear, BPA-free plastic, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible and custom-designed to fit snugly over your teeth. With gentle, controlled pressure, they guide your teeth into proper alignment over time.
Thinking about Invisalign? A dental professional at Espire Dental can help you decide whether this clear aligner system is right for you. In the meantime, here are six reasons why so many people choose Invisalign.
Why Invisalign?
Invisalign can treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including:
- Crowding
- Spacing
- Crossbite
- Overbite
- Underbite
While some complex cases may require braces, most mild to moderate issues can be corrected with Invisalign.
1. It's Less Noticeable
Worried about the appearance of metal braces? Invisalign aligners are clear and discreet, making them an ideal option for adults and teens who want a more subtle treatment.
2. No Food Restrictions
Unlike braces, which require avoiding sticky or crunchy foods, Invisalign aligners are removable. That means you can eat what you like—just remember to brush your teeth and rinse your aligners afterward.
3. Fewer Office Visits
With Invisalign, you’ll receive a new set of trays every 1–2 weeks and typically only need to visit your dentist every 6 to 8 weeks—less often than the standard adjustment appointments for braces.
4. Quicker Treatment Time
Invisalign treatment can take as little as 3 to 8 months for mild cases, with most people finishing in 12 to 18 months. Traditional braces usually require around two years. Just make sure to wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day for optimal results.
5. Easier Oral Care
Since the aligners are removable, you can brush and floss normally—no navigating around wires or brackets. You’ll also want to clean your trays daily with a cleanser or by soaking them in a cleaning solution.
6. More Than Just Aesthetic Benefits
Invisalign isn’t just about a great-looking smile. Straightening your teeth also improves your oral health by reducing the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and bruxism (grinding). A healthier smile is a happier smile.
