Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?
Over the years, Invisalign clear aligners have treated over 12 million cases and has become one of the most popular ways to straighten teeth. Align technology created Invisalign to give patients the option to straighten their smile without the look of traditional metal braces. While Invisalign is a great alternative to braces there are some patients who are wondering if they are a candidate for Invisalign.
Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?
The Invisalign process can be broken down into 3 steps: meeting with your experienced orthodontist, transforming your smile with clear aligners, and keeping your smile beautiful. Invisalign is an amazing option for many patients, however, there are some requirements that patients should meet.
Responsibility
A major advantage of Invisalign is the ability to remove your aligners to eat and drink and also during special occasions. However, it also means that having Invisalign comes with a different level of responsibility and discipline than traditional braces. A good candidate for Invisalign has enough discipline to wear their retainers for 22 hours each day.
Discretion
Invisalign aligners are made of SmartTrack technology, a medical-grade material that took 8 years to perfect. The SmartTrack Material was created to provide an improved experience with clear aligners. The aligners are made with comfort, control, speed, and discretion in mind. Invisalign aligners are a clear and convenient way to straighten your smile, without the look and feel of metal braces.
