(407) 777-2071Why Invisalign is Popular for Adults
Some adults decline to straighten their teeth as they are hesitant to don the bulky and unsightly metal braces typically worn by teens. Thankfully, the days of wearing unsightly metal braces are in the past. Adults far and wide are turning to Invisalign to straighten and properly space wayward teeth.
Why so Many Adults are Turning to Invisalign: A Discrete Aesthetic
Invisalign is completely discrete. No one will have any idea you are wearing Invisalign yet it will work wonders on your crooked teeth. This aesthetic appeal is a large part of what attracts adults to Invisalign as opposed to metal braces. There is no need to bother with those annoying and absurd-looking metal brackets and wires as required by conventional braces. Since the aligners are essentially invisible, you get a perfect smile without the “brace-face” look or comments from others."
There are no Eating Restrictions With Invisalign
Those who use Invisalign1 to straighten their teeth can eat whatever foods they desire. The exact opposite is true with braces. Why bother worrying about chewy, sticky and hard foods such as bagels, pretzels, and pizza when you can eat whatever you desire by opting for Invisalign? The alternative is to run the risk of damaging braces with the bits of food trapped up against the teeth. It is much easier to remove the translucent Invisalign aligners. As long as you keep your Invisalign aligners on your teeth for the vast majority of the day, they will gradually straighten your teeth.
Invisalign Produces Results in a Reasonable Amount of Time
Regular braces certainly work though they can take longer to work. Use Invisalign and you will notice your crooked or improperly spaced teeth are in the proper position in a year's time. The bottom line is it will take some time to safely move your teeth into the proper positions. Braces will take a minimum of a year and a half or two years to straighten crooked teeth. Some patients find braces take three years to completely straighten the teeth. The single year or so it takes for Invisalign to generate results is much more tolerable in comparison.
Invisalign Aligners are Comfortable in the Mouth
Those who rely on metal braces to straighten their teeth often complain of the metal brackets catching on the interior of their mouth. In some cases, these metal brackets actually cut the interior of the mouth. Furthermore, if the mouth is struck, the movement of braces can cause extensive damage that proves quite painful. Opt for Invisalign aligners comprised of smooth plastic and your mouth will be perfectly comfortable at all times. Even if you are hit in the mouth when wearing Invisalign aligners you won't feel additional pain as there is nothing for these plastic aligners to catch onto.
The Perfect Smile You Covet is Possible With Invisalign
A lovely smile certainly matters for people of all ages yet it is especially important for adults competing for employment, love, and success. If your smile is marred by metal braces, crooked teeth or improperly spaced teeth, it will reduce your chances for professional success. A fantastic smile really does make a powerful first impression that has the potential to set the stage for a mutually beneficial relationship.
The last thing you should have to worry about is whether metal braces are visible when you part your lips. Take the Invisalign route and your teeth will straighten without obtrusive braces getting in the way. The best part is no one in your professional or social circle will have any clue that you are using Invisalign clear aligners to beautify your smile. This is a covert yet highly effective of turning a flawed smile into one you are proud to show off in public.
Invisalign is Low Maintenance
The average adult has more than enough to worry about. From taking care of the kids to getting to work on time, having a semblance of a social life, working out and beyond, there is simply too much to do and not enough hours in the day. Invisalign is the most efficient means of beautifying your smile. This approach to straightening teeth requires as few dental visits as possible. The Invisalign system relies on advanced computer simulations for the utmost precision. The patient merely has to change out the aligner every couple of weeks to ensure the teeth gradually shift into the intended positions. As long as the patient wears the Invisalign aligners between 20 and 22 hours each day, the progress of the teeth will match that predicted in the simulation. The end result is a minimal time commitment compared to that required of traditional braces.
Invisalign Empowers Adults to Continue Their Regular Dental Hygiene Routine
You can clean your teeth as you normally do even after you make the shift to Invisalign. All you have to do is remove your Invisalign aligner before flossing or brushing. The aligners can be cleaned with ease. All you need to clean the aligners is some water and a regular toothbrush. Go ahead and floss and brush your teeth two times or more per day after removing the Invisalign aligners. There is no need to fuss around with obtrusive metal wires and brackets as required with conventional braces.
