Key Benefits of Invisalign® Treatment
So many of us want orthodontic treatment, but braces can get in the way and make life more inconvenient. With Invisalign®, more patients can get the required orthodontic treatment while feeling more confident and comfortable. The following are some of the excellent benefits associated with choosing Invisalign®:
- Comfort: The smooth plastic aligners are more comfortable than traditional braces, since they aren’t made of metal wires and brackets that can irritate your cheeks and lips.
- Convenience: You will need fewer visits to our dental office, and there are rarely emergencies. Instead of needing “tightenings” and “adjustments”, you can change out your Invisalign® trays at home.
- Improved oral hygiene: Brushing and flossing with Invisalign® is easier than with traditional braces. You can remove the trays and do your smile cleaning routine normally, without specialized flossing tools.
- Faster results: Typically, patients who get Invisalign® finish their orthodontic treatments faster than those who get braces. For instance, some Invisalign® cases can see results in just six months.
- No dietary changes: Because Invisalign® is removable, there’s no risk of breaking a bracket during eating. This means you can primarily eat without dietary restrictions (which is not true for those with traditional braces).
- Discreet: Some patients feel embarrassed about getting braces, afraid of the extra attention they might receive. With Invisalign®, the fact that you’re getting orthodontic treatment is much less visible.
- Customized treatment: Invisalign® trays are made with a specific patient’s smile in mind, meaning they are custom-fit based on your digital imaging scan.
- Increased confidence: Not only does orthodontic treatment make a person’s smile healthier (yay for happy gums and teeth!), but it also realigns the teeth to be straighter and more esthetically pleasing.
Invisalign® is an excellent orthodontic solution for all types of patients, so choosing these effective clear trays over metal braces may also be the right choice for you.

What Is Invisalign® and How Does It Work?
Invisalign® is created by Align Technology, a company that makes clear orthodontic aligners – a popular alternative to traditional metal braces. Invisalign aligners are custom-made based on each patient’s smile, using a dental imaging from our iTero Lumina scanner. After carefully creating the treatment plan and making digital mockups, Invisalign® can make the final trays just for you. The trays are made of thin, clear plastic and must be changed every two weeks to a new set
Replacing the trays is the equivalent of tightening traditional braces in the orthodontist’s office. Your dentist will let you know when to change your trays and whether your timeline might change based on your individual check-in appointments.
Invisalign® also works similarly to braces, applying constant pressure to your teeth to shift and rotate their positions. Instead of pressure applied through metal brackets and rubber bands, patients often find that Invisalign® requires less initial adjustment and causes less discomfort. For example, patients with braces often need wax (to cover the metal brackets) to mitigate the pain they initially feel.
