\"If you\u2019re tempted by the idea of getting straighter teeth with discreet, clear braces, we totally understand. Many adults and older teens have benefitted from <\/span>Invisalign<\/span><\/a> — in fact, the clear braces system is now celebrating <\/span>4 million<\/span><\/a> patients served all over the world. Will you be next? Here\u2019s what you should know about Invisalign in Carlisle.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

#1: It Really Is Practically Invisible<\/span><\/h3>\n

By far the biggest advantage of Invisalign (and there are many) is that it\u2019s almost undetectable. Sure, friends and family closest to you may know you\u2019re undergoing orthodontic treatment. But acquaintances and those people you have brief exchanges with at work and at play? They\u2019ll probably be none the wiser. That\u2019s because the Invisalign\u00ae trays are made of smooth, clear plastic — and they\u2019re thin, so your lips don\u2019t puff out like with thick metal brackets. Invisalign really is a natural-looking, subtle way to enjoy straighter teeth. <\/span><\/p>\n

#2: It\u2019s About More than Just the Way You Look<\/span><\/h3>\n

Straightening your teeth benefits more than just the appearance of your smile — though that\u2019s a big motivator for undergoing orthodontic treatment. The truth is, teeth that line up the way they should promote better oral and overall health. They\u2019re easier to brush and floss, for one. And when your upper and lower jaw fit together the way they should, your TMJ (temporomandibular joint) is free of any undue stress. <\/span><\/p>\n

So if you\u2019re considering adult braces but don\u2019t feel like investing so much in a purely cosmetic treatment, know that orthodontics are also an excellent choice for your continued wellbeing, too. <\/span><\/p>\n

#3: Invisalign Is Convenient<\/span><\/h3>\n

From special cleaning techniques to frequent checkups at the dentist\u2019s, metal brackets and wires require a lot of maintenance throughout treatment. But Invisalign offers a convenient alternative. The removable trays allow you to eat what you want, and thorough brushing and flossing is just as easy as before you had braces. Invisalign also requires fewer visits to the dentist throughout treatment — so you can spend less time thinking about your treatment, and more time enjoying your straighter teeth. <\/span><\/p>\n

#4: Retaining Your Results<\/span><\/h3>\n

Just like with traditional braces, you will need to wear a retainer once you have completed your Invisalign treatment. Without it, your teeth will gradually move back to their original position — something you\u2019ve perhaps already experienced since you wore braces as a teen. Fortunately, the Vivera\u00ae retainer is as clear and comfortable as the Invisalign trays. You\u2019ll wear it for most of the day and night at first, but most patients only need to wear it at night after a few months of appropriate use. <\/span><\/p>\n

#5: Paying for Invisalign<\/span><\/h3>\n

Invisalign is more expensive than traditional metal braces, but most insurance companies cover this option at the same rate as traditional orthodontics. If your insurance plan covers metal braces, give them a call to find out if Invisalign falls under the covered options. We can also help you find out this information. <\/span><\/p>\n
