Are you interested in Invisalign<\/a> because you\u2019d prefer not to deal with \u201cmetal mouth?\u201d If so, you\u2019re not alone. That\u2019s why more than 17 million patients have chosen this orthodontic treatment over the last two decades! There\u2019s more good news though: there are six non-cosmetic benefits of Invisalign that are equally as noteworthy. To learn what they are, read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. The Aligners Are Metal-Free<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While having metal-free aligners certainly has its aesthetic advantages, there\u2019s something else to consider: no soft tissue irritation. In other words, Invisalign trays don\u2019t just look great; they feel great too! Plus, you can easily alleviate any discomfort that does arise from the movement of your teeth with OTC pain medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The Average Treatment Timeline Is Shorter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although there are multiple factors to consider \u2013 from the severity of the patient\u2019s case to how well they follow the treatment guidelines \u2013 traditional braces typically take 2-3 years. Conversely, the average treatment timeline with Invisalign is only 12-18 months! So, there\u2019s a good chance your teeth-straightening journey will be considerably shorter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. There Aren\u2019t Any Dietary Restrictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s true! While traditional braces require you to cut out whole apples, almonds, popcorn, tortilla chips, celery, and other crunchy foods, there aren\u2019t any dietary restrictions with Invisalign. The only guideline is that you need to keep your consumption of sugary and starchy snacks to a minimum to prevent cavities (and remove your aligners beforehand, of course).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. There Are Fewer Check-In Visits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you have a full schedule this semester, work is busier than ever, or you\u2019re a new parent, you don\u2019t have to worry about monthly adjustment appointments with Invisalign. Instead, you can progress through several sets of trays at home. Then, every 6-8 weeks, you\u2019ll have a check-in visit with your dentist so they can monitor how your teeth are moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. It Doesn\u2019t Take Long to See Progress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the many benefits of clear aligners is that they are see-through. Not only that, but they are removable. So, you can watch as your teeth begin to move closer and closer to their properly aligned positions. Before you know it, you\u2019ll have a straighter, healthier, and even more beautiful smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. The Aligners Can Fix Multiple Orthodontic Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a common misconception that Invisalign can only fix small gaps and slight overcrowding. That\u2019s not the case! Over the last two decades, clear aligners have helped patients with crooked teeth, open bites, significant gaps, and several other common orthodontic problems. So, if you are unhappy with the alignment of your teeth or bite, don\u2019t just assume you need traditional braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
