Why Invisalign® Has Such a High Satisfaction Rate

Why Invisalign® Has Such a High Satisfaction Rate

More than 9 million people in the United States receive orthodontic treatment each year, as it's the third largest dental treatment category. Invisalign® and traditional braces are two orthodontic solutions that optimize teeth alignment to create beautiful smiles. 

Invisalign has improved more than 18 million smiles, including over 5 million smiles among teenagers. This treatment consists of clear plastic aligners — as opposed to the metal brackets and wires of traditional braces — to create straighter teeth and an aesthetically pleasing smile.

Why are the patients of cosmetic and general dentistry specialist Kenn Kakosian, DDS, PhD, so excited about Invisalign at DentAlign NYC? Here are some of the many reasons Invisalign achieves high satisfaction ratings among its users.

Removability 

Unlike traditional braces with brackets securely bonded to your teeth, Invisalign uses clear, smooth plastic aligners you can take out of your mouth as you need to or want to. You remove them to eat, brush your teeth after meals, and floss. 

Why is this a benefit? You don’t have to worry about food particles getting stuck in metal braces or having to avoid your favorite foods.

Comfort

Invisalign aligners are custom-made, smooth, and comfortable as they slowly shift your teeth into their targeted alignment. You don’t have to worry about brackets getting in the way of your bite or irritating the soft tissues in your mouth.

Discreteness

Because they’re clear, Invisalign aligners are discrete. Most people won’t even realize you’re wearing them — they must be up close and personal or look twice to notice them. This makes Invisalign a popular pick among adults and teenagers. 

Easy teeth cleaning

Metal wires and brackets make it more difficult to clean your teeth, especially when it’s time to floss. To brush and floss when undergoing Invisalign treatment, you simply remove the aligners, brush and floss as usual, clean the aligner trays, and place the aligners back in your mouth. 

Faster treatment

Treatment times vary from person to person, but Invisalgin treatment generally takes less time than traditional braces. In fact, some adults with mild occlusion can complete orthodontic treatments with clear aligners in as little as six months

Dr. Kakosian discusses a reasonable expectation based on your personalized needs so you know what to prepare for.

Candidates for Invisalign

Nearly everyone with mild to moderate orthodontic problems, including crooked teeth, gapped teeth, or a misaligned bite, is a candidate for Invisalign treatment at DentAlign NYC. It works wonders for teenagers and adults alike.
