Let’s face it: we all want straight teeth. But not all of us have the time, desire, or circumstances to get braces. If you find yourself in that kind of situation it can be easy to get frustrated: you deserve a straight smile you love, so surely there has to be an alternative!
There is at Really Smile Dentistry! We’re thrilled to be able to offer Invisalign, an advanced short-term orthodontic solution that can straighten your smile without compromising your look! Even better, you could get a straight smile in just about a year.
Why Choose Invisalign? The Top Three Reasons
There are plenty of reasons to choose Invisalign as your short term orthodontic solution. Today we want to focus on three reasons we hear from most of our patients. With any luck you’ll find the exact reason to motivate you to perfect your smile at our Indianapolis dentist office!
#1: It’s Completely Unnoticeable
Sure, we say it’s invisible, but is it really? You would be amazed at how invisible Invisalign actually is. We’ve even had patients come in for an Invisalign checkup and we’ve had to ask whether they’re wearing their aligners!
Made of clear, thin plastic that perfectly fits your teeth, invisalign is truly unnoticeable throughout the entire course of treatment. You also replace your aligner every two weeks, which means that scratches, dings, and wear is all eliminated nearly as soon as it could happen.
Invisalign also hugs your gumline perfectly so that it blends seamlessly with your teeth. Our patients have been amazed that even friends and family didn’t notice they were wearing their aligners, and that’s the exact reason to get them: no one will notice unless you point it out!
#2: Keep Your Day-To-day Habits The Same
For many orthodontic patients the biggest problem with braces is the change in their daily lives. There’s the need for special brushes to get between braces and teeth, they can’t eat certain foods, and keeping their teeth clean is far more difficult. Those problems exist for traditional braces but not for Invisalign.
You wear your Invisalign aligners 22 hours out of the day. That gives you enough time to eat your meals and brush your teeth without wearing your aligners, so your day-to-day life won’t need to change at all! You’ll be able to keep your mouth just as clean as before, eat your favorite foods without a problem, and simply live without interruption: a great bargain for straighter teeth!
#3: Shorter Treatment Time
One of the most obvious advantages to Invisalign is how much faster it can be vs. traditional braces. Even some complicated cases can find resolution in about a year – that’s half the average duration for braces. Imagine getting your Invisalign treatment started today: it would probably be finished in time for the start of 2017!
For so many patients treatment duration is important. We want you to get the results you want in the time frame you want and with Invisalign it very well may be a possibility! Because Invisalign is designed to make significant treatment progress on a two-week interval your braces can be finished faster than with the average monthly adjustment to your regular braces.
Invisalign movement is kind of a “stop and go” sort of progress for your teeth. A new aligner pushes them into a straighter position, and then they have a couple weeks to relax into shape. This allows for a bit of healing as treatment progresses, meaning that your teeth are more caught up and ready to stay in place more quickly and reliably!
