How Invisalign Can Help You Feel More Confident in Your Smile

Posted on September 19, 2024

Do you want a simple, convenient way to achieve a smile you feel proud of? According to the American Association of Orthodontists, there were more than 5.5 million active orthodontic patients in across North America in 2023, so you aren’t alone! Consider trying Invisalign, a teeth straightening method that uses clear aligners. If you use Invisalign, you’ll receive a new aligner once a month until you’ve completed treatment. You’ll be required to wear the retainers for most of the day, taking them out to eat and drink liquids aside from water. That aside, this treatment is more comfortable and less visible than traditional braces. The timeline depends on the person, but we’ve found that the average Invisalign treatment time is one year. Let’s dive into how Invisalign can help you become more confident in your smile!

Closes Gaps

Working with your orthodontist, you’ll create a mold of your teeth using a computer model to design your Invisalign aligners. If you have gaps in your teeth, these aligners will be designed to pull your teeth together. It can be slightly painful when you first put in a new aligner, but we’ve found that discomfort goes away quickly, usually within a day or so.

Straightens Teeth

These aligners also gradually straighten your teeth. If your teeth grew crooked and make you feel insecure, these aligners are a good way to straighten them affordably. Straightening your teeth at any age is a great way to increase your confidence!

Stays Discreet

Some orthodontics, such as braces, are very obvious. However, most people won’t even know you’re using Invisalign aligners because they’re clear and sit on your teeth like a retainer. You have to take them out to eat, but during the day it won’t be obvious to those around you that you’re wearing them, giving you a boost to your confidence that you may not enjoy with braces.

If you want to straighten your teeth to increase your confidence, Invisalign is a good route to take. It closes gaps in your teeth, straightens your teeth, and uses clear aligners that minimize orthodontist visits and questions about your smile. If you’re ready to try out this amazing product, contact Parker Orthodontics today to discover our affordable treatment options.
