What Makes Invisalign® so Appealing?

Is your smile a constant source of insecurity for you, but you don’t want the hassle, or visibility, of traditional corrective braces? Many adults and teens crave a perfect, straight smile and bite, but the thought of wearing metal braces on their teeth for years is a definite turn-off. Luckily, there is a less visible, yet just as effective, option: Invisalign®. 

Invisalign is perfect for adults or teens who want to covertly correct their smile. Invisalign uses custom-made, clear aligners to gradually, and gently, shift your teeth in place. No one will know that you’re wearing braces! There are many benefits to using Invisalign, and the perks don’t stop at cosmetic reasons. 

The Benefits of Invisalign®


- Shorter Treatment Time than Traditional Braces- That’s right- Invisalign actually straightens your teeth in less time than metal braces. On average, treatment takes about a year for adults. 
- Anything Braces Can Do, Invisalign Can Do, Too- While there is definitely a place for metal braces, you shouldn’t feel like you have to use them because they are the best choice. Invisalign is just as effective as metal braces, and can treat common issues such as gapped teeth, underbites, overbites, open bites, overly crowded teeth, and crossbites. 
- Easy to Clean Teeth- Invisalign offers the benefit of being removable, allowing patients the ability to more effectively floss and brush their teeth. Not only is this better for your overall periodontal health, it just makes life with braces easier to handle. 
- Eat What You Want- There are no diet restrictions with Invisalign. You can enjoy all of your favorite foods worry-free. 
- Comfortable and Safe- Traditional metal braces can sometimes injure the soft tissues inside your mouth, causing pain. Invisalign’s smooth, clear, plastic aligners are easy on your mouth and won’t cause pain. This makes Invisalign perfect for teens who play sports, or adults who have high-impact jobs or hobbies.

Overall, Invisalign is a great option if you’re looking for an easy way to straighten your teeth that won’t cramp your style. Perfect for teens and adults alike, Invisalign fits into any busy lifestyle, and will help you achieve that perfect, glowing smile in no time.

The Invisalign® System

How do you feel about your smile? Are you embarrassed to show it off because you have gaps or crooked teeth? Perhaps you've thought about doing something to fix your smile but didn't want to have to deal with uncomfortable metal braces. Well, now you don't have to. Over the last several years, braces have come a long way. Unattractive and cumbersome metal is not the only option anymore. There's a cosmetic alternative to traditional brace-wear called Invisalign® that has become a popular choice among adults.

4 Major Benefits of Invisalign

  • Appearance - The aligner trays used in the Invisalign system are nearly invisible.

  • Comfort - Instead of sharp metal, the aligners are made of smooth plastic.

  • Quickness - The Invisalign system straightens teeth faster than traditional braces.

  • Ease of use - Patients can remove their aligners when they eat or drink and for brushing and flossing purposes, unlike with metal braces. 

Invisalign for Young Adults

If you have older children that are in need of braces, there is a good chance that they may not want to wear metal braces. Invisalign could be the perfect solution. A young adult can start using Invisalign as long as he or she has all of their permanent teeth and qualifies for the procedure. The most important requirement for young adults is that they wear their aligners for at least 22 hours a day without misplacing the aligner when it is out of the mouth.. In addition, they need to visit their dentist twice a month to get new trays.

When you have decided it's finally time to do something about your smile and you'd like to learn how Invisalign can help, contact Dr.Diane Arel. Find out if Invisalign is a good choice for you. Schedule your consultation with Art of Smiles Dentistry in Harrison today!
