6 Smile Wins Only Dental Invisalign Clear Aligners on Teeth Can Pull Off

If you want straighter teeth but aren’t delighted with the idea of bulky and uncomfortable traditional braces, Dr. David Matney at Ballson Dental Care has a solution that you will be excited about: Invisalign clear aligners. They’re nearly invisible and comfortable. What’s not to love? 

1. Discreet Teeth Straightening with Clear Aligners on Teeth

If you missed out on braces as a teen, you also missed out on some of the “fun” of having braces. Being called “metal mouth,” and flashes of silver in your school photos. And now that you’re an adult, you probably have some seriously valid reasons for wanting to discreetly straighten your teeth. Things like work and your social life. With clear aligners, your life (and your smile) isn’t made awkward.

2. More Comfortable Than Traditional Braces

Compared to metal braces, Invisalign clear aligners are super comfortable. They’re made from a smooth and flexible thermoplastic material called SmartTrack. No sharp metal edges to poke or scrape the inside of your cheeks and gums. Also, there is less irritation and fewer uncomfortable adjustment appointments. 

3. Removable for Your Convenience

One of the things people love most about Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. When it’s time to eat, just remove them and eat your favorite food. Zero food restrictions. Hello, popcorn or corn on the cob!

But perhaps most importantly, you can also take them out for brushing and flossing your teeth. This means you don’t have to do dental floss gymnastics to do a good job of clearing your teeth. You must be sure you wear them for about 22 hours a day for them to work.

4. A Straighter Smile in Less Time

With Invisalign, you may be able to have your new smile faster than you think. Everyone’s situation is different, but most people finish their Invisalign treatment in 12 – 18 months. This is vastly different from the journey with traditional braces, which can often take two years or even longer to get the job done. 

5. Invisalign Can Fix Various Orthodontic Issues

Invisalign is great for fixing a whole range of orthodontic issues you might be dealing with, like:

• Overcrowded teeth
• Teeth that are misaligned
• Gaps between your teeth
• Overbite
• Underbite
• Crossbite
• Open bite

6. Fewer Required Dental Visits

If your schedule is already packed, you’ll be happy to know that Invisalign treatment means you don’t have to go to the dentist’s office as much as you would if you had traditional braces. You’ll get several sets of aligners at once and just switch to the next one at home, every week or two. You’ll still have check-ins with us periodically so we can stay on top of your progress.
