Are you frustrated by gaps in your grin, overcrowded teeth, or a minor bite misalignment? If so, you might be a good candidate for Invisalign<\/a>. This orthodontic treatment utilizes clear trays that fit snuggly over your teeth to gently shift them rather than bulky metal brackets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign continues to gain popularity as more people realize they can straighten their smiles more discreetly than with standard braces. However, that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s the best solution for everyone\u2019s unique needs. Continue reading to learn 3 things you should know about it before proceeding!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Consideration #1: It Can Cause Discomfort<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many patients opt for this clear alternative to traditional orthodontics because they\u2019re known for being more comfortable. The smooth plastic won\u2019t lacerate the tender tissues in your mouth, but it\u2019s possible to develop some mild to moderate aches throughout your Invisalign treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truth is potentially any service that exerts enough force over your teeth to reposition them can cause discomfort, and Invisalign is no exception. It\u2019s common to experience tenderness or sore teeth periodically, like when you first begin wearing your trays or when you must switch to a new set. Thankfully, it doesn\u2019t usually last long and can be addressed with Tylenol or ibuprofen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consideration #2: You Might Develop a Temporary Lisp<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You must wear each set of Invisalign trays for 20 to 22 hours daily, meaning that your teeth and gums will be covered practically all of the time. Although the plastic is designed to fit like a glove over your teeth, it does have mass. It can take your tongue and other supporting muscles in your mouth some time to learn to clearly enunciate different sounds with them in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s normal to develop a slight lisp until you wear the aligners long enough to grow accustomed to their presence in your mouth. The more you speak with your trays in, the faster you\u2019ll adjust. Usually, the lisp fades within the first few weeks of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consideration #3: Additional Attachments May Be Required<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign tends to be more comfortable than traditional braces, but it doesn\u2019t allow your dentist the same manipulation of movement. Without wires to adjust or brackets in place, it\u2019s harder to push and pull teeth that are more firmly rooted, torqued, or more severely misaligned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, your dentist might have had to resort to standard braces to address more extreme cases. Invisalign adapted by offering attachments that can help provide additional grip on your teeth. To place them, your dentist will apply a small amount of clear resin to your enamel to form \u201cbuttons\u201d that anchor your trays more firmly. These are typically removed when you\u2019ve completed treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you know more about life with Invisalign, you can make an educated decision regarding enhancing your smile!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
