5 Signs It’s Time to Get Invisalign

It’s always a good time to get Invisalign, but the right time is different for every patient. If you’re wondering whether you’re ready for this cosmetic dentistry treatment, consider the following signs and whether they apply to you.

1. You can’t stop thinking about it.

Invisalign can be like that shirt you saw and wanted but didn’t buy – and then you just keep thinking about it and thinking about it and wishing you had made a different decision. For some people, Invisalign is the thing they regret not getting. And now that you’re stuck at home in quarantine and looking more closely at your life as a whole, you’re ready to take the plunge.

2. What have you got to lose?

If there is one thing being stuck at home during a pandemic has taught most of us, it’s that you should go ahead and do the thing that scares you, that you’ve always held yourself back from doing. Invisalign is a calculated and proven risk – and it’s good for you. The result will be an aligned smile that looks better, feels better, and works better. What have you got to lose?

3. You envy other people.

You know friends, family, or colleagues who have Invisalign and love it. They are having great success with their treatment – and now they’re in quarantine, still straightening their teeth successfully while you are envious of their progress.

Or maybe you know people who have finished their treatment and are sporting gorgeous, straight teeth. They got them from Invisalign and you wish they were yours. You can make it happen for yourself.

4. You keep doing research.

Do you know everything there is to know about Invisalign, like how many hours a day you should wear the aligners (20 to 22) or how often you have to see your Haymarket Invisalign provider (about every six weeks) or whether you will need attachments (many people do)?

When you’re spending hours online researching the details of being an Invisalign patient and envisioning yourself in that role, that’s a good sign that you should learn more about Invisalign and whether you’re a good candidate for the treatment.

5. You’ve tried everything else.

It’s normal to have a smile with some imperfections. It’s normal to spend time and money trying to perfect your smile on your own. However, if you haven’t had any success and you’re tired of investing in methods that aren’t guaranteed, Invisalign could be the cosmetic dentistry treatment that makes the real difference.

Your aligners will be customized to your teeth and mouth so everything moves when and where it’s supposed to. And if you combine Invisalign with a professional teeth whitening treatment too, you’ll really have a stunning smile at the end of your plan.

If you are interested in Invisalign, you need to find out if you really are a good candidate for this orthodontic alternative. Contact Haymarket Invisalign provider Dr. Sina Reangber at LifeTime Smiles to talk about your options.
