Straightening Teeth for Adults and Kids? 3 Big Reasons to Choose Invisalign

You've probably heard of Invisalign braces in Cleveland Solon. If not, maybe you’ve seen them in the past and didn’t know what they were or how they worked! Invisalign aligners are clear, removable plastic trays that straighten your teeth by gradually moving them over time.

They’re very different from traditional metal braces because they’re practically invisible! You might think that this doesn’t sound like something you need, but here are three reasons why you should consider it anyway. When you have straight teeth, you tend to smile more often – which also helps your mood and energy levels!

Every smile is unique, so your Invisalign treatment should be too. Unlike traditional braces, which use a more uniform approach, each Invisalign aligner is customized just for you. That means your treatment will be more comfortable, efficient, and effective than with other braces methods. And since Invisalign aligners are practically invisible, no one will even know you’re wearing them!

Invisalign is also a great option for kids braces. Because the aligners are easily removable, it’s easy to keep up with oral hygiene (brushing and flossing). And since they’re clear, they’re much less noticeable than metal braces, so you can feel confident about your smile during treatment and beyond.

On average, treatment with Invisalign® is faster than traditional metal braces. That’s because each clear aligner is custom-made for your teeth—so you don’t have to wait for brackets and wires to be adjusted. You simply move on to the next set of aligners every two weeks until your treatment is complete. Because treatment time varies from person to person, your Invisalign provider will be able to give you a more accurate estimate once they’ve had a chance to examine your teeth. Also, since they're removable, treatment time will vary depending on how long you keep them in per day. 

If you keep them in for a full 22 hours per day, then treatment will take less time overall.  But if you only wear them when you eat or brush your teeth, it may take longer to get the same results. There are also tradeoffs: Kids might not want to wear their aligners as often if they get uncomfortable or can't fit them into their mouths easily. Plus, while adults are free to remove their aligners whenever they like, kids won't be able to take theirs out as much as they want without supervision.

For the majority though, kids will still prefer the ease of use of Invisalign when compared to going to school every day with a mouth full of metal!

Invisalign braces are a great option for straightening teeth, especially if you're worried about how they'll look. They're also easy to use, so you won't have to worry about struggling to keep them clean. Plus, they're comfortable and virtually invisible, so you or your child can wear them with confidence. Invisalign aligners are at the new forefront of teeth straightening, with the goal of making the experience as smooth and comfortable as possible without having to sacrifice what you eat or drink.

There's also no need for the discomfort of food getting stuck in the braces, or for any glue to stick the braces to your teeth.
