Considering Invisalign?

Invisalign is a popular and effective orthodontic treatment, but like any dental solution, it comes with both benefits and limitations. At our office, we believe in empowering our patients with honest, helpful information. Below, we’ve outlined some of the key pros and cons of Invisalign to help you make an informed decision.

Pros of Invisalign

  • Nearly Invisible Appearance: Clear aligners are discreet and less noticeable than traditional braces.

Cons of Invisalign (That You Should Still Know)

  • Requires Patient Discipline: Aligners must be worn 20–22 hours per day for optimal results.
  • May Involve Temporary Discomfort: As teeth shift, mild pressure or soreness may occur.
  • Not Ideal for All Cases: Some complex orthodontic issues may still require traditional braces.
