The perks are unavoidable:
Invisalign is less expensive, takes less time, and makes for an overall cleaner, more confident teeth-straightening process. The invisible retainers are made with the latest 3-D computer imaging technology and, unlike braces, make for very little root resorption.

By comparison, the results are the same as conventional braces, but the benefits are completely outnumbered. While a full set of conventional braces costs anywhere from $5,000 to $6,000 and can take the average patient one to two years to complete, the most a patient will pay for a complete Invisalign case is $4,500 and the longest they’ll wait for an improved smile is one year.

And the system is simple.
First, a consultation is needed to determine if Invisalign is right for you. For some sever cases of malocclusion, or the improper alignment of teeth, conventional braces are the best way to go. But 80 percent of cases can be treated with Invisalign, which makes for a better cosmetic appearance and impeccable oral hygiene.

While braces are often known to take hold of certain foods by means of trapping and coloring, Invisalign retainers are taken out when it’s time to eat. Which, for some, has seconded as a form of weight loss. Being able to remove the retainers also allows patients to brush and floss like normal. And as far as office visits go, instead of reporting back to the dentist chair every few weeks, the average Invisalign patient only checks in every few months.
