While preparing for an interview, can you imagine buttoning your blouse for work, throwing on a beautifully tailored blazer, and smiling in the mirror to see…. metal braces? When it comes to a polished, professional appearance, traditional braces can damper your style and your confidence. There have been studies that have shown that Americans perceive those with straight teeth to be 45% more likely to land a job opportunity compared to those with crooked teeth. If you’re trying to get ahead in life, you need a bright, straight smile to help you get there. Invisalign is offered by your dentist in Waverly for patients that want to maintain that professional look while still getting spectacular results.
The Many Benefits of a Straight Smile
Having a straight smile has more than aesthetic benefits. Many patients may enjoy more benefits than they originally imagined, like these great things about straight teeth:
- Many patients improve their speech impediments after straightening their teeth.
- Patients may experience fewer headaches associated with misaligned smiles and TMJ disorder.
- Patients will experience less soft tissue injuries from protruding teeth.
- The home care for teeth become simpler as it’s easier to get in between teeth and remove particles and debris.
- Since the chances of developing other dental problems decrease, patient’s dental care bills tend to shrink.
- Patients smile confidently and feel better about themselves!
The Invisalign Series: Simple Straightening
Invisalign consists of a system of custom made aligners to guide your teeth into place discreetly. Your custom aligners apply a constant, gentle pressure that’s practically painless and practically invisible.
We ask that you consistently wear each set of aligners for about two weeks. We recommend only removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will shift until you’re happy with your improved, straighter smile.
Invisalign Offers Many Benefits Within Itself
Did you know that you only have to visit the dentist every few months with the Invisalign treatment? This is just one of several advantages Invisalign has over traditional orthodontics. You will:
- Experience an immediate boost in confidence knowing that your orthodontic treatment is practically invisible!
- Enjoy comfortable straightening from custom-fit aligners rather than sharp metal brackets and wires.
- Have the ability to eat your favorite foods because of the versatility Invisalign offers by being removable.
- Be able to keep your dental routine simple by removing your aligners to brush and floss your natural teeth.
You Don’t Have to Settle for Metal Braces
If you’ve ever discussed straightening your teeth, you’ve probably discussed metal braces the most. It’s true that traditional metal brackets and wires have been a tried and true way to straighten teeth for years, but with modern advancements in dentistry, you can now explore other options. Although braces are effective, you may have to deal with these disadvantages compared to Invisalign:
- Embarrassing orthodontic gear accented with bright colored elastics that stand out against your natural teeth.
- Uncomfortable forced shifts in teeth from frequent tightening appointments.
- Changing in your diet to avoid damaging hard or sticky foods.
- A more complicated dental routine that requires additional cleaning equipment.
