Although you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, many people form a first impression based on the appearance of someone’s teeth. Crooked or gapped teeth could send the wrong message. Not only can alignment issues affect your professional image, but also your confidence and dental health. Invisalign provides a discreet solution to fix your bite and alignment. If you have concerns about brackets and wires affecting your career, here is why you should consider investing in clear aligners.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Traditional orthodontics use a system of brackets and wires to move teeth. Invisalign differs because clear aligners are worn over your teeth. Each aligner applies gentle continual pressure to move your teeth gradually.
Although you can see Invisalign while holding it in your hand, it is very difficult to detect when in your mouth. You won’t have to worry about brackets or wires compromising your appearance. However, you must commit to wearing them for at least 22 hours per day and switching to the next set in your series every 1 to 2 weeks, as instructed by your dentist.
In about 12 months, you’ll reach the end of your series. You’ll have a healthy, beautiful smile to be proud of because attractive teeth are attributed to youth, confidence, and success, which could take your career to the next level.
Who Can Benefit from Invisalign?
Invisalign is a great option for adults interested in a less noticeable orthodontic treatment. Singers, public speakers, car salesmen, and other professionals can benefit from the virtually invisible treatment. Although Invisalign can fix many alignment problems, it’s not right for everyone. Your dentist will examine your mouth and learn more about your goals to determine if Invisalign is the best solution for you.
Invest in Straight, Healthy Teeth
Whether you missed your chance for braces as a teen, or your teeth have shifted over time, it’s never too late to invest in a straight smile. You’ll improve your dental health by lowering your risk of cavities, gum disease, and many other oral health issues. You’ll achieve a healthy smile while also enhancing your confidence.
You’ll never think twice before showing off your pearly whites, which can make you appear more approachable, outgoing, and successful. No matter your line of work, Invisalign can help you achieve the stunning smile you desire.
