8 Awesome Things About Invisalign® You May Not Know

Thinking about straightening your smile, but don’t want metal braces? Invisalign® might be your new best friend. 

Our Invisalign-trained expert Aditi Saxena, DDS, at Austin Advanced Dentistry understands why these clear aligners have taken the orthodontic world by storm. Here are the many reasons that so many people like you ask for Invisalign:

1. They’re practically invisible

Not only are these aligners clear, but most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them. Invisalign trays are smooth and fit snugly over your teeth, so you can smile, talk, and take pictures with confidence.

2. You can eat whatever you want

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign doesn’t require any food restrictions. Just pop out your aligners before you eat, enjoy your popcorn, crunchy apple, or anything else you’d like, and then put them back in after brushing. 

3. Fewer dental visits

Forget the monthly wire-tightening appointments. With Invisalign, you’ll usually check in with Dr. Saxena every 6-8 weeks. That means fewer interruptions to your schedule.

4. They’re custom-made for your teeth

Each set of Invisalign aligners is 3D-printed just for your mouth using advanced scanning technology. That means a comfortable fit and targeted movement for faster, more precise results.

5. They help with more than just crooked teeth

Invisalign can also fix overbites, underbites, crossbites, gaps, and crowding. It’s not just about aesthetics — it can improve your bite and overall oral health.

6. They’re comfortable

You don’t have to deal with sharp brackets or pokey wires. Invisalign aligners are made of smooth plastic, so they’re way more comfortable than traditional braces. You might even forget you're wearing them.

7. You can preview your results

Before treatment begins, you can see a digital preview of how your smile will look at the end, which can be very motivating.

8. They work faster than you think

You should start seeing noticeable changes within a few weeks. It’s also possible to complete treatment in just 12-18 months — sometimes even less, depending on your case.

Next steps

If you’re a candidate for straighter teeth, consider Invisalign for a discreet, comfortable, and effective way to transform your smile without the hassle of metal braces. When choosing Invisalign, you can feel confident about your decision to go clear.
