5 Signs You’re a Good Candidate for Invisalign®
If you’re considering straightening your teeth, you’ve likely heard about Invisalign®. These clear aligners started a revolution in orthodontic treatment by offering a discreet, comfortable, and effective way to improve your smile. But is Invisalign® the right choice for you? At Plaistow Dental in Plaistow, NH, we’re here to help you decide. Here are five key signs that you may be a good candidate for Invisalign®.
1. You Have Mild to Moderate Alignment Issues
Invisalign® is an excellent solution for correcting common dental alignment problems, such as:
- Crowded teeth.
- Gaps or spacing issues.
- Mild overbites, underbites, or crossbites.
During an Invisalign® consultation, your dentist will evaluate your oral health, checking for issues like cavities or gum disease. They’ll assess your teeth and jaw alignment to determine if Invisalign® suits your needs. We use digital scans to create 3D models of your teeth and show potential results.
You’ll discuss your goals, and if you’re a good candidate, you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan with estimated costs and a timeline. If Invisalign® isn’t right for you, alternative options may be suggested. Additionally, traditional braces or other orthodontic treatments may be recommended for more complex cases.
A consultation at Plaistow Dental can determine if Invisalign® can effectively address your specific alignment needs.
2. You Have Good Oral Health
Healthy teeth and gums are essential before starting Invisalign® treatment. Issues like cavities or gum disease can interfere with the process and should be addressed beforehand. At Plaistow Dental, we’ll ensure your oral health is in top condition before moving forward with aligners.
3. You’re Committed to Wearing Aligners Consistently
To achieve the best results, patients must wear Invisalign® aligners for 20–22 hours daily. This means keeping them in while sleeping, working, and even during social activities, only removing them for meals or brushing your teeth. If you’re disciplined and ready to commit, Invisalign® could be a perfect fit for your lifestyle.
4. You Want a Discreet Orthodontic Option
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign® is its nearly invisible appearance. Whether you’re a professional adult or a self-conscious teen, Invisalign® provides a subtle solution that doesn’t draw attention to your treatment. If discretion is a priority for you, Invisalign® is likely an ideal choice.
5. Invisalign® Fits Your Lifestyle
Invisalign® aligners are removable, making them more convenient than traditional braces. They’re a great option if you:
- Want to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.
- Participate in sports or play musical instruments that might be affected by braces.
- Prefer a treatment option that allows for easy brushing and flossing.
The flexibility of Invisalign® ensures that it integrates seamlessly into your daily routine.
