Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who want to improve their smile without the appearance of traditional braces. Invisalign offers numerous benefits, including improved appearance, increased comfort, and easier oral hygiene.

One of the main benefits of Invisalign is improved appearance. Invisalign aligners are made from a clear, BPA-free plastic material that is virtually invisible when worn, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who are concerned about the appearance of traditional metal braces. Invisalign aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth, ensuring a comfortable and discreet fit throughout the treatment process.

Another benefit of Invisalign is increased comfort. Traditional metal braces can cause discomfort, irritation, and even cuts or sores on the inside of the mouth. Invisalign aligners are made from a smooth, comfortable material that reduces the risk of irritation or discomfort during treatment.

Invisalign also offers benefits for oral hygiene. Traditional metal braces can make brushing and flossing difficult, leading to a higher risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Invisalign aligners are removable, making it easier to brush and floss your teeth normally. This can help promote better oral hygiene and reduce the risk of dental problems during treatment.

So how does Invisalign work?

Invisalign treatment involves a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks and is then replaced with the next set in the series. This process continues until your teeth have been straightened to the desired position, usually in about 12 to 18 months.

Overall, Invisalign offers numerous benefits for patients who want to improve their smile without the appearance or discomfort of traditional metal braces. If you are interested in Invisalign, speak with our team at North Arbor Dental to determine if it is the right treatment option for you.
