Why Choose Invisalign – Convenience, Speed, Affordability
Invisalign has revolutionized orthodontic treatment since its introduction, offering a discreet and effective alternative to traditional braces. Available in Canada since 1999, Invisalign has gained popularity among teens and adults for several compelling reasons.
At Kits Family Dental in Vancouver, BC, we have several dentists who can offer Invisalign.
Why choose Invisalign? One of the primary advantages of Invisalign aligners over traditional braces is their virtually invisible appearance.
Unlike traditional braces, which use metal brackets and wires, Invisalign aligners are made of clear, smooth plastic. Aligners are 3-d printed! This feature makes them much less noticeable, allowing wearers to feel more confident throughout their treatment period. Especially for adults in professional settings and teens concerned about their appearance, this option is often a deciding factor.
Comfort is another significant benefit of Invisalign. The aligners are custom-made to fit snugly over the teeth, with smooth edges that don’t irritate the gums or cheeks like traditional braces can. This makes them more comfortable to wear, reducing the likelihood of sores or discomfort often associated with braces. While you should wear your aligners 20 hours a day (it matters!), you can take them out quickly when eating and drinking so they don’t get discoloured. Note that aligners are sometimes very tight for the first 36 hours of a new tray, but you will quickly get used to how to get them in and out.
In terms of convenience, Invisalign offers flexibility that traditional braces cannot match. The aligners are removable, allowing wearers to take them out for eating, brushing, and flossing. This eliminates dietary restrictions common with braces and makes oral hygiene easier to maintain throughout treatment. You usually change your aligners each 7-10 days (your dentist will advise you!), and then you’ll get new clean ones.
Treatment time with Invisalign can also be comparable or even shorter than with traditional braces, depending on the individual case. Advances in technology have enabled more precise and predictable tooth movements with Invisalign, leading to efficient treatment outcomes.
For both teens and adults wanting straighter teeth and improved bite, choosing Invisalign provides a modern, comfortable, and discreet option that aligns with their lifestyle and aesthetic preferences. By choosing Invisalign at Kits Family Dental, patients can look forward to straighter teeth and a confident smile without the drawbacks of traditional braces. Please contact us for a consultation.
