What Are the Benefits of Invisalign®?

Invisalign® is clear so it is practically invisible

The aligners are clear so your treatment is not conspicuous or distracting.

Invisalign® is comfortable

There are no sharp metal or wires that can hurt the lips or cheeks. The aligners are easier to adapt to and because there are no wires to adjust, your dental visits can be less frequent.

Invisalign® is convenient

The aligners can be removed easily for eating and cleaning of the teeth. You can eat and drink normally. And you can brush and floss normally.

Is Invisalign® Suitable for Everyone?

Is there an age limit?

Invisalign® can be used on permanent teeth in adults and teenagers. It is fine for correcting moderate crowding and spacing. It can also be used for correcting relapses where orthodontic treatment had been done previously. Invisalign is great for adults who have always wanted to straighten their teeth but did not want to wear conventional metal braces.

Invisalign is the Clear Solution for committed individuals seeking discrete treatment.

Note: Invisalign is one method of straightening irregular teeth. Whether your condition is suitable for Invisalign treatment is a decision that can solely be made after a dental examination, evaluation of your records and understanding of your needs.

How Do I Know if Invisalign® is For Me?

As for any kind of orthodontic treatment (treatment to straighten teeth) you must first make an appointment for an orthodontic consultation. After your models, photos and X-rays have been studied, your condition, possible treatment options and of course, the fees will be discussed with you.
