6 Reasons to Stuff Your Stocking with Invisalign

If you are good at self-care and never skimp on gifting yourself at holiday time, this year consider stuffing your stocking with Invisalign. This customized cosmetic dentistry treatment is the modern-day version of braces, without the fuss. Haymarket Invisalign provider LifeTime Smiles offers up just some of the many reasons to say yes to Invisalign this holiday.

1. The aligners are clear.

Invisalign is practically invisible. The aligners are so thin and clear that they snap snugly onto your teeth and no one will ever notice you’re wearing them.

2. Treatment is fast.

Unlike conventional orthodontic treatment with metal braces, Invisalign takes an average of 12 months to complete. Some cases will be shorter – and the less-complicated cases may qualify for Invisalign Express. Other cases will take longer. It all depends on where your teeth are now and where they need to move to, as well as your adherence to your treatment plan and Invisalign provider’s instructions.

3. No food restrictions.

Ask any braces-wearer what drives them bonkers about their metal mouth and, chances are, their first answer will be that they can’t eat what they want. Because Invisalign is removable, you have zero food restrictions. Invisalign-wearers can enjoy all the popcorn and peppermint bark and crunchy, chewy, sticky holiday foods they like without worrying about damaging any wires or brackets. Just make sure you brush and floss well in between meals and snacks.

4. They don’t interrupt.

December is a social month. Between neighborhood potlucks and work parties, school gatherings and drinks with friends, family dinners and special events, the last month of the year is all about getting together and smiling and eating and enjoying each other’s company. The last thing you want are braces interrupting a great meal, a necessary speaking engagement, or all that smiling. Invisalign stays in the background the whole time.

5. Selfies will be sweet.

If you don’t take 100 photos at holiday time you don’t take any. All those selfies, group shots, and candids will be that much better when your teeth look amazing. And they will look great, because Invisalign gets to work immediately. So your smile will be super and no one will see even a hint of braces in pictures.

6. You’re in charge.

It can be difficult to be at the mercy of conventional metal braces when you’re trying to correct your crooked teeth. With Invisalign, there are still rules to follow, but they can definitely be bent, something that’s really nice to be able to do when you have a special meal or occasion on the horizon. Invisalign works only as well as your dedication to it, so it’s essential to follow your Haymarket Invisalign provider’s instructions to the letter – but you also have room to take the aligners off when you need or want, and that little bit of freedom can get you happily through your entire treatment.
