Everyone who wears Invisalign or has gone through this treatment knows all the great things about it – the discreet way to straighten teeth, the comfortable option, the fast treatment, and more. There are plenty of other reasons to be thankful for Invisalign, and some of them might surprise you.
1. See Your New Smile Before Treatment Even Begins
One of the most exciting elements of Invisalign that many people are unaware of is that you can see what your new smile will look like before you even put that first aligner in your mouth. State-of-the-art 3D digital technology delivers an animated treatment plan that paints a picture of how teeth will look after treatment. You can see the results and decide at the start if they’re what you want – most people are highly motivated to pursue Invisalign when they see a digital map of what their teeth can one day become.
2. Experience a Stunning Boost to Your Self-Esteem
Your Red Bank dentist can tell you that your amazing smile will make you feel better about yourself, but many patients just take this line for granted. But it’s not a line – it’s the truth. Your self-esteem will blossom as your teeth begin to get straighter and straighter over the first several weeks of wear time.
3. If You Want to Eat Less, This Is a Great Way to Make It Happen
Many people struggle with losing those last few pounds or kickstarting a new diet. Surprisingly, Invisalign can help on both counts. Though you have all the freedom in the world to eat whatever you want, whenever you want, some patients find it cumbersome to remove the trays from their mouth, so they indulge in fewer snacks and save all their eating for mealtime. Others have sensitive teeth from the movement that Invisalign has initiated and they simply can’t bite down on certain foods. Either way, expect the scale to change a little in your favor off and on throughout treatment.
4. Kick Your Bad Habits
Have you been trying to stop drinking soda all day long? Have you wished you could minimize your coffee habit to one cup a day? Whatever your liquid vice, Invisalign can certainly get you moving in a new direction because you only have one choice to make – abstain from drinking any beverages that could stain or damage your aligners. The only thing you should be drinking while wearing the trays is water because it can’t do any harm – all the other treats must be ingested at mealtime or when you take the aligners out.
5. There Are No Surprises
One of the biggest surprises about Invisalign that many patients encounter is that there really are no major surprises. You know from the start how long treatment will take and how many aligners you’ll wear. You get instructions for caring for your trays and teeth and learn about how to make progress. Perhaps the biggest and most delightful experience is watching your smile change before your very eyes.
