Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment for teens and adults alike that offers many benefits over traditional braces. Because they are removable, patients often find that they can keep their teeth cleaner during treatment and can continue eating their favorite foods. The aligners are clear, making them more aesthetically appealing as well. Although Invisalign offers many advantages over conventional braces, it may not be the right choice for everyone. Our dentist can help you decide if aligners are right for you.
Braces may be a better option if you need dramatic tooth movement or have a complex case. They may also not be a good option if you are susceptible to losing things. Invisalign aligners must be removed when you eat, drink anything other than water, or brush your teeth. This means that they can easily get misplaced. While Invisalign Teen does offer some replacement aligners, regularly misplacing aligners can get expensive and can derail your treatment plan.
For Invisalign to work properly, you must be fully committed to following your treatment plan. You will need to wear your aligners for a minimum of 20 hours a day every day of the week, and you will need to switch aligners every two weeks. Skipping a few hours of wear-time or forgetting to change to the next set of aligners can lead to delays.
