Appearance – Invisalign trays are virtually invisible and will not detract from your appearance making them a great option for adults, teens and young adults alike.
Comfort – Invisalign trays are made of smooth plastic making them much more comfortable to wear without the brackets and wires of traditional braces with their rough edges and sharp wires. Each set of trays is custom made to fit your teeth and mouth.
Improved cleanliness – Invisalign trays are easily removable when it comes time to brush your teeth as well as cleaning the trays themselves, then just pop them back in. The convenience of being able to remove them to brush your teeth and the trays each time results in a much cleaner mouth and teeth when there’s no brackets or wires to deal with.
Saves time – Invisalign often only means a visit to the Orthodontist or Dentists’ office every 6 weeks which is good news for busy folks. Other options can take longer to straighten teeth and require more frequent visits then there’s the inconvenience of broken wires!
Safe and removable – Especially for those who play sports or are in Band Invisalign offers more comfort and free of the scrapes to their mouth of other options. Removable trays means they are more comfortable than other options to straighten teeth.
Eat whatever you want – This is a big one while other options restrict what you can eat, those hard, sticky or chewy foods are off limits. For those choosing Invisalign we say bring on all your favorite foods when you can simply remove them.
Better dental health – Wearing Invisalign trays eliminates the gaps and crowding of teeth making it much easier to care for your teeth during and after treatment. With better dental health there’s the added benefit of better overall health.
