What if you could discreetly and comfortably straighten your teeth without bulky brackets and wires? Well, with Invisalign® clear aligners, it’s a reality. Invisalign isn't just about invisible braces; it's about visible confidence, unrestricted laughter, and the freedom to smile without hesitation.
Unfortunately, some myths surround clear braces, so let’s clear up any confusion, making it possible to transform your smile and raise your self-confidence.
Improving Your Smile Is Possible
Invisalign clear aligners are customized to fit your smile; we take impressions of your teeth and send them to the Invisalign lab, where they create a series of clear braces. If you’re a teen or adult with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, Invisalign can correct the following issues:
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Crossbite
- Open bite
- Misaligned teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Crowded teeth
5 Myths about Invisalign
Here are some of the myths you may have heard about Invisalign clear aligners:
- All clear aligners are the same — Invisalign clear aligners use SmartTrack Aligner Technology to give you a precise fit and the most accurate tooth movement. Invisalign clear aligners have been effectively straightening teeth for over 20 years.
- Treatment time is shorter — You may have heard that your treatment time is shorter with Invisalign, but it depends on your dental concerns and how compliant you are about wearing your aligners for 22 hours a day. We can give you an estimated treatment time when we form your treatment plan.
- Clear braces are painful — When you first begin wearing your clear aligner trays, they may be uncomfortable. However, most patients adjust quickly, and Invisalign is less painful than traditional braces that can cut your lip, tongue, and cheek.
- You can’t eat certain foods with Invisalign — Because you can remove your Invisalign trays to eat, no foods are considered off limits. Unlike traditional braces, you can enjoy hard, chewy, and sticky foods during your clear aligner treatment.
- Clear aligners are more expensive — Your Invisalign cost depends on your dental insurance coverage, the severity of your dental concerns, and whether you need multiple adjustments following treatment. However, in general, Invisalign is comparable in price to traditional braces.
