Why is Invisalign so Popular?

Invisalign is fast moving from an orthodontic solution to something akin to a beauty and aesthetic treatment option for clients across the world.

Designed as a minimally invasive approach to teeth straightening, marking a significant move away from the installation of fixed braces and towards more of a self-managed approach, Invisalign treatment promises excellent results via a very simple process.

To help you determine if Invisalign is something you might be interested in, for this article we discuss what makes the treatment so popular – starting with how it works.

How does Invisalign Work?

Invisalign is a modern alternative to traditional fixed braces, that sees a gum shield style of brace slotted over the teeth. The first and most prominent feature of this gum shield is its invisible design and structure. A hard-wearing and transparent plastic is used to minimise visibility and to enable the wearer to conceal the brace behind their smile.

The invisible retainer that the client wears is regularly exchanged for the next in the set – crucially ensuring that the teeth are never left dormant for too long. Changing the braces consistently means that the teeth keep moving, aligning and straightening – all while remaining pain-free and fuss-free thanks to the removable nature of the retainers.

The Importance of Commitment and Consistency

When considering the popularity of Invisalign, both dentists and long-term clients always come back to the balance of convenience and high-level results.

Despite the process being largely very self-managed and straightforward, the results that clients enjoy are long-lasting and (more often than not) just as good as the results of a traditional fixed brace. Invisalign is proof that patients don’t need to be subjected to fixed braces – rather, teeth can be aligned and held in place with a simple clear plastic retainer-style brace.

Of course, to enjoy all these benefits clients need to bring a level of commitment and consistency to the process themselves. Invisalign aligners can be removed, which means that clients themselves need to commit to wearing them and keeping them in position for up to 22 hours of the day. They also need to attend all appointments and prioritise aftercare as part of the process.

The Convenience of the Invisalign Journey

All in all, Invisalign combines the potency of excellent results with the convenience of a process that’s both minimally invasive and almost completely invisible on the teeth.

Clients can unlock a straighter, brighter smile without the discomfort of fixed braces, while still enjoying the ease of cleaning their teeth and keeping their retainer hygienic. Invisalign is popular because it suits the modern desire for fast results while also giving clients confidence in the process and in their smiles.
