What Is Invisalign?

This orthodontic treatment uses a series of clear, removable trays to shift teeth into their proper position gradually. Compared to braces, which use brackets and wires attached to the teeth, Invisalign’s aligners are practically invisible. They are also more comfortable since they don’t rub against your gums and cheeks as metal braces can.

The main difference in how they work is that with traditional braces, your orthodontist manually adjusts the wires periodically to move your teeth slowly over time. With Invisalign, you simply switch out sets of clear aligners every few weeks until you’ve reached the desired results.

Invisalign can improve your life in many ways. If you’re unhappy with your smile because of minor cosmetic issues, Invisalign can help you correct those issues without anyone noticing until you feel more confident about your appearance.

Why should you get Invisalign?

If you’re unhappy with your smile because of some minor cosmetic issues that might be holding you back from dating or finding a job, getting Invisalign will allow you to correct those issues without anyone noticing until you feel more confident about your appearance again.

Invisalign is also a great option if you have issues with your teeth, like unevenly-shaped teeth, dental gaps, or crowding. It’s also an excellent choice if you’ve had orthodontic treatment as a child and need to make some minor adjustments or if you’re an adult and have had braces as a child.

How does Invisalign work?

First, you’ll go to your orthodontist for a consultation. Your orthodontist will create a customized treatment plan based on your needs, and you’ll get a set of Invisalign trays that you’ll wear daily. The Invisalign trays have removable clear, plastic aligners that will slowly move your teeth into the desired positions.

You’ll wear the trays for 22 hours per day and take them off only to eat and drink. Your treatment time will depend on the severity of your case. Dr. Morra and her orthodontic team in Surrey will be able to give you an accurate estimate of your particular orthodontic journey.

Benefits of Invisalign

Invisalign is a great choice for people looking to improve their smile without anyone noticing. The following are the benefits of Invisalign:

It’s unnoticeable

The aligners are made of clear plastic, which makes them nearly invisible. This is a big advantage over traditional braces, which are made of metal and very noticeable. The materials used in Invisalign are also very comfortable, so you don’t have to worry about the brackets rubbing against your cheeks or gums. People won’t notice that you’re wearing Invisalign unless you tell them.

You can take them out comfortably

Another big advantage of Invisalign is that you can take the aligners out whenever you want. This means you can eat whatever you want and brush and floss your teeth easily. With traditional braces, you have to be careful about what you eat and how you brush and floss your teeth, which can be a hassle.

Allows you to eat and drink without restrictions

You’ll be able to eat whatever you like while wearing Invisalign. There are no restrictions on what you can and can’t eat during orthodontic treatment. This gives you the freedom to eat the foods you love without worrying about damaging your braces. Isn’t this great news?

You get a beautiful smile

You’ll have a more beautiful smile thanks to Invisalign, whether you have slight tooth misalignment or a small gap between your teeth. You’ll feel more confident with straight teeth, which can help you make a good first impression, and improve your overall lifestyle.

Fix Dental Problems

Invisalign can fix dental problems such as overcrowding, gapped teeth, and misaligned teeth. You don’t have to live with these issues anymore. You can get the treatment you need to fix your smile and improve your oral health. Having Invisalign allows you to brush and floss more effectively, leading to better oral health. More importantly, they help prevent gum disease and tooth decay.

Customizable

The Invisalign system is customizable to your orthodontic needs. You’ll get a treatment plan specifically designed for you, and the aligners will be made to fit your teeth perfectly. Patients have different orthodontic needs so the Invisalign system can be tailored to each individual.

Boosts confidence

Invisalign can give you the confidence you need to show your smile to the world. You no longer have to feel self-conscious about your teeth. You can be proud of your smile and feel good about yourself. You don’t have to worry about people noticing that you’re wearing braces when you choose Invisalign. The aligners are clear, so they’re practically invisible. You can smile and laugh without feeling self-conscious.
