Straighten Your Smile in 2019 with Invisalign in Edison

It’s a new year! It’s time to make a fresh start for yourself. What would you like to accomplish? Do you want to feel better about yourself and improve your health? Well, one way you can do that is straightening your teeth with Invisalign in Edison. Now is the perfect time to give your crooked or misaligned teeth a makeover and have the smile you’ve always wanted!

Why should I straighten my teeth?

Did you know that straightening your teeth can help your oral health? It’s true. Crooked or misaligned teeth make it more difficult to brush and floss effectively. Think about all the nooks and crannies where plaque and harmful bacteria can hide! Straight teeth provide the most ideal setting for maintaining oral health.

Why is Invisalign a good choice to straighten my teeth?

Although you could choose traditional braces to straighten your teeth, but there are several downsides, all of which Invisalign directly addresses. Traditional braces include bulky metal brackets and wires that can be difficult to maintain, require frequent dental visits for adjustments, take a long time to achieve the final results, and restrict what you can eat during treatment. In contrast, Invisalign has the following benefits:

• The clear aligners are easy to maintain. You only need to brush them gently and rinse them out at night.
• You can continue the same oral health habits with Invisalign. Braces make it more difficult to brush and floss effectively.
• You have the freedom to eat whatever you want. The aligners can be removed for eating, so you can enjoy all your favorite foods. Just brush when you’re done and put the trays back in. It’s that easy!
• Invisalign is barely noticeable when worn.
• If you or your teen plays sports, especially contact sports like basketball, you can use a normal mouth guard, whereas with traditional braces, you’d need one specially made.
• While treatment with traditional braces can take between 24 and 36 months, Invisalign treatment lasts between 12 and 18 months.
• For most patients, Invisalign costs about the same as braces.
• Although you do have occasional visits with your dentist with Invisalign, they are much less frequent than adjustment visits with braces.

How does Invisalign work?

After you and your dentist in Edison have decided that Invisalign is the right choice for you, they will take an impression of your mouth and create your own treatment plan. That information will be used to create custom-made trays that will be shipped to you. These clear aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day to gently guide your teeth into a slightly more straight position. About every two weeks, you’ll replace the trays with new ones, bringing you one step closer to straight teeth. You’ll go into your dentist’s office about every six weeks to make sure you’re progressing and to make any necessary changes to your treatment plan.

Take advantage of the new year to give yourself the straight smile you’ve been dreaming of. Not only will Invisalign give you a confidence boost, but you’ll also get to enjoy better oral health. Make 2019 the year that you changed your life for the better. If you have questions about Invisalign in Edison, schedule a consultation with your dentist.
