WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT INVISALIGN
It’s obvious why so many patients are preferring to wear aligner trays to straighten their teeth. Not only does this technology work, but it’s also less embarrassing and you can remove your trays whenever necessary as long as you be sure to wear them at least 22 hours each day.
Still, Invisalign may not be the right choice for everyone. Young teenagers engaged in rough and tumble sports activities might end up damaging the aligners, for example. Younger patients might also be tempted to remove the trays more often and not always wear them for the recommended number of hours each day. Talk to your dentist to determine whether Invisalign is the right choice for you or your family member.
