Are Invisalign® Clear Braces Right for Me?

Does the thought of wearing metal braces for years have you reconsidering orthodontic treatment? Think again! Invisalign^® may be the perfect alternative to braces. Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment option that uses a series of clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. 

We all know that traditional metal braces are effective, but they also come with challenges, such as avoiding certain foods to not damage the appliance or making oral hygiene more difficult for some patients. Invisalign can provide effective treatment, often offering faster results and shorter treatment times than metal braces, but it depends on the severity of your case.

Benefits of Invisalign & How it Works

• Achieve Faster Results: Compared to traditional braces, Invisalign can provide faster results and require less time for treatment.

• Boost Self-Esteem: Patients feel more comfortable in social situations when wearing clear aligners that are nearly invisible rather than traditional metal braces.

• Comfort: It’s often common to need some time to adjust to new appliances in your mouth. Invisalign aligners are often more comfortable as compared to traditional metal braces. Metal brackets can have sharp edges that might irritate your cheeks, while Invisalign attachments do not cause any irritations.

• Normal Eating and Drinking: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign allows you to eat and drink as you normally would because the aligners are removable. You can take them out when eating, so there are no dietary restrictions.

• Easier Oral Hygiene: Maintaining good oral hygiene is simpler with Invisalign. You can remove the aligners for brushing and flossing, ensuring you can keep your teeth and gums healthy throughout the treatment.

• Regular Dental Cleanings: Invisalign treatment doesn’t require appliance removal for regular dental cleanings. You can still visit Dr. Kau for routine checkups and cleanings without any inconvenience.

How does Invisalign treatment work? After beginning the treatment, you will receive a set of personalized aligners made from SmartTrack® material from our office. You will then wear the aligners for 20-22 hours daily, and that’s it! Most people won’t even be able to tell you are undergoing orthodontic treatment.
