Invisalign® Makes it Easier Than Ever to Straighten Your Teeth

Invisalign® is changing the way that people interact socially, making great first impressions, and giving back something most people truly cherish – their smile. For years, adults have lived with malocclusion because they were unwilling to go through the trauma of having a mouth full of metal to correct their crooked teeth. Invisalign®, a virtually invisible system that works great for busy adults, has changed all of this. Now, adults everywhere are improving their smile with help from the Invisalign® system. Adults have a greater stake in improving their smile, and so 30% of all patients coming in to see a dentist these days are looking for ways to augment it. The smile is one of the most powerful, and well used, facial expressions that we have. We use it to portray friendliness, affection, thought, or to take a pause when we need to think before saying something.

There are a million uses for the smile, but for 52% of the population this is a disadvantage since they do not smile as much as they would like to. In a recent study, this group all admitted that they would smile more if they had better teeth to smile with. In a world where first impressions are critically important, where most people make that impression within 15 seconds of meeting a new person, and where 53% of the population notices a smile before anything else, not smiling should never be an option.

Invisalign® has made many strides to improve how people straighten their teeth and deal with malocclusion. We understand that for many people there is a level of excitement associated with this process. We also know that many of our patients have a lot of questions about it. One of the most frequently asked is, "how is Invisalign® a superior way to straighten teeth?" There are many reasons why Invisalign® is a superior product, but from the point of view of an Invisalign® dentist, we know that there are three very specific things that Invisalign® offers that makes it the go-to treatment for many adults. Three things that immediately come to mind about Invisalign® is the fact that Invisalign® is completely customized, they are clear and discrete, and they are comfortable.

  • Customizable: Every Invisalign® patient has the advantage of getting a completely customized adjustment system. We measure your teeth, documenting all of the nuances that make your mouth unique and then send those measurements to the laboratory. The lab uses those to make your aligner, in keeping with a customized plan that we have to get your teeth to where you want them to be. Since the aligners are changed every 2 weeks, it is important that you follow your own personal plan carefully.
  • Clear: The greatest advantage for adults using Invisalign® is the fact that the aligners are almost invisible. This means that you can be straightening your teeth for the required 22 hours per day in almost any situation without anyone noticing that you have on an aligner.
  • Comfortable: 86% of people who were polled stated that they were able to adjust to the Invisalign® aligner within a few days of receiving them, making this the most comfortable way to straighten your teeth ever invented.
