Before the introduction of Invisalign®, patients seeking orthodontic treatment were restricted to traditional metal braces. While metal braces are effective in helping patients achieve straighter teeth, mature patients may find that they prefer a more discreet treatment. Invisalign® offers an alternative way to fix minor dental gaps and cosmetic issues. When compared to traditional braces, Invisalign® offers significant benefits, including:
Discreet Appearance
Since Invisalign® trays are clear, patients are able to maintain a natural-looking appearance during treatment. This is particularly beneficial for adult patients. Invisalign® is also a popular choice for those who need to correct small orthodontic imperfections; rather than getting full braces for up to 24 months, Invisalign® treatment can take as little as 6 months up to a year and produces great results.
Minimal Adjustment Period
The time it takes to adjustment to Invisalign® is minimal. Patients only need to get accustomed to having a covering on their teeth and the general tightness that accompanies new trays. Without the metal brackets and wires of traditional braces, the aligners are non-irritating on soft tissue.
Easy Maintenance
Unlike traditional braces, keeping your Invisalign® trays clean is simple. As the aligners are removable, you can easily clean them and your teeth after each meal. With the removable trays, patients don’t need to visit the orthodontist for adjustments quite as often. Instead, patients are instructed on when and how to change their trays on their own, based on the desired results.
Considerations before Committing
It is important to note a few things about Invisalign® before committing to the process: The results are patient-driven. If a patient wears the aligners for the recommended 23 hours a day and follows their orthodontist’s direction on changing trays, they will most likely get the results they looking for. Younger patients may have a difficult time remembering to reinsert the aligners after eating or in changing the trays on time. In following Invisalign® treatment, it is recommended to use a permanent retainer to keep your teeth in their new alignment, just as you would with traditional braces.

Your people are criminals. Lied about records. Lied to insurance and secretly tried to bill me 5x the cost months later, by adding a 60 day late fee. WHAT A JOKE. You're on Jamaica Avenue because you cut corners and I should of known what to expect. YOU can expect a class action lawsuit the moment more are gathered.
