20 Reasons to Start 2020 with Invisalign

If you’re looking for that one good reason to finally pursue a straight smile in the new year, we’ll do better than that. Here are 20 reasons to start 2020 with Invisalign from your Haymarket Invisalign provider, LifeTime Smiles.

1. Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible. No one will ever know you’re wearing these clear aligners them unless you reveal them.
2. Invisalign must be worn for 20 to 22 hours a day, but you remove the aligners for meals, snacks, and cleaning. No other braces can be taken off your teeth during treatment.
3. Invisalign moves tooth and tooth roots simultaneously, so treatment takes about half the time of traditional braces.
4. Really fast. Some patients with minor crowding or spacing issues are candidates for Invisalign Express, which only takes about six months to complete.
5. The technology behind Invisalign is incomparable – it does the work of metal braces without the visibility of metal braces.
6. Excellent for adults. Adults who want straight teeth without the metal mouth love the subtlety of Invisalign’s clear aligners.
7. Great for teens. Invisalign Teen is made with wear indicators to show the aligners are being worn as often as they’re supposed to be.
8. Customized for teens. Room is made in the aligners of Invisalign Teen for teeth that have yet to erupt so they straighten out as soon as they develop.
9. Irritation-free. While there will be some pressure as you get used to each new set of aligners settling on your teeth, there are no side effects like gums and lips being painfully jabbed and scratched with wires and brackets.
10. Invisalign can correct crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, crowding, large gaps, and crossbites.
11. No food restrictions. Traditional braces require you to give up the crunchy, sticky, chewy foods you love for the duration of your treatment. With Invisalign, you can remove the aligners and eat whatever you want.
12. Easy to clean. All you must do is soak and/or brush the aligners as instructed by your Haymarket Invisalign provider and continue to brush and floss your teeth normally.
13. You only need to see your Haymarket Invisalign provider every six to eight weeks for a checkup and to collect new aligners.
14. Some Invisalign patients notice that they lose a few pounds when they start wearing the aligners because they are more careful about what foods they’re willing to remove their aligners to eat.
15. Invisalign acts like a night guard, which is a great perk for patients who grind their teeth at night, protecting them from damage.
16. Improved speech. When teeth and jaw are in alignment, the teeth, tongue, and palate work together properly.
17. Better digestion. Straight teeth cut up food properly and break it down into manageable pieces that aid in digestion and minimize the chances of indigestion, ulcers, or other gastrointestinal issues.
18. Healthier teeth. When you straighten your teeth, it’s easier to clean them, which means you’re less likely to develop decay or infections.
19. Strong jaw. When you have misalignment or TMJ problems, Invisalign straightens things out and can sometimes eliminate clenching, grinding, and popping jaws.
20. Confidence boost. As you notice your teeth begin to straighten out and you aren’t encumbered by metal brackets and wires while the work is being done, your confidence will slowly and steadily rise.
