Worried your teeth aren’t right for Invisalign? Be sure to have a consultation before writing it off – even severe crowding or spacing can be a good fit
Orthodontic treatment is an intense commitment, right? These days, the answer to that question isn’t always what you think. Alternative straightening helps patients of all ages find the kind of results they expect from braces, without the same kind of daily consideration and commitment. Whether your teeth have been crooked your whole life, or have shifted over time, Invisalign could help solve the problem.

How Invisalign Affects Daily Life
- You eat and drink as you please – Invisalign doesn’t dictate a strict diet. Instead, you just pop out your aligners when having a snack or a meal. Be sure to clean your teeth before putting them back in, and you’re good to go.
- You take out your aligners to eat, brush and floss – Whenever you need to access your teeth, you can do so. It’s as simple as taking out your aligners. As long as you wear them for 20-22 hours per day, you can eat, drink, and clean your teeth as usual.
- You visit the office every six weeks or so – Since you can switch to new aligners on your own, you don’t have to visit your provider as often as you would with metal braces.
- Your straightening is discreet and doesn’t impact your confidence – One of the best parts of Invisalign? The completely clear trays. Smile, speak, and live your life the way you always do, and no one will be the wiser (unless they take an extra close look at your teeth).
