The Top 5 Freedoms You Can Enjoy with Invisalign

To date, more than 12 million patients have chosen Invisalign. If you’re considering following their lead, but you haven’t quite signed on the dotted line yet, then you might find it helpful to learn about the many benefits that come with clear aligner treatment. To learn about the top five freedoms you can enjoy with Invisalign, read on!

1. Freedom to Eat

Are whole apples, crunchy pickles, tortilla chips, celery, or popcorn some of your favorite snacks? Good news: you don’t need to alter your diet with Invisalign because the aligners are removable! Just do your best to exercise caution when eating foods that have the potential to cause one of your attachments to come off and continue to keep your consumption of added sugar to a minimum.

2. Freedom to Smile

It’s no secret that metal brackets and wires are a bit of an eye-sore. As a result, many patients with traditional braces go to great lengths to hide them, like keeping their lips closed when they smile. Since the aligners are completely see-through, that’s not a concern with Invisalign! All you need to do is make sure that you take good care of your trays so unsightly stains don’t surface.

3. Freedom to Plan

With adjustment appointments every four weeks, patients with traditional braces often feel like their already busy schedule is a bit more constrained. The good news is that Invisalign check-in visits are usually every 6-8 weeks instead. That means you’ll have less time in the treatment chair and more time to check off the things on your bucket list!

4. Freedom to Brush

Although there is a bit of a learning curve with any orthodontic treatment, patients often have an easier time transitioning into life with Invisalign because the aligners are removable. That means that you don’t have to dedicate a significant amount of time to your oral hygiene regimen, and you don’t have to buy special oral hygiene products, like interproximal toothbrushes. You can just brush and floss like usual!

5. Freedom from Discomfort

Finally, Invisalign offers freedom from discomfort. That’s because – in addition to being metal-free – the aligners are high-quality, low-profile, and smooth. Plus, they are custom made just for you, reducing the risk of soft tissue irritation even further.
