As someone who sees a lot of patients for Invisalign and is currently going through Invisalign treatment myself, I can give you first hand experience on signs that you are a good candidate for invisalign.
As a dentist on St. Clair West, one of the questions I hear most often is: “Can I even get Invisalign?” The honest answer is that most adults are candidates because the Invisalign product has only improved over the years. But as good as Invisalign has become over the years, it is still not for everyone.
After years of treating patients right here in Corso Italia,here is a list of five indicators that you would be a good candidate for Invisalign
Sign #1: You had braces as a kid but didn’t wear your retainer
This is probably the most common reason adults come to me for Invisalign. Your teeth were straight after you got your braces off as a kid. You may or may not have been given a retainer and maybe a fixed wire, then the wire broke. Life got busy, the retainer didn’t fit anymore and years later…. You have crooked or spaced teeth again. The good news is that if you were already in braces once, your teeth have proven they can move. Invisalign is often a faster and simpler fix the second time around. Most of the time it can be done from as little as 6 months- 1 year!
Sign #2: Your lower front teeth are crowded or crooked
Some people think it’s because of their wisdom teeth, some think its because of pregnancy. Unfortunately the truth is a lot simpler than that. As you get older, the lower front teeth just have a tendency to get crowded over time. The good news is: crowding is one of the most treatable conditions with Invisalign. Crowded teeth aren’t just a cosmetic issue. They’re harder to clean, which means more plaque buildup, more cavities, and more gum problems down the road. Straightening them is as much about looking good as it is about keeping them healthy for the long term
Sign #3: Your Bite Is in the Mild-to-Moderate Range.
Invisalign is highly effective at treating a wide range of dental issues! Issues such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, and gaps can be corrected as long as they fall in the mild to moderate range. More severe bite problems, such as difficulty chewing properly, may require traditional braces or other orthodontic treatment to achieve the best result.
The good news is that you don’t need to figure this out on your own. During your initial consultation, I can assess your bite in just a few minutes and give you a straight answer on whether Invisalign is the right fit for you.
Sign #4: You care about how you would look during treatment
Most of my patients who are getting Invisalign are working professionals or adults that have life events to attend such as weddings, work meetings or social outings. Reality is: Invisalign is more flexible than traditional braces. It allows patients to still smile in a photo without seeing metal across all their teeth.
As someone who is currently going through Invisalign, I can confidently say most people do not even notice my Invisalign. The fact that most people won’t even notice makes it a lot easier to commit to treatment.
Sign #5: You’ve been putting it off because you thought it would be really expensive
This one comes up more than you’d think. A lot of people write off Invisalign before they’ve even asked how much it is! The truth is that getting the smile you’ve dreamed of is actually a lot more affordable than you would think. Tinto Dentistry has made it a lot more affordable and accessible to patients through our flexible payment plans that spread the cost into manageable monthly payments.
