You don\u2019t want to change\nyour diet, oral hygiene routine or appearance for the treatment. Luckily for\nyou, Invisalign offers an invisible and flexible orthodontic solution. In this\npost, your dentist will explain what makes someone a good candidate for\nInvisalign in Virginia Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Invisalign Right for Me? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are multiple factors to consider when choosing your preferred\nmethod of orthodontic treatment. Review the following to see if <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilebydesignva.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign<\/a> is right\nfor you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Age <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Teens and adults are best suited for Invisalign. This is\nbecause the aligners work best when the patient has lost almost all, if not all,\nof their primary teeth. An effective treatment also depends on the maturity and\nself-discipline of the patient, as they need to make sure to wear their\naligners for the recommended 20-22 hours a day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Orthodontic Needs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign successfully addresses mild to moderate bite\nissues, crooked teeth and crowded mouths. Unfortunately, it may not be an option\nwith more complex orthodontic cases. This includes extreme overcrowding and issues\ninvolving back teeth, bridgework and tooth rotation. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Oral Health <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need good oral health to start the Invisalign\ntreatment. Those with active gum disease or cavities should be treated prior to\nmoving forward with Invisalign or should consider using traditional braces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cost <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign is often a bit more expensive than traditional\nbraces. The average cost is between $3,500 to $8,000, while metal braces range\nfrom $2,500 to $6,000. However, Invisalign treatment is usually faster. It also\noffers the unique advantages of a discreet treatment that doesn\u2019t require you\nto change your diet or oral hygiene routine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Exactly Does Invisalign Work? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign utilizes custom-made, clear aligner trays.\nPatients wear Invisalign over their teeth for 20-22 hours a day to guide them\ntowards the ideal position. There are multiple benefits of Invisalign, most\nnotably it\u2019s virtually invisible look. Because the trays are removable,\npatients can also clean their teeth without the obstruction of braces and don\u2019t\nhave to change their diets during treatment. Invisalign is also more\ncomfortable because, unlike braces, it won\u2019t cut the inside of your mouth nor\ndoes it require uncomfortable tightening procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Requiring orthodontic treatment may seem daunting, but\nbraces aren\u2019t your only option. Invisalign can help fix your smile without\nrequiring you to make drastic lifestyle or appearance changes.
