Are You The Right Candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign is a custom-made aligner and is used as an alternative to traditional braces. The dentist will give you a new set of Invisalign generally every two weeks for a duration of six to eighteen months.  The fitting pattern of Invisalign for each patient is different. Invisalign is made of high-quality BPA-free plastic and is colourless that makes them almost invisible. Unlike the braces, you can remove them when brushing, flossing or eating something. Invisalign has many benefits over traditional braces, but there are some limitations too. To get Invisalign, you need to be the right candidate; not everyone can get Invisalign. You can decide if Invisalign is right for you or not based on these considerations.

How Severe is Your Teeth Condition?

Invisalign is used to cure several teeth problems like gapped teeth, crowded teeth, overbite, underbite or crossbite. Various mild bite and gap problems can be treated by an Invisalign. But if you have serious misaligned and gapped. Severe condition like a large overbite or any other severe problem is difficult to be treated. So for only such mild cases, Invisalign can be used effectively. Consult our dentist for a better solution.

How Old are You?

Invisalign best suits for people in the age group of old teenagers and adults. Invisalign is not suitable for children and teenagers as their teeth are still in the development stage. So with such changes, getting the right Invisalign would cause a child or teenager discomfort. Old teenagers are more self-conscious and always need to look fashionable, so with transparent Invisalign, they would get that look. An adult doesn't want to feel like a teenager again, so they won't agree with braces. So, adults can opt for Invisalign over braces. Invisalign will also make them appear decent, especially at the workplace.
