But one of the first questions many people have is, \u201cI\u2019m not sure if I\u2019m a good candidate or not. Will it work for me?\u201d Keep reading to find out which issues Invisalign can correct and learn about the many benefits it provides, besides the most obvious advantage of being invisible!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Flexibility<\/strong>\u2013 To get your results on time, you have to wear your trays for 22 hours per day. However, you do have the flexibility to remove them for special events such as a wedding or job interview, and you won\u2019t have any dietary restrictions the way you would with traditional braces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Results are usually faster <\/strong>\u2013 Oftentimes, Invisalign is faster than traditional braces (the <em>average<\/em>is 9-18 months, as opposed to 12-24 months for metal braces).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cleaner teeth and gums <\/strong>\u2013 Since you\u2019ll remove your trays beforehand, brushing and flossing is <em>so much<\/em>easier than in metal braces. When your treatment is done, you\u2019ll be more likely to have a smile that\u2019s both healthy and beautiful.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Comfort<\/strong>\u2013 Invisalign aligner trays are smooth and comfortable, so you won\u2019t have to deal with irritation to your lips and cheeks.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What Kind of Issues Can Invisalign Correct?<\/h2>\n<p>Invisalign works on the same principle as regular braces by applying pressure to the teeth, moving them into their ideal positions over time. It can correct many different mild to moderate alignment issues, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An overbite or underbite<\/li>\n<li>Crowding<\/li>\n<li>Gaps<\/li>\n<li>Open bite<\/li>\n<li>Mildly rotated teeth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Are You a Candidate For Invisalign?<\/h2>\n<p>Everyone has a unique case, so the best way to determine if Invisalign is right for you is to schedule a consultation with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbdentist.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign-certified dentist<\/a>. Here are some of the factors they\u2019ll look at before making a recommendation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Severity<\/strong>\u2013 For more severe issues, traditional braces may be necessary to give you the best results. Examples include severely rotated teeth or cases in which the lower jaw itself needs to be significantly shifted.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oral health<\/strong>\u2013 If you have untreated cavities or active gum disease, a dentist will likely recommend addressing those needs first.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Age &amp; Compliance \u2013 <\/strong>Since it\u2019s critical to wear the aligner trays at least 22 hours a day, discipline and a commitment are important. That\u2019s why, generally speaking, Invisalign is a better choice for adults or young adults rather than young teens.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Fortunately, Invisalign works for the majority of patients. But regardless of which type of orthodontic treatment is right for you, straightening your smile is a great decision that will pay off for life.<\/p>\n<h2>About the Author<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbdentist.com\/meet-dr-bancroft.html\">Dr. Joanne Bancroft<\/a>\u00a0 is an Invisalign-certified dentist in Westminster who is thrilled to offer an alternative to traditional braces that still provides fantastic results.
