Invisalign completely changed orthodontic treatment by providing a way to straighten teeth without the need for bulky, uncomfortable metal braces. Yet the myths about clear aligners persist both online and offline. If you have been thinking of San Juan Capistrano clear aligner treatment, here are the basics about the most popular myths, so that you can make an informed decision about your smile.

Myth 1: Invisalign is only for Slight Teeth Misalignment

One of the more enduring myths is that Invisalign only works for extremely minor cases. The truth is, Invisalign has come a long way since it first made its appearance. These days, it can fix nearly all types of orthodontic problems such as crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and even certain difficult malocclusions.

Local clinics providing Invisalign in San Juan Capistrano rely on state-of-the-art 3D imaging and treatment planning software to customize each aligner to fit the patient’s individual dental structure. This individualized treatment is as effective for teens as it is for adults – and – if you have teeth, it can lift.

Myth 2: Clear Aligners Are Not as Effective as Braces

Efficiency varies according to the case and the cooperation of the patient. Invisalign aligners can be just as effective as braces for some patients as long as they are worn for 20 to 22 hours a day. The main principle to follow is to be consistent.

Unlike braces, Invisalign trays are removable making for better oral hygiene and no food restrictions. But that also means a patient needs to be disciplined about wearing it all the time. Many San Juan Capistrano Invisalign trainees say they start seeing results within two to three months.

Myth 3: Invisalign Is Painful

Another myth about Invisalign is that treatment is painful. Though this is true, some pressure or light discomfort experienced when beginning a new set of aligners is usually temporary and is a sign that treatment is progressing.

Myth 4: You Can’t Afford Invisalign

This is a false assumption, but like with anything else, there is a cost associated with the benefit, and we can work with you so you can have your cake and eat it too!

The cost is often a concern, but Invisalign is more affordable than most people realize. Cost is frequently the same as with traditional braces, and most orthodontic offices provide flexible financing, monthly payment plan options, and accept many insurance plans that pay for a portion of treatment.

If you’re thinking about San Juan Capistrano Invisalign, you should make an appointment so we can talk about costs, insurance, and financing options that are right for you.

Conclusion

Invisalign is an incredibly effective orthodontic treatment, providing a flexible, comfortable and discreet way to straighten teeth. We can help alleviate some of these myths for a little more confidence in moving into the smile you’ve always dreamed of. By selecting a trusted provider of Invisalign in San Juan Capistrano you can make the most of this state-of-the-art treatment, and enjoy beautiful results that last a lifetime.
