Isn’t it great when life gives you options? Especially when it comes to creating a healthy, beautiful smile in a virtually invisible way. That’s one of the many reasons Holbert Family Orthodontics offers Invisalign, in addition to more traditional braces, as an option for our patients of all ages.
Our provider’s experience makes a powerful difference; they have treated thousands of smiles with Invisalign. Holbert Family Orthodontics even makes Invisalign available to suitable candidates at the same cost as traditional braces. So, whether you choose metal braces, clear ceramic braces, Invisalign clear aligners (or a combination of the two), the cost to you is the same. We will give you our honest recommendation regarding the best choice or choices for your needs.
What are the Advantages of Invisalign?
Invisalign is a system of clear, custom-made aligners which fit over your teeth and gently move your teeth into place. It can correct various dental and orthodontic issues, including overbite, underbite, overly-crowded teeth and widely-gapped teeth.
Your Invisalign aligners are instantly removable, so you can clean your teeth, floss and eat comfortably. To clean them, just brush them without toothpaste and rinse with cool water.
You will be given a series of aligners, based on your treatment plan, which are successively “switched out” as you progress. Invisalign uses a computer program to accurately align your teeth, building precise, predetermined movements into each of your aligners.
Most patients wear an average of 18 to 30 aligners over their treatment time. You wear your aligners 22 hours daily, so that leaves two hours for eating and brushing.
To sum up, the key advantages of Invisalign include:
- Invisalign has an aesthetic advantage, as it is almost unnoticeable in your daily interactions.
- The clear aligner system is virtually hassle-free.
- You will have no diet restrictions, as you can discreetly remove your aligners prior to eating.
- Brushing your teeth and flossing will be uncomplicated, so you won’t have any problems maintaining excellent oral hygiene.
- Invisalign is made from smooth, comfortable plastic, ensuring an easy adjustment to “braces.”
Enhanced Lifestyle Flexibility
Invisalign aligns with your lifestyle seamlessly, making it a flexible choice for busy individuals. Whether you’re attending a wedding, going on a date, or simply enjoying a day out with friends, you can easily remove the aligners for special occasions without compromising your treatment progress. This level of adaptability means you don’t have to worry about the aesthetic impact of braces on important moments in your life. With Invisalign, you can eat what you want and continue your daily routines without feeling restricted.
Less Frequent Office Visits
Another significant benefit of choosing Invisalign is the reduced number of visits to the orthodontist. While traditional braces often require regular adjustments and check-ups every few weeks, Invisalign allows for longer intervals between appointments. Typically, you’ll receive multiple sets of aligners at once and only need to visit our office every six to eight weeks for monitoring and to pick up your next sets. This not only saves you time but also fits better into a busy schedule, allowing you to focus on your life while still progressing toward your orthodontic goals.
Improved Oral Health
Maintaining excellent oral health is easier with Invisalign compared to traditional braces. Because the aligners can be taken out, you can brush and floss your teeth without any hindrance. This makes it simpler to keep your teeth clean and reduces the risk of plaque buildup, cavities, and gum disease during your treatment. By prioritizing oral hygiene, you can ensure that your smile remains healthy and bright throughout your orthodontic journey, setting a solid foundation for the beautiful results you can expect at the end of treatment.
