\"WomanDid you know that it\u2019s never too late to invest in a straight smile? Although braces are often viewed as a treatment for juveniles, 1 in 5 orthodontic patients are now over the age of 18. The increase in adults seeking treatment is attributed to less noticeable options for braces, like clear aligners. One of the most appealing benefits of Invisalign is its nearly invisible appearance, but aesthetics aren\u2019t the only reason adults are choosing it as an alternative to metal braces. Here are 5 other advantages you can enjoy with clear aligners.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

1. Quick Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The average treatment duration using traditional brackets and wires can take 2-4 years to complete. Invisalign offers quicker results. Most patients are finished with their series in about 12 months, depending on the number of aligners required. There are factors that influence the length of your treatment, like to complexity of your case. Generally, you can expect it to take longer if you have significant alignment issues. It\u2019s best to follow your dentist\u2019s recommendations correctly to ensure there aren\u2019t any unnecessary delays added to your plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. No Dietary Restrictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to avoid your favorite meals when choosing Invisalign. There are several foods you can\u2019t eat if you have metal braces, like popcorn, but there aren\u2019t any dietary restrictions with clear aligners because they are removable. It\u2019s best to take your aligners out if you have anything to eat or drink besides water. Before placing them back into your mouth, brush your teeth and rinse your aligners with water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Easy Oral Hygiene Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t need to worry about brushing and flossing around brackets or wires. Since the clear aligners can be taken out, your oral hygiene routine is virtually unchanged. Simply brush and floss as you normally would; however, don\u2019t forget to clean your aligners. It\u2019s best to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear antibacterial soap to prevent them from losing their transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Comfortable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your aligners are made from a plastic material, so there won\u2019t be any irritation to the inside or your lips or cheeks. Many patients report Invisalign to be more comfortable than metal braces because the aligners are smooth. Not to mention, they have a snug fit, so you don\u2019t need to worry about them slipping when you speak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Affordability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite what you may have heard, Invisalign is affordable for patients from all walks of life. Although every policy differs, many dental insurance<\/a> plans can help offset the cost while your dentist also offers financing options to align your teeth without draining your wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
