Are you currently in the process of deciding which orthodontic treatment to choose? If Invisalign is an option, you’ll be happy to hear that it has an impressive 96% satisfaction rate, and that more than 12 million patients around the world have opted for this discreet orthodontic treatment. If you’re still on the fence, then read on to learn four freedoms you’ll enjoy with Invisalign.
1. Freedom From Dietary Restrictions
One drawback of traditional braces is that certain foods are off the table, like tortilla chips, whole apples, raw carrots, and popcorn. Invisalign, on the other hand, doesn’t come with any dietary restrictions. Since the aligners are removable, you can continue to eat a varied, well-balanced diet throughout your teeth-straightening journey.
2. Freedom From Metal Brackets and Wires
It’s common for teenagers and adults with traditional braces to feel a bit self-conscious and, as a result, develop a habit of covering their mouth when they laugh or smile. Fortunately, Invisalign is completely metal-free. In fact, the aligners are so discreet that even those who see you on a daily basis – like your coworkers or close friends – will likely have a hard time telling when you’re wearing them.
3. Freedom From Frequent Appointments
Typically, patients with traditional braces visit their orthodontist every four weeks for an adjustment. Conversely, the check-in visits with Invisalign are usually every six or eight weeks. That means you’ll spend less time in the treatment chair and more time doing what you want!
Note: If your teeth are moving as anticipated, your appointment will likely only be 15 minutes or so too!
4. Freedom From Cumbersome Dental Care
If you had traditional braces in the past, then you know that sometimes you need interproximal toothbrushes, pre-threaded floss, and other special dental care tools to properly complete your oral hygiene regimen. The same cannot be said for Invisalign because the aligners are removable! So, all you have to do is take them out before brushing and flossing as usual.
