Is Invisalign The Best Choice For Straightening Teeth?

With comfort, convenience, and overall shorter treatment time, Invisalign continues to be a very popular choice for many patients. With clear aligner trays that are removable and switched out every two weeks, individuals enjoy the flexibility of discreet orthodontic treatment that accommodates their lifestyle. Unknown to many, however, are the options offered by Invisalign, such as traditional, Teen, and Express treatments. Considering the ease of treatment and the many benefits associated with Invisalign, it’s easy to assume that it’s a great option for everyone. Yet, when asked, “Is Invisalign the best choice for straightening teeth?” –Dentists will likely say, Yes—for some patients.

While Invisalign is a highly effective treatment, it is a simple orthodontic measure generally geared to correct minor imperfections, serving an aesthetic purpose. On the other hand, braces are also highly effective, and are used to address more complex cases, such as moderate to severe malocclusions and bite concerns. In essence, braces accomplish two important goals—they help patients achieve a straighter smile, and they provide teeth with better functionality. Both of these lead to better oral health.

Talk To Your Dentist

It’s easy to see—an argument can be made for both Invisalign and other more traditional forms of orthodontic treatment, such as braces. Thus, it’s important to understand that it comes down to your personal treatment goals as a patient, as well as which treatment will contribute to better oral health for the long run. This is why you should talk to you dentist. Are you seeking a near perfect smile? Or, are you less interested in achieving a perfect smile, and more concerned with having a comfortable bite? These are important questions to consider, because there are advantages and limitations associated with every form of orthodontic treatment. A thorough understanding of these will help you make the most informed decision.
