Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?

Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?

Are you considering getting Invisalign but wondering if you’re the right candidate? For most of us, a smile is one of our most precious possessions. A beautiful, warm smile raises our confidence and can make us feel great about ourselves.

However, for some individuals, smiling is problematic because they are worried about protruding teeth, crooked teeth, or a gap between their teeth. If this sounds like you, then Invisalign treatment could be a great restorative dentistry option for you.

In this article, we’ll discuss what Invisalign treatment is, its advantages, and how it works, to help you decide if you’re the right candidate for this treatment.

What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?

No food restrictions: Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign is free from wires and brackets, allowing patients to eat, work, and participate in social activities worry-free. Plus, you’re not limited to what food to eat; you can literally eat whatever you want.

Invisible appearance: Invisalign aligners are clear, hence invisible, so they don’t affect your smile in any way.

Improved oral hygiene: Since these pieces are removable, you don’t have to worry about your oral hygiene. You can remove them when you want to clean and floss your teeth and then return them easily.

Comfort: Invisalign aligners are made of soft plastic material, making them much more comfortable and less damaging than conventional metal braces.

Better dental health: Invisalign trays can also improve dental health. Aligned teeth work well for your gums and overall dental health. Getting rid of gaps and crowing makes caring for your teeth and mouth effortless.

Saves time: Invisalign aligners are quick to install and only require maintenance after every six months, meaning you will spend less time at the dentist’s office.

What Does Invisalign Correct?

Invisalign is often recommended for older teens and adults. Conditions that can be treated with Invisalign trays include:

  • Crooked teeth
  • Overbite/Underbite
  • Protruding teeth
  • Crossbite
  • Crowded teeth

Why Would Someone Not Be A Good Candidate For Invisalign?

While Invisalign is an effective treatment for individuals who want to better their smile, it isn’t a fit for everyone. Here are some reasons why a patient may not be a good candidate for Invisalign.

  • They have gum disease or cavities.
  • A patient has an oral condition that needs surgery
  • A patient has misshapen or eroded teeth
  • A patient has dental implants or a bridges disorder
