If you’re ready to straighten your smile, improve your overbite, and feel more confident, orthodontic procedures might be on the table. If you’re weighing whether to choose traditional braces or clear aligners, Costa Dentistry in Great Falls and Ashburn, VA can help you decide.
Who is a good candidate for Invisalign? After providing cosmetic and orthodontic care to hundreds of patients, here’s our guidance on signs that you may need Invisalign instead of traditional braces.
Why Adults and Teens at Costa Choose Invisalign® Over Braces
Some of the top questions we answer about Invisalign include:
- Can I eat whatever I want while using Invisalign?
- Is Invisalign noticeable?
- Does Invisalign require fewer dentists visits than braces?
- Is Invisalign cheaper than braces?
- Clear Aligners Give Freedom to Eat Whatever You Want
Simply remove the aligner to enjoy any food you choose, without worrying about special cleaning tools or damaging your braces. Invisalign lets you keep your dental hygiene routine relatively normal—brush, floss, rinse, and wear your aligner.
- Invisalign® Is Less Noticeable Than Braces
Life doesn’t slow down often, and you may not want braces in photos for big events like job interviews, weddings, and public speaking opportunities. The Invisalign method allows you to keep your cosmetic dental goals behind-the-scenes.
- Aligners Work With a Busy, Demanding Schedule
Juggling work, school, and your family makes stopping for an appointment every few weeks, to tighten your braces a major challenge. With Invisalign, you will switch to a new set of clear aligners, on your own time at home, at the direction of a Costa dentist every few weeks.
- Invisalign Pairs Well With Cosmetic or Mild Orthodontic Needs
Clear aligners are a favorable and easy solution for mild-to-moderate crowding, small gaps between teeth, minor bite misalignment, or shifting after previous orthodontic treatment. View real results from Costa Dentistry patients that used Invisalign.
