Continue your reading to decrease your negative emotions and reluctance in social gatherings.   

Misaligned or crooked teeth can make you feel shy at workplaces, especially in social gatherings. Getting rid of these misaligned or crooked teeth are much more comfortable now with the introduction of recent medical advancements. They can be straightened using either conventional or modern teeth straightening methods. However, traditional teeth straightening is not much popular now.

They are not much preferred today because the traditional braces have noticeable wires, brackets, and bands. This decreased demand for conventional teeth straightening treatment is because of advancements in the medical field. One of such medical advancement is an Invisalign treatment.          

Invisalign treatment Overview:

Invisalign treatment is a process of straightening your teeth with no notice to others. This treatment adapts a modern approach as it uses a series of clear, comfortable, removable, smooth and invisible plastic aligners which gently pushes back into its original place and thus straighten the misaligned or crooked teeth.       

Invisalign treatment doesn’t involve any brackets or wires. But you have to change the aligners every two weeks. Here are the few benefits that come up with Invisalign treatment:

       Barely noticeable

       Very comfortable

       Less intrusive

       Less periodic dental checkups  

       Quicker and effective results  

       Decreased irritation to the tongue

       Easy maintenance

       A shorter time frames


Requirements for Invisalign treatment

The following are the requirements that everyone must follow for using Invisalign:      

       Remove aligners before having meals

       Brush your teeth before and after meals

       Wear the liners down if you grind your teeth during nights

       Replace the worn aligners

       Must wear an aligner for at least 20-22 hours a day

Why Choose Invisalign treatment Over Metallic braces?

Choose Invisalign treatment over metallic braces as it provides various benefits over metallic braces, such as:   

1.     Appearance: Invisalign treatment makes your teeth look transparent whereas metal braces make them appear weak.

2.     Eating: Traditional braces create difficulty in chewing food and talking. However, invisible aligners do not cause any eating or chewing problems.                 

3.     Pain: Invisalign treatment is an entirely safe and painless procedure. Traditional braces can cause pain while attaching the spacers or separators.  

Cost of Invisalign treatment

The cost of Invisalign treatment varies from person to person depending upon the individual needs, location, and skills of dentists. The price is somewhat high compared to conventional metal braces. Schedule an appointment with a dentist to get clear insights into the treatment cost.

Many insurance companies include the cost of Invisalign treatment. However, it would be wise to check with your insurance company about the amount of total coverage. Meet your dentist and clear all your queries because Invisalign treatment can affect your overall quality of life and finance. 

Conclusion:    

Treatment time for Invisalign takes 9-15 months. Most people prefer Invisalign treatment for straightening their teeth because they are unnoticeable, removable and comfortable. Invisalign treatment is an excellent solution for both adults and children as it can make them feel more confident with an improved smile.
