If you’ve ever struggled with crooked teeth, an overbite, or other imperfections in your smile, you’ve probably wondered about your options for a better smile. With Invisalign®, it’s never been easier to get a photo-ready smile, but there are a number of other benefits as well. To help you learn more, the specialists from Apex Dental Care in Issaquah, WA, have outlined everything you need to know about Invisalign.

5 Facts About Invisalign

1. It’s Safe

Invisalign is a treatment that uses BPA-free thermoplastic aligners. It’s safe and effective for most patients with dental problems, including crowded teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and gapped teeth.

2. It’s Clear

The aligners used in the Invisalign treatment process are clear, so they blend in seamlessly with the rest of your teeth. Unlike traditional braces, you won’t have to worry about Invisalign drastically changing your appearance.

3. It’s Great for Teens & Adults

With children, it’s hard to predict the size of permanent teeth that haven’t come in yet, so Invisalign isn’t recommended for them. But teens and adults are great candidates because their teeth have stopped growing. Likewise, clear aligners are perfect for adults wanting to correct their smile but hesitant about looking like a teenager with traditional braces.

4. Healthier Gums & Easier Cleanings

With traditional braces, it’s hard to avoid getting food stuck in your teeth and brackets, which can lead to plaque buildup. As a result, they require maintenance and care to prevent dental problems. With Invisalign, it’s as easy as removing your aligners during meal time. Invisalign also allows you to carry on with your regular dental routine, making teeth cleaning easy.
