Benefits of Invisalign: The Clear Choice

The stigma of metal braces from childhood is gone, replaced for older teens and adults with a much more attractive and convenient option in the form of invisible braces. It can be tough facing two years of metal braces, with wires that poke your cheek, food that gets caught in between, and those awkward smiles for photos. With our dental office in Saugus, you have an alternative that can cut treatment time in as much as half. That solution is Invisalign. Essentially, these removable aligners straighten your teeth little by little, month by month — on YOUR terms. You take them out to eat, so no food particles can get inside. Plus, they’re easy to clean and maintain. Our customized aligners are used in succession, working to gently correct your orthodontic problem over about a year, depending on your unique situation. Because of this, the pain and discomfort that come with regular adjustments of traditional braces are no longer a factor. Rather, Invisalign aligners are molded from plastic for a softer, more comfortable fit. Just like traditional braces, Invisalign can correct a variety of orthodontic problems, such as:

• Overcrowding
• Crooked teeth
• Cross bites
• Over bites
• Under bites
• Gaps

Perhaps the biggest benefits to Invisalign are the reduced treatment times and lack of unsightly metal wires and brackets. These inconveniences often discourage patients from looking to get braces, even though they know braces can produce beautiful, lifelong results, they are reluctant to get them for fear of looking unattractive or being riddled with cavities at the end of the treatment. That’s the beauty of Invisalign: you still get incredible results but in half the time and with no invasive treatments. Best part is, you can hardly see them when they’re in. In fact, we bet no one else notices unless you tell them! Simply change them out every two weeks for the next set until your teeth moved to the final desired position. If Invisalign sounds like something you would like to consider, call our office in Saugus today to schedule an appointment. You will be glad you did!
