Why More Teens and Adults Are Choosing Invisalign Over Traditional Braces

Invisalign has been growing in popularity among teens and adults wanting a discreet alternative to traditional braces. The world’s leading clear aligner system has transformed millions of smiles worldwide, delivering beautiful, lasting results. Dr. Singh and her patient-centered team at Bridget Singh, DDS, are happy to answer your questions, address any concerns, and help you get on track toward the smile of your dreams.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign by Align Technology works like traditional braces by placing consistent pressure on your teeth to move them into alignment over time. The difference is that Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners rather than metal brackets and wires, transforming your smile without impacting your appearance.

Invisalign offers an excellent orthodontic solution for most teens and adults seeking orthodontic treatment without the hassle of metal braces. It can address a wide range of concerns, including crowded, misaligned, and protruding teeth, as well as problems with the bite, such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. Invisalign can also be ideal for addressing relapses after previous orthodontic treatment. Dr. Singh will personalize every step of treatment to deliver a smile you love.

Why Choose Invisalign Over Traditional Braces?

The following are some reasons why Invisalign continues to grow in popularity day after day among teens and adults:

• Virtually Invisible: Invisalign offers a virtually unnoticeable alternative to traditional braces, aligning your smile without impacting your appearance.
• More Comfortable: Your Invisalign aligners are crafted from a smooth thermoplastic material that won’t scrape your gums or cheeks as metal brackets or wires often do.
• Convenient: You can take out your aligner trays to enjoy your regular meals without restrictions, brush and floss as usual, or attend a special event.
• Fewer Appointments: With Invisalign, you will see Dr. Singh periodically to ensure your smile transformation stays on track, unlike traditional braces, which require constant wire adjustments.
• Predictable: Invisalign’s SmartForce features and proprietary SmartTrack material work together to align your teeth with exceptional precision.
• Quicker: For many teens and adults, Invisalign can deliver their desired results up to 50% faster than with metal braces, depending on the complexity of their orthodontic needs.
• Better Oral Health: Straight teeth are easier to clean effectively, reducing the risk of cavities, periodontal disease, oral infections, and other oral health concerns.
• Exceptional Results: Patients report beautiful results and high satisfaction with their newly aligned teeth and improved smiles.

What Is the Invisalign Process?

Dr. Singh will begin by using our iTero digital scanner to capture 3D models of your teeth and create your custom Invisalign treatment plan. You’ll even get to preview your new smile.

You will need to wear your aligners at least 20 to 22 hours a day, taking them out only to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush and floss. As you swap one set of aligner trays for the next in the series, following your treatment plan, you’ll see your teeth gradually shifting into their ideal positions. Periodic checkups allow Dr. Singh to monitor your progress and make any needed adjustments.

After treatment, we will provide custom retainers to maintain the alignment of your new smile.
