If you're considering Invisalign in Kalaheo, HI, we think it's a fantastic orthodontic system.

Invisalign has been around for a while and continues to gain in popularity among patients for several reasons. We've listed just a few of these reasons below.

#1 Straight Teeth Contribute to Improved Oral Health

An aligned bite puts less stress on your teeth, which helps prevent issues like tooth decay and gum disease. An aligned bite also aids in chewing healthier foods like crunchy veggies.

#2 Straight Teeth Are Easier to Brush and Floss

When teeth are twisted and overlapping, navigating these tight spaces with your toothbrush and dental floss is hard. When teeth are lined up correctly, there are no longer places for plaque and bacteria to hide and accumulate, lessening your risks for cavities and bad breath.

#3 Invisalign Does Not Draw Attention to Treatment

Wire and metal braces make it obvious you're in orthodontic treatment. But Invisalign, because it is virtually invisible, is not always noticeable. Many patients enjoy treatment discretion.

#4 Invisalign Is a Comfortable Alternative to BracesA woman putting on her Invisalign clear aligners

Braces, while effective, can be cumbersome and feel weighty in the mouth. Additionally, the hard edges can irritate oral tissue. Invisalign is made of plastic, is smooth and agreeable to cheeks and gums.

#5 You'll love Your Smile!

Of course, you'll love your smile when your teeth are straight. You'll no longer cover your mouth when you laugh, which is priceless!
