It involves a series of clear plastic aligners trays that are worn over your teeth to discreetly shift them into a straighter position. It\u2019s a clearly better alternative to traditional braces, as it\u2019s more comfortable and subtle, and it takes less time on average. You\u2019re probably wondering whether you\u2019re a good candidate for Invisalign. Don\u2019t search \u201chow to know if Invisalign is right for me in East York\u201d \u2013 just read this post instead! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. How Severe Is Your Misalignment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the first question to ask yourself before figuring\nout whether you would benefit from Invisalign. The aligners have a hard time fixing\ncases of misalignment that are too severe. As long as your problem isn\u2019t too\nserious, Invisalign can correct the following issues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Overbite <\/li><li>Underbite <\/li><li>Crossbite <\/li><li>Gaps between teeth <\/li><li>Crowded teeth <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your case ends up being too severe, your dentist may suggest\ntraditional metal braces instead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. How Old Are You?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re an older teenager or adult, Invisalign can often\nstraighten your teeth without a hitch. If you\u2019re a younger teenager or a child,\non the other hand, it\u2019s not recommended. This is because children and young\nteens\u2019 mouths are still developing, and your dentist doesn\u2019t want to interfere\nwith that growth. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. How Dedicated Are You to Improving Your Smile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Invisalign treatment is relatively easy, it still\nrequires some effort on your part. You\u2019ll have to keep your aligners in for at\nleast 20 hours a day. Basically, you\u2019ll only remove them to eat, drink, brush,\nand floss. If you\u2019re not dedicated to your treatment, you won\u2019t see the results\nyou want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Have You Taken Invisalign\u2019s Free Smile Assessment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get a better idea of whether Invisalign is right for you,\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.invisalign.com\/get-started\/smile-assessment\">take\nInvisalign\u2019s free Smile Assessment test.<\/a> All you have to do is provide a\nlittle information about yourself and what orthodontic issues you want to correct,\nand it can help you figure out whether Invisalign is the right method of\ntreatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these questions can tip you off to whether you\u2019re a\ngood candidate for Invisalign, ultimately, it\u2019s up to your dentist to answer\nthat question. Schedule a consultation with your dentist today to get started on\nyour journey to having a beautifully straight smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.donlandsfamilydentistry.ca\/meet-the-dentists.html\">Dr. Steve Margolian<\/a> has been caring for families in the East York, ON area for more than three decades.
