Are Invisalign Braces Worth the Cost?

image 2

Braces are extremely common these days. Nearly every child has braces at some point in their life. Adults are also getting braces at a rapid rate. They are not only aesthetic enhancers for people insecure about their natural teeth, but the straightening also makes it easier to take care of the teeth. This allows the teeth to stay healthier longer and improves overall patient health.

Of course, braces come with some awkwardness as well, and for some people, the upkeep can be more hassle than it is worth. That’s why more people are increasingly turning to Invisalign as an option for invisible teeth straightening.

For people seeking an alternative to braces, our team at Hamptons Dental offer Invisalign. We can offer you Invisalign that will enhance your life, but some people still wonder if Invisalign is worth the cost. Read on to determine if they’re right for your dental needs and budget.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a modern way to get straight teeth. They are a more recent development compared to traditional braces. Invisalign consists of a set of custom-made aligners that are moulded to the patients’ teeth as they straighten. These aligners are clear, which makes them perfect for those who feel awkward about the look of traditional braces.

Getting fitted for Invisalign is similar to getting traditional braces, but the process is something that is almost invisible. This can make some people nervous about whether or not they work.

Do They Really Work?

Invisalign has over 20 years of research under its belt, proving that is it just as effective as traditional braces at straightening teeth. There have been over 5 million patients who have received Invisalign treatment. Almost all of them have reported extremely satisfactory results.

The straightening they provide are the same as traditional braces. They help with crowded teeth, over or underbites, and all forms of teeth that are misplaced in the mouth.

The Advantages of Invisalign

Now, why should one purchase these instead of braces? There are many reasons, but the most important is that they are non-invasive. These do not require patients to change their life plan to fit around repairing their teeth. The liners are nearly invisible, so that people will not constantly feel self-conscious about having them.

They are also completely removable. This means that one could take them out when eating and that no restrictions on eating are in place. This also makes brushing and flossing extremely easy.

Invisalign also has a shorter time span in which they straighten the teeth. Braces must be worn on average for 2 years 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Invisalign on the other hand, can be worn for 6 to 18 months for 22 to 24 hours a day and give patients the same results.

For many people, these are a preferable alternative to braces, and they offer comparable results. They are good for almost every dental issue. The only thing that they cannot fix is bridgework, back tooth issues, and canines/premolars that need to be rotated.

Is It Worth the Cost?

At first glance, it might seem that Invisalign is the more expensive option. However, if you consider the long-term effects, they are actually more cost-efficient.

When determining if the upfront costs are worth it, you have to consider the long-term advantages. Overall, Invisalign is worth it for those who want quality in a less obtrusive package. They are kid-friendly, teen-friendly, and a great solution for adults who want to get corrective procedures.

Invisalign lets people feel more confident about how they look. They allow business professionals to continue on their everyday life without the fear of being ridiculed for having braces. They also will prevent kids from bullying children in school about their braces, and the minimal upkeep make them easier to deal with.

The Bottom Line: Invisalign is Worth It

Invisalign doesn’t come with the headaches of adjustments as traditional braces do. They are good for families, single clients, and any one in between. If Invisalign seems like the investment you desire for straighter teeth, give us a call. Our Invisalign services give patients the best experience with correction as possible.
