Create Your Best Smile in Edmonton: Why Invisalign Is Worth It!
Hey, my fellow smilers! I’m Dr. Peter Yoo, your Edmonton dentist from The Tooth Doctor. I’m here to share the whole orthodontic gamut of how to get that grin exactly how you want it. Glowing. Maybe you have always wondered if wearing a clear piece of plastic could transform your smile. Spoiler alert: It absolutely can. Today, we’re getting into the nitty-gritty of why Invisalign isn’t just a dental treatment; it’s your new best friend for that selfie-ready smile!
What is a Dental Invisalign Treatment?
Let’s start with the basics. Invisalign is like the James Bond of braces—sleek, discreet, and incredibly smart. These aren’t yesterday’s metal braces that look like a train track! Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners designed to move your teeth into the perfect position gradually. With the slow movement you will feel less discomfort than traditional metal braces. It’s high-tech stuff: each aligner is slightly different, nudging your teeth toward their ideal locations like a gentle orthodontic ninja.
Why Choose Invisalign Over Traditional Braces to Straighten Your Teeth?
Remember those old-school braces that were a rite of passage in junior high? Yeah, Invisalign skipped that awkward phase. These clear aligners are virtually invisible so that even your closest pals won’t notice you’re wearing them. Plus, they’re removable – so you can eat whatever you want, whenever you want. Corn on the cob at the Fringe Festival? No problem. Sticky candy at the movies? Go for it! Just pop those aligners out, enjoy, and please brush before popping them back in – trust me on that one. I say all this but keep in mind it is recommended to wear the clear aligners for 22 hours a day. Invisalign treatment is most effective that way.
Ease of Maintenance Even at 22 Hours Per Day
Here’s where I share a little secret: I used to wear traditional braces, and let’s just say it wasn’t my brightest moment. With wires and retainers it is no fun not to mention very visible. Food always got caught, and brushing was like navigating a metal maze. With Invisalign, cleaning your teeth is as easy as brushing and flossing your bare teeth (which I hope you’re doing anyway!) because you just remove the aligners and you’re good to go.
The Invisalign Process at The Tooth Doctor South Edmonton
Your journey to a stellar smile begins with a chat; just you and me, figuring out if a set of aligners is your smile’s soulmate. We’ll use some techy 3D imaging to map out your mouth and plan your entire treatment, from the first aligner to the last. Then the aligners are made with 3d information gathered. It’s kind of like planning a road trip, but instead of ending up at the World’s Largest Perogy in Glendon, you end up with an awesome smile!
Treatment Duration
“Okay, Dr. Yoo, but how long will this orthodontic treatment take?” is a question I get a lot. Well, it’s quicker than waiting for the Oilers to win the cup again – typically, treatment spans 12 to 18 months. You’ll start noticing changes way sooner, and that’s always exciting!
Is Invisalign Right for Everyone?
While Invisalign is fantastic, it’s not the one-size-fits-all solution. Invisalign can correct most alignment issues, but some complex cases might need a different approach. Don’t worry though; we’ll figure it out together. If Invisalign aligners aren’t for you, I’ll be honest about it because, at the end of the day, it’s your smile, not mine!
Cost and Value of Invisalign System in Edmonton
Investing in Invisalign is like getting the VIP pass at West Edmonton Mall. This treatment plan is worth it for the perks. Sure, it might seem like a splurge, but with flexible payment plans and potential dental insurance coverage, we can make it work for your budget. Think about it: a lifetime of confident smiles for the price of a daily coffee? That’s a steal!
Success Stories of Invisible Braces
Nothing makes my day like hearing from patients who can’t stop checking themselves out in mirrors and shiny surfaces. Like Sarah, who said she never knew a trip to the dentist could change her life. Or Mike, who finally felt confident enough to ask his high school crush out. (She said yes, by the way.) Invisalign may change your life too.
