Invisalign is a different mode of braces. Wire braces are unsightly and uncomfortable. They also take longer to get a desired effect. You remember when you had braces as a teenager the years it took and the many dental visits to the family orthodontist. Invisalign offers similar results with less invasive, clear "aligners." The aligners are used to make incremental movements in your teeth to the desired end result. Just like traditional braces, you will still have to wear a retainer after your Invisalign treatment. But the ability to take your aligners out when you are on a date is a luxury you cannot put a price on!
No one said beauty is cheap or easy to get. We all have to work hard, but if you need to make your life easier, then using home bleaching kits from the drugstore can give you a flash of white teeth. Do not expect for this to last long. Best results are accomplished with dentist prescribed whitening. Both in-office or at-home dentist prescribed whitening treatments will give you faster and longer-lasting results. If your teeth are healthy and somewhat white, you can get a boost from over-the-counter products, but again, they will not last long.
My number one recommendation is that patients keep their 6 month routine dental check up. This will keep any unwanted dental surprises at bay. In addition, the cleanings will give them whiter teeth and healthier oral hygiene. Aside from routine check ups, floss and use an electric toothbrush.
