Dental innovations are always quickly followed by imitations that are marketed as providing the same kind of “amazing” results at lower prices and greater convenience. As a result, it didn’t take long for Invisalign imitators to find their way onto the market. While online clubs – and even do-it-yourself methods – claim to save you time, effort, and money, what they neglect to offer is precision and safety.

Swimmer Michael Phelps is the most decorated Olympian in history, but he isn’t only known for his medal count – he’s also incredibly recognizable for his teeth.

The thing to do when you’re a teenager is complain about your braces. The thing to do when you’re an adult is complain about your health problems. But for Invisalign-wearers of any age, there isn’t a lot of complaining to be done. Invisalign is a straightforward orthodontic treatment, and even though it must be worn the majority of every day, the procedure still carries with it a level of freedom. People love Invisalign – for many reasons.
Invisalign can feel like a magical orthodontic treatment. You get to straighten your teeth without anyone knowing about it, thanks to the practically invisible aligners, and the alignment process usually takes less time than traditional metal braces. However, dedicating yourself to a complete Invisalign treatment includes an insurance policy that makes sure the straightening sticks – retainers. And if you choose not to wear your retainers your Invisalign treatment will have been a waste of time.

Braces are for teenagers, right? Not anymore! Invisalign has made it possible for people to get braces at just about any age, starting with those tween and teen years and moving right on up to middle age and beyond.
Braces are a commitment, whether you opt for traditional metal braces, clear braces, or Invisalign. While patients with brackets and wires attached to their teeth are definitely married to their orthodontic treatment, people who wear Invisalign may feel less pressure to follow the rules absolutely. This mindset is to the detriment of the wearer, so it’s important to know before you go all in with Invisalign exactly what kind of responsibility and behavior is expected of you.

Whether the wedding is a year from now, six months from now, or just around the corner, Invisalign can be your second maid of honor.
The coolest new innovation is 3D printing. Shows like Grey’s Anatomy have 3D printed organs and bones to heal people (on television, mind you) and now, a college student has 3D-printed invisible aligners to straighten his own teeth – and it cost him less than $60. Resourceful? Absolutely. A viral story? Indeed. Wise? Not on your life.

Invisalign braces can straighten teeth in about nine to 15 months. On average, an Invisalign-wearer undergoes one year of treatment. But along the way, the benefits of wearing Invisalign go far beyond just providing you with a smile that is in alignment, looks good, and is fully functional.Invisalign braces can help the wearer:
Invisalign treatment is typically shorter as an orthodontic treatment than traditional metal braces. However, the last day that you wear your Invisalign aligners is not the final day that you will have hardware on your teeth. Retainers are your present and future – and that’s a good thing.
