Why Invisalign Has Such a High Satisfaction Rate

If you’re one of the nearly one in three Americans seeking orthodontic care for straighter teeth, Invisalign® has much to offer. The removable devices provide a modern alternative to conventional braces that increasingly appeal to teens and adults.

At Desert Dental, located in North Hollywood, California, Drs. Brian Shahangian and Bita Shahangian offer Invisalign treatment for good candidates of all ages.

Here’s a look at the reasons this state-of-the-art system has such a high satisfaction rate.

Invisalign is versatile

Invisalign can bring a broad range of benefits to your oral health and smile. Common complaints the treatment effectively corrects include crooked teeth, an overbite or underbite, gaps, and general misalignment. Invisalign can also create more space among crowded teeth.

Invisalign works quickly

Invisalign works efficiently as long as you wear the devices for about 22 hours a day. While conventional braces usually take up to three years to improve your teeth, Invisalign can bring similar results in as little as six months.

You can barely see the aligners

A “mouth full of metal” is one of the downsides many see in traditional braces. If you’re concerned about self-consciousness due to the obvious look of braces, Invisalign may be your best bet.

Invisalign aligners consist of a transparent material that’s barely detectable when you’re smiling or speaking.

They’re more comfortable than braces

There’s often an adjustment period when you first wear a new set of Invisalign trays, which may cause some discomfort. However, you won’t have to worry about the metal of braces scraping against your gums or inner cheeks. Plus, you can remove your trays for brief breaks, when desired.

Designed for comfort and ease, Invisalign adjusts teeth through incremental shifts. If the device edges irritate you, our team can adjust them.

You can eat normally

With conventional braces, you need to avoid or limit certain sticky, chewy, or hard foods to prevent wire breakage. During your Invisalign treatment, you remove your trays to eat and drink anything besides water. That means you can stick to your regular diet throughout.

Aligners are convenient and easy to clean

Caring for your Invisalign devices simply requires rinsing, brushing, or cleansing them. You then brush and floss your teeth with the trays out as usual.

And rather than come into the orthodontist’s office for adjustments, you’ll save time by switching to your next set of trays at home.
