If you’re still not sure if Invisalign is the treatment for you, here are 6 reasons clear braces may be the option you’re looking for.
1. They Work Quickly
Every case is different, but depending on your needs, Invisalign can provide the smile you want in relatively little time. The average length of treatment is 9-15 months, a time period that varies with the complexity of your situation. Patients visit our office every 4-6 weeks to monitor their progress.
2. They’re Virtually Invisible
Clear braces straighten your teeth without the unpleasant appearance of metal brackets and wire. The custom-made trays are discreet, so you can straighten your teeth without drawing more attention to your smile.
3. Clear Braces Improve Oral Health
Crooked teeth don’t just shake your confidence, they can negatively impact your oral health. Crowded, misaligned teeth are more difficult to properly clean, and can therefore accumulate an excess of decay-causing bacteria.
Straightening your teeth can prevent oral health complications like cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. Additional oral health benefits include:
- Easier dental cleanings
- Decreased risk of trauma
- Corrected speech
- Improved biting and chewing
- Lower possibility of abnormal wear
Clear braces are a quick and easy route to a straighter smile and a healthier you.
4. We Offer Affordable Treatment
Clear braces are meant to make straightening your teeth easy, not expensive. With flexible financing options, Dr. Ragsdale and our team are here to find a payment plan that works for you. We offer a variety of monthly payment options with no interest or down payment.
A healthy smile should be accessible to everyone. Invisalign makes achieving the smile of your dreams possible.
5. It’s a Convenient Procedure
Since the trays are removable, clear braces are a convenient option to straighten your teeth without giving up the lifestyle you love. There are no snack restrictions, and you can easily play sports or attend important events.
It is essential to wear your aligners for 20-24 hours a day for the treatment to work correctly. However, this gives you some freedom to take them out for special occasions like weddings or picture days.
6. Increased Comfort
Invisalign works gradually, shifting your teeth over time and targeting different areas each week. You can expect to feel discomfort on the days you receive a new set of aligners, but overall, the smooth aligners are much more comfortable than traditional braces. Clear braces are wire-free, so there’s no pain from a broken wire, irritation of brackets rubbing against your gums, or the discomfort of getting them tightened.
