Seven reasons why patients use Invisalign services for teeth straightening
Invisalign orthodontics is a special teeth-straightening method often chosen over traditional metal bracket-and-wire braces for many reasons. This tray aligner treatment is available with our dentists at Los Alamitos Dental Care of Los Alamitos, California, and has continued to gain popularity amongst our patients. Our team finds that Invisalign is a great way to help adult patients straighten their smiles, as many patients want to avoid covering their smiles with metal when working in the corporate world. Below are seven reasons patients choose Invisalign to straighten their adult teeth and enhance their smile’s functionality, health, and appearance.
- Appearance. The most popular benefit of Invisalign is its nearly invisible appearance. Unlike more traditional braces, which use metal wires and brackets to straighten teeth, Invisalign utilizes clear plastic aligners that are practically invisible when worn.
- Comfort. Another advantage of Invisalign is its comfort compared to traditional metal braces. The smooth plastic aligners are customized to fit each individual’s unique mouth shape, reducing irritation and discomfort often associated with metal wires and brackets.
- Removability. One of the biggest complaints about conventional metal orthodontia is the difficulty cleaning around them, leading to plaque buildup and potential oral health issues. With Invisalign, our patients can easily remove their aligners to brush and floss their teeth properly, maintaining good oral hygiene throughout their treatment.
- Convenience. Invisalign services require fewer office visits than traditional braces, making them a much more convenient option for busy patients. While conventional braces often require adjustments every 4-6 weeks, Invisalign patients typically only need to visit their orthodontist every 6-8 weeks.
- Shorter treatment time. On average, our Invisalign treatment takes anywhere from 12-18 months, significantly shorter than the average duration of traditional braces treatment (18-24 months). This makes Invisalign a more appealing option for those who want straighter teeth in less time.
- Fewer dietary restrictions. With traditional braces, patients must avoid certain foods that can get stuck in the wires or brackets, making them difficult to clean. With Invisalign, patients can remove their aligners when eating, allowing them to enjoy their favorite foods without worry.
- Confidence boost. Many of our patients have reported increased confidence and self-esteem after using Invisalign services for teeth straightening. The discreet appearance of the aligners allows them to feel more comfortable smiling and speaking in public without feeling self-conscious about their orthodontic treatment.
