According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry survey, 99.7 percent of adults think a great smile is an important social asset. A smile comprises a lot of the weight of the face. Straighter teeth give you more confidence when you smile in all interactions because a smile creates an immediate, subconscious, visual impact on people you meet. Having straight teeth is more than just aesthetics. Straight teeth allow you to speak clearly, while crooked and crowded teeth cause many speech impediments. Straight teeth help to chew and function better and to brush better. Overlapping teeth can trap food particles. Improved oral hygiene means less tooth decay and prevents gum disease, resulting in better overall health.

Invisalign is one of the most popular orthodontic treatments and dental innovations worldwide because of its multiple advantages and excellent satisfaction rate. It’s the best way to get your teeth straight. Invisalign can help correct crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and narrow arches. With the advancement of 3D printing, aligner trays have been proven to tackle patients’ bite and cosmetic concerns. Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible, smooth, easily removable, and comfortable. They allow you to acquire a beautiful smile without putting your life on hold or feeling the embarrassment of wearing metal braces. You also have fewer food restrictions with them and can eat whatever you want. 

During Invisalign treatment, your dentist will use custom aligning trays to fit the new alignment of your teeth. While the aligning trays are not nearly as visible as metal braces, you also have the option to remove the trays temporarily for special occasions, another benefit of Invisalign treatment. These Invisalign benefits have allowed countless patients to report complete satisfaction with the treatment and its results.

When your Invisalign treatment is completed, it is crucial to know how to keep your teeth straight and healthy. There are some essential tips on what to do after your Invisalign treatment:

• Once you stop wearing Invisalign, it is essential to wear orthodontic retainers to ensure that your teeth will not return to their old position. Your jaw should have enough time to keep your teeth in their new place while it’s rehardening. It takes six to twelve months for your body to build enough bone to stabilize them.
• Maintain good oral hygiene, brush with fluoride toothpaste, and floss once daily. The good thing is that straight teeth are easier to keep clean!
• Eat a well-rounded and healthy diet.
• Visit your dentist for regular checkups and cleanings.
• Wear a mouthguard when playing sports.
