Benefits of Invisalign Teeth Straightening
Treatment

• Invisalign teeth straightening treatment has many
  benefits. For example, patients are able to
  remove the aligners when eating, as well as
  brushing teeth, which leads to less discomfort,
  less mess, and cleaner teeth. This also allows
  patients to eat all types of foods. The trays are
  also quite low maintenance, and can be cleaned
  with a toothbrush and toothpaste every other day.
  The removable nature of the trays allows patients
  to brush and floss their teeth quickly and easily
  as well, which is great for oral and gum health.
• Invisalign are much more aesthetically attractive
  than unsightly metal braces. In many cases, they
  are barely noticeable and discreet.
• Invisalign are also much safer than traditional
  braces. In braces, protruding pieces of metal and
  wire can injure the mouth and lips. They can also
  decay teeth as well.

  straightening treatment is much shorter than
  traditional braces. For instance, while braces
  may be kept on for up to five years, in many
  cases, patients with Invisalign complete
  treatment within a year and a half.
• Finally, there are no surprises with Invisalign
  teeth straightening, in comparison with metal
  braces. This is because the treatment plan is
  fully computerized before it begins. Patients
  will know exactly what they should expect, as
  well as how long they will be wearing their
  appliance. Metal braces are often trial and
  error, with periodic adjustments.

  review sites, such as the Better Business Bureau
  (BBB) is another option as well. Browsing
  business websites and client testimonials can
  also help one choose the perfect practitioner.
  The reputation of the practitioner is one of the
  most important aspects when choosing an
  orthodontist. Do not rush this step.
• Once the practitioner has been chosen, ensure
  that you ask about education, experience, and
  qualifications. In addition, consider
  convenience. IS this office close to your home or
  office? Can you easily come in for regular
  appointments? Attempt to visit the office at
  least once.
• Make a note of the office environment. How is
  the atmosphere? Does it look clean? Are the staff
  courteous and professional? Do you feel
  comfortable?

Choosing the Right Invisalign Orthodontist

• For patients with children, ensure that the
  orthodontists practice is family friendly. Will
  the orthodontist explain the process to your
  child or teen? Will your children know what to
  expect throughout the process?
• Finally, the cost of treatment must also be
  considered. Ensure that you are made aware of the
  costs upfront. Inquire if the office offers
  treatment plans or takes insurance. For patients
  struggling financially, this may require shopping
  around until you find an orthodontist willing to
  work within your budget. Some offices may offer
  discounts and deals as well.
