Why Invisalign is your your best option for
Orthodontic Treatment this pandemic?

For over a year, people all over the world have all been struggling with adjusting to this “new normal”; and somehow, we may have forgotten that there are still so many reasons to SMILE. 

But, what happens when we can’t smile? Even worse, what if we simply WON’T smile? 

Many of us have been stuck at home – in meetings and on video calls all day, with minimal physical human interaction; and yet, the level of self-esteem or the way that we project ourselves with people hasn’t seem to have changed, despite the distance this pandemic has created – only because we find it hard to show our teeth!

Invisalign aligners can be a great alternative to braces

When you think of braces, all too often it is associated with being ugly, or having metal in the mouth; we hear plenty of negative feedback on how much it hurts and how long it takes. Having to see your dentist every three to four weeks for an estimate of two years can be quite taxing too. In some cases, people don’t even complete their treatment because of the discomfort they feel throughout the process when using conventional orthodontics. 

That’s definitely a lot to take in but there is an easier alternative. Times have changed: and it’s no secret that Dentistry and Orthodontics has grown exponentially with new technologies and easier ways to straighten your teeth. This is where Invisalign comes into the picture.

How Invisalign works

Invisalign is a clear, removable orthodontic appliance that straightens your teeth without the help of any metal wires, or fixed brackets. This appliance is created with a digital scan and simulation of possible outcomes for your teeth, making it a more personalized option. It uses their own software and technology to get the best results, which they continuously update to give you the best treatment outcome possible. The best thing is – you don’t even need to see your dentist as often to make adjustments here and there because all of the features that make your teeth move are built-in to your aligners. This is considered as the most conservative, comfortable, and esthetically pleasing way to straighten your teeth. We can also consider that it would be safer during a pandemic since it requires less visits to your dentist. 

All things considered, getting your teeth fixed and on the road to your “dream smile” is definitely a commitment that’s worthwhile; and with Invisalign, we know that it makes all the difference. You can secretly straighten your teeth before we all go maskless! Schedule with our dentists, and discover your options today!
