The holidays are a time for family, friends, togetherness, sharing, caring, and so much more. Giving gifts is secondary to the true spirit of the holiday season. But not all gifts take away from the spirit of the holidays! For example, Invisalign braces for your growing teenager, a loved one, or even a friend.

Invisalign is the Gift that Keeps on Giving

Straight teeth that one can be confident in aren’t something to take for granted. As we age, different factors will lead to differently shaped teeth and physical attributes. If you, your children, or a loved one wish for straighter teeth, Invisalign is something you should look into. It is so popular and effective for a few key reasons:

• Provides effective results
• Fixes issues including crooked teeth, under-bite, overbite, tooth gaps, and more.
• It is far more comfortable and easy to manage compared to traditional metal braces
• Brushing and flossing are easy as Invisalign can be removed when eating and cleaning your teeth.
• No wires and no metal parts
• Works more quickly than traditional braces
• It is nearly invisible to see making it great for everyone, especially teenagers and adults

Giving a gift like straighter teeth is something you take with you forever. No more being self-conscious about crooked teeth and no more embarrassment or fear when smiling. When a self-conscious teenager is scared to smile or talk to new people because of their teeth, it can create lifelong social anxiety problems. Invisalign offers more than straight teeth it offers confidence as well.

Who Qualifies for Invisalign Invisible Braces?

Anyone with adult teeth who meet a few criteria regarding jaw, teeth, and pallet structures qualifies for Invisalign. If you have unstraight teeth you qualify for this treatment. The beauty is that maintenance when brushing and flossing is night and day compared to traditional braces. With traditional braces, you cannot floss and food of all shapes and sizes will stick in the braces. This makes oral hygiene far more difficult and this is a problem. Sure they straighten your teeth over time but your overall oral hygiene suffers. This can lead to cavities, cracked teeth, and more.

Invisalign straighteners are designed to be worn nearly 22 hours a day, being removed only to eat and clean your teeth. This means there is some flexibility when using them and life for those 12 – 18 months is far more manageable compared to traditional braces.

Traditional Braces Require Regular Orthodontist Visits

Another beautiful thing about Invisalign compared to traditional braces is they require far fewer dental visits. Braces need to be adjusted every few weeks and that requires visiting the orthodontist’s office for adjustments. These costs can start to compound and increase the overall costs of using traditional braces. With Invisalign, the number of visits to the dentist is far less and you typically have a set of them to wear at different stages of the straightening process. This means less time is taken from your day and less cost spent as you don’t need to go to the dentist nearly as often.

Every Teenager Wishes for Straight Teeth

High school is a time for hormones, growing up, and learning about yourself. We all know kids can be cruel and appearance is often given too much importance. In this day and age when everyone is judging one another and looking at Instagram all day, being self-conscious about one’s appearance is normal. So, give the gift of confidence this holiday season!
