A beautiful, straight smile can boost your confidence and enhance your overall appearance. Invisalign, a revolutionary orthodontic treatment, has quickly gained popularity as a discreet and effective alternative to traditional metal braces. In today’s blog, your Sheridan, WY, dentist talks about what it does, how to determine if you are a candidate, and the numerous benefits of straightening your teeth.

What is Invisalign?

In the past, the only path to straight teeth was using metal brackets and wires. With the advancement of technology, Invisalign created a remarkable system of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually shift and straighten your teeth. These aligners are virtually invisible, making Invisalign a popular choice among adults and young adults who wish to avoid the conspicuous look of traditional metal braces.

Am I A Candidate for Invisalign?

Determining if you are a candidate for Invisalign is best done through a consultation with our experienced team. However, here are a few general factors that may make you a good candidate for Invisalign:

  • Invisalign is effective in correcting a wide range of dental issues, including gaps, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and crowded or crooked teeth.
  • Invisalign aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours per day, and they must be removed for eating, drinking, and oral hygiene. If you are willing to follow these guidelines and maintain good oral hygiene habits, you may be a suitable candidate for Invisalign.
  • Invisalign is suitable for teenagers and adults whose growing teeth and jaws have reached a certain level of maturity. Each case is different and our team would love to access your child.

The Benefits of Straightening Teeth

Straightening your teeth with Invisalign offers several noteworthy benefits beyond an improved smile:

  • Unlike traditional braces, these remarkable aligners are practically invisible. This means you can straighten your teeth without feeling self-conscious about the appearance of metal in your mouth.
  • They are made of smooth plastic, making them more comfortable to wear than traditional braces. They are also less likely to cause irritation or soreness on the inside of your mouth.
  • The retainers are removable, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine without any restrictions. However, it’s important to wear them as recommended to ensure treatment progress.
  • Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Invisalign aligners can also be removed for brushing and flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene throughout the treatment process.
