Woman inserting Invisalign in Chula VistaEveryone deserves to have a straight, healthy smile. If you missed your chance for braces as a child or your teeth have moved over the years, brackets and wires aren’t the only options to improve your smile. 1 in 5 orthodontic patients is over the age of 18 thanks to less noticeable treatments, like Invisalign. Clear aligners are virtually undetectable, but did you know a discreet appearance isn’t the only reason more than 12 million people have chosen the alternative to metal braces? Here are 6 amazing benefits of Invisalign you will enjoy with the clear choice for a straight smile.

1. Comfortable, Precise Fit

Your dentist will use advanced imaging technology to fabricate a series of aligners that will fit your teeth like a glove. They will never slip or move from position. You won’t have to worry about any brackets or wires irritating the inside of your lips or cheeks because the aligners are smooth for added comfort. 

2. Easy Oral Hygiene Routine

Since there aren’t any brackets or wires to clean around, your brushing and flossing routine will remain virtually unchanged. Invisalign is removable, so you’ll clean your teeth normally. However, you will need to take the time to clean your aligners using a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear hand soap or mild dishwashing detergent.

3. Quicker Results

Although every treatment plan differs, most patients are finished with their series of aligners in about 12 months. The complexity of your case will determine the timeline for your treatment. You can avoid delays by following your dentist’s instructions, like wearing your aligners for at least 22 hours per day and switching to the next one in the series on time.

4. Less Time in the Dental Chair

You will spend less time in the dental chair because you don’t need appointments for adjustments. Instead, you will see your dentist every few weeks, so they can monitor the progression of your treatment.

5. No Dietary Restrictions

You can still enjoy your favorite foods, but you’ll need to remove your aligners when having anything except water. Brush your teeth and rinse your aligners before putting them back into your mouth. 

6. Covered By Dental Insurance

Dental plans that include orthodontic coverage can offset the cost of Invisalign. After meeting your annual deductible, you’ll have access to a set allowance to use toward the cost of your treatment, so you will pay less out-of-pocket. 

It is never too late to invest in an attractive smile. Invisalign in Chula Vista is the preferred choice among teens and adults to correct a variety of alignment concerns. Schedule your consultation today to see if clear aligners are right for you.
