If so, you know it\u2019s a way to straighten your teeth without the metal brackets and wires required with conventional braces. Invisalign is a wonderful alternative &#8212; and to sweeten the deal, they recently <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invisalign.com\/why-invisalign\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">updated their protocols<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to make treatment even more convenient.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, you don\u2019t have to wear the aligners for as long, which means the overall treatment time could be shorter. They have also upped the quality of materials that are used &#8212; which were already top of the line. All that adds up to one excellent choice for orthodontics. <\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today\u2019s Invisalign<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over 4 million people worldwide have had their teeth straightened with Invisalign, and the process is better than ever with these recent changes. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, Invisalign works like this. <\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weekly aligner changes, versus changes every 2 weeks, results in treatment times \u00a0up to 50% faster.<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Movement is up to 75% more predictable thanks to SmartTrack\u00ae and SmartForce\u00ae technology, which allow your dentist to better control tooth movement. <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Aligners made with the SmartTrack materials fit better and are easier to take out and put back in, for enhanced comfort throughout the treatment. <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improvements in technology allow for the acceptance of more complex cases which previously were not treatable with Invisalign. <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compliance indicators that fade from blue to clear with use help teens keep track of when it\u2019s time to move on to the next aligner. <\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compared to traditional braces, the advantages of Invisalign are numerous. It is a convenient, comfortable, and attractive alternative to wire braces. <\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s what you can expect from Invisalign. <\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Removable aligners that make eating and cleaning a breeze. There are no brackets or wires to maneuver the brush and floss around, and you do not have to modify your diet to accommodate the breakable hardware. <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can feel free to remove the aligners before special events, like presentations or meetings, to continue speaking with total confidence. <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Invisalign is often more comfortable than traditional braces, which may rub blisters or sore spots in the soft oral tissues. <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fewer appointments with your dentist are required during the Invisalign treatment compared to with traditional braces. <\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last but certainly not least, Invisalign is made of clear plastic that is practically invisible. <\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More people than ever are eligible candidates for Invisalign thanks to the new guidelines. To learn more about whether or not clear aligners are right for you, contact your Invisalign dentist for a consultation. <\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About the Authors<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.familydentalpractice.net\/our-doctors.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Family Dental Practice of Bloomfield<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is pleased to bring high quality general and cosmetic dentistry to local friends and families.
