Video Transcript: Why Invisalign Is the Answer

The following is a full text transcript of the video for accessibility. Total runtime: approximately 1 minute, 36 seconds.

Introduction

To get the smile you've always wanted, Invisalign is the answer. You have a bunch of choices when it comes to straightening your teeth. Braces are common and other clear aligners are everywhere — so why is Invisalign the answer?

Advanced Clear Aligner Technology

Transforming smiles with more sophisticated technology and data points for more than eight million smiles for better predictability, Invisalign is the world's most advanced clear aligner system. A specially engineered, patented material is proven to move your teeth more precisely and more comfortably than ordinary aligners.

A Personalized Treatment Plan

Your treatment plan is built based on your doctor's prescription and years of research and intelligence from millions of patients, so your treatment experience is personalized to you, and only you.

Fits Into Your Lifestyle

You don't have to make drastic changes to your lifestyle. Because Invisalign aligners are easily removable, you can still eat and drink what you want, and can even play sports without worrying about broken wires or brackets.

Faster, Healthier, and More Comfortable Than Braces

Straightening your teeth with Invisalign is, on average, five months faster than braces. Studies have also shown that patients treated with aligners had less plaque and better periodontal health than those wearing braces. And what's more, there are no accidents from broken brackets or pokey wires in your mouth.

The Answer to Transform Your Smile

For more comfort and predictability than other aligners, and a faster, better experience than braces, Invisalign is the answer to transform your smile.

Invisalign® clear aligners have been proven to provide an effective contemporary alternative to traditional orthodontic treatment. You can gently shift your teeth into place by wearing each set of aligners for about two weeks, removing them only to eat or clean your teeth. Being able to remove the aligners whenever you like allows you to enjoy life without restriction or inconvenience. The best part is that Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible- so no one will ever know!

During your consultation, your Invisalign® provider will examine you and determine whether Invisalign® is a good fit for you. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have and our experienced team will be happy to assist you.

Video Transcript: The Technology Behind Invisalign

The following is a full text transcript of the video for accessibility. Total runtime: approximately 1 minute, 21 seconds.

Introduction

This might look like just a little piece of plastic, but inside every Invisalign clear aligner is a whole lot of technology.

A Simple Scan and a Glimpse of Your Future Smile

It starts with a simple scan, which your doctor can use to give you a glimpse of your future smile. Like what you see?

Your Personalized Digital Roadmap

With our cutting-edge software, your doctor creates the digital roadmap to get you there. Every shift in your teeth is planned from beginning to end, calculating just the right amount of force needed to move your teeth — so there's no unnecessary pain.

Custom 3D-Printed Aligners

Then, we take that digital roadmap and bring it to life using 3D printing to create your custom aligners.

The Difference Is in the Details

The real difference between Invisalign and other clear aligners is in the details, like precision trimming the aligner so it doesn't cut your gums the way other brands can. And only Invisalign clear aligners are made with SmartTrack material, developed by biomechanical engineers. Translation: our material is more flexible for greater comfort, and it hugs your teeth closer for a better fit and more accurate movements — aka a better smile.

Shaped by Millions of Smiles

Invisalign is the only clear aligner that's shaped five million smiles, and each smile has made our system smarter, helping reduce treatment times to as little as three months. There are 20 years of research behind every Invisalign clear aligner, all for every smile.

Closing

That's a whole lot of technology — and one little piece of plastic.

Lifestyle Considerations: Braces are extremely obvious. Whether you have class pictures coming up, a hot date for the prom, or a promotion opportunity at work, braces can make you feel self-conscious. Braces also have a tendency to poke and scratch your mouth, due to the metal brackets and wires. They also require you to stay away from common foods such as popcorn and apples. Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, are made from a smooth plastic that does not cut or scrape, and can be removed when you want to enjoy your favorite foods.
Improved Oral Hygiene: Since Invisalign aligners are removable, you can simply pop out your aligner, brush and floss your teeth like normal, and clean the aligner. You can always feel confident that you are maintaining a high level of oral hygiene without much additional effort. Braces are difficult to clean around, which can promote the demineralization of your tooth enamel, putting you at risk for dark spots on your teeth after braces and even tooth decay.
Convenience: While braces require frequent adjustments at the dentist’s office, Invisalign wearers typically see the dentist only once every four to six weeks. You will change your aligner at home every two weeks or as directed by your dentist. That means less time at your orthodontist’s office – and more time to do the things you love.
3-D Modeling: While braces leave you guessing what your new smile will look like, Invisalign shows you exactly what to expect. Before starting treatment, your dentist will create a 3-D digital model of your mouth. You will see the results of each stage of treatment, including your final smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Invisalign correct most orthodontic issues?

Generally, yes – Invisalign can correct many orthodontic concerns just like traditional braces. However, it should be noted that there are a couple of situations in which they may not be your ideal option. For instance, severely misaligned teeth may require a different treatment option. Those with baby teeth or teeth that are still growing and those with complex orthodontic needs may not benefit as well from Invisalign, either.

Consulting with your orthodontist is the best way to discover the right treatment option for your oral health.

Do I have to wear my Invisalign aligners at all times?

Your Invisalign aligners work while you are wearing them. Therefore, the more you wear them, the better results you will see in a shorter amount of time. It is recommended that you wear your aligners for at least 21 to 22 hours each day, only taking them out to eat.

Do Invisalign aligners hurt?

Each new aligner will be tighter than the one before it which may cause a temporary amount of discomfort. Keep in mind that braces of all sorts are designed to straighten your teeth. This means they are going to have to be tight enough to move them. For traditional metal braces, tightening appointments are always necessary. It is not uncommon for those with braces to complain about them hurting for a day or two after tightening, making both the teeth and inner cheeks sensitive.

Does Invisalign work better than traditional braces?

Both Invisalign and traditional braces work well at curing misalignments and creating beautiful smiles. Talk to your orthodontist to discover the best option for you!
