You know you need braces. Thinking about sporting clunky metal teeth for a few years, your heart sinks a little. Then, luckily, you heard about Invisalign, sometimes referred to as Clear Braces.
Yes, lots of thoughts might have popped into your head while thinking about the fantastic alternative to metal braces:
Very common thoughts and questions:
“Yay, a clear, invisible option to straighten my teeth!”
“Wow, maybe no one will know about my braces and I won’t have to go into hiding!”
“Wait, but will it make me talk funny?!”
“Oh man, how much will those cost?”
“Geez, what if it hurts more than the painful metal option?”
“Will I have to deal with these much longer than metal braces?”
Here’s the real deal about Invisalign. Yes, they are a fantastic alternative to metal braces, and no, you won’t have to go into hiding during the process!
They are invisible because they are molded specifically for your unique mouth and have a very thin profile over your teeth. Because they are just snug enough to your teeth, you won’t talk funny, and they generally don’t hurt.
If they are painful, return for a recheck, as any pain indicates you need a simple adjustment.
The length of time required for Invisalign versus metal braces is often very similar, as both methods move the teeth incrementally until the proper bite is achieved.
Many think they must cost a fortune since they are such an incredible alternative to metal braces. You’ll be pleased to learn that Invisalign is often similar in cost to metal braces, depending on the severity of bite correction. Check out the Invisalign website to find much more info on how they compare to metal braces and a cost calculator. http://www.invisalign.com/
