Curious about Invisalign but not sure it’s right for you?
Here at Goehring Dental in Austin, TX we know there are a lot of misconceptions about the process, so today we’re debunking five of the most common myths about Invisalign to give you a clear picture of how it really works.
Here’s everything you need to know!
Myth #1: Invisalign Is Only for Mild Cases
Truth: Thanks to advanced aligner technology, Invisalign can address mild to complex misalignments. Invisalign has come a long way and is able to treat a wide range of cases, including more complex issues like overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
Myth #2: It’s Only for Teens and Young Adults
Truth: Invisalign is not just for younger patients; it’s a fantastic option for adults of all ages! Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s, or even 60s, Invisalign offers a discreet way to achieve a straighter smile without the look of traditional braces. With Invisalign, there’s no age limit on a beautiful, confident smile.
Myth #3: Invisalign Takes Longer than Braces
Truth: For many patients, Invisalign can actually work faster than traditional braces! While the timeline varies based on each person’s unique needs, the average treatment time is often between 12 to 18 months, comparable to or even shorter than braces. Plus, the convenience of aligner changes can help streamline the process.
Myth #4: Invisalign is More Expensive than Braces
Truth: Although costs vary depending on the case, Invisalign is often comparable to traditional braces in price. Many practices, including ours, offer flexible payment plans, and your insurance may cover a portion of the treatment. With Invisalign, you can achieve the smile you want without an extra financial burden.
Myth #5: You Can’t Eat or Drink Anything with Invisalign
Truth: Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, which means you can eat and drink whatever you like! Just be sure to take out your aligners before meals and brush your teeth before putting them back in. This flexibility is one of the key reasons many people prefer Invisalign over traditional braces.
