Invisalign Clear Braces

Straight, symmetrical teeth are important in today’s world of high expectations when it comes to your smile. And straight, symmetrical pearly whites are more likely to provide you with a healthier mouth, which in turn is more likely to help provide you with better overall health.

Deciding to straighten your teeth used to mean you had to wear braces or a retainer. Invisalign aligners are now prescribed more often because they are more effective and provide you with more comfort than traditional braces and retainers

What is Invisalign?

Scottsdale dentists know the hottest trend in the world of dentistry in recent years has been Invisalign treatments. This is a method of teeth straightening that rivals traditional metal braces in both effectiveness and comfort. Instead of inserting a metal bracket into a patient’s mouth, the dentist will insert clear, removable dental aligners that come in the shape of a mold. Each mold is custom-made to fit the individual patient’s mouth, and it works to straighten the teeth just like traditional braces do. In regards to the benefits of Invisalign, Scottsdale dentists explain why this method of teeth-straightening continues to be one of the most popular in the United States.

What are the Benefits of Invisalign?

• Invisalign offers patients a dual benefit in that it is more comfortable and more aesthetically pleasing when compared to metal braces.
• It is also much easier to work with, as it can be removed with ease (unlike braces that need to be tightened with wires). The straightening process actually requires the mold to be removed every two weeks, as a new mold will need to be inserted at these intervals until the procedure is complete.
• Invisalign tends to be most popular among adult patients, as they don’t need to worry about their physical appearance; it is often difficult to tell that the mold is in place. The amount of force that is applied by Invisalign is much less than traditional braces, which reduces the discomfort that is often associated with the latter. Likewise, patients don’t need to worry about getting food lodged in their mouth, as they can simply remove the mold when eating and drinking.

What is the Cost of Invisalign?

Scottsdale dentists will often advise patients on the cost of Invisalign treatments before making a decision as to whether it should be administered, as it is more expensive than traditional metal braces. It is important to note that some insurance providers will cover a portion of this cost, which means you won’t be spending all of it out-of-pocket.
