3 Questions to Ask When Considering Invisalign Clear Braces

Invisalign Clear BracesWant a great smile, but don’t like showing off your crooked teeth? Invisalign clear braces may be an exciting option if you’d like to fix your problem, while keeping your treatment invisible.

Invisalign is simply an aligner tray made of smooth, comfortable, BPA-free clear plastic, and is worn over your teeth for a gentle realignment. But this treatment may not be for everyone. Here are three questions to consider before making your decision:

Question #1: What do you want to correct?

This is the # 1 question to help you determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign clear braces.

Invisalign is best at treating these main types of tooth conditions:

  • Gapped teeth
  • Overbite
  • Underbite
  • Openbite
  • Crowded
  • Crossbite

If your case is too severe, Invisalign may not be right for you. Talk with us about other potential treatment options.

Question #2: How old are you?

Invisalign clear braces can be a great treatment option if you are an older teenager or adult. However, children do not make good candidates for Invisalign because they are still growing.

We’ve found both teenagers and adults enjoy Invisalign because it’s transparent, and makes eating along with brushing and flossing teeth, easier than with traditional braces.

Question #3: Will you make treatment a priority?

Invisalign is relatively easy to use, plus it can be removed, which is an option other orthodontics do not allow. However, you will want to keep Invisalign in your mouth 22 hours a day. You’ll be required to remove it when you eat or drink anything, except water. If you can be dedicated to your treatment, it will be a success.
