Crooked, misaligned teeth can cause dental complications, such as gingivitis, which threaten your overall health. While you may have considered straightening your teeth with Invisalign® but wondered if another system might be better, you may be glad to hear that Invisalign offers benefits beyond an outstanding smile.

At Dental Town DC, our team of dental expert have given hundreds of women, men, and children in the DC area healthier, straighter teeth with Invisalign, a nearly invisible tooth-straightening system. If you’re ready for the smile of your dreams, read on to learn five surprising benefits of using Invisalign clear aligners.

1. Invisalign is comfy … and more

Clear aligners don’t have the sharp edges of traditional braces, which makes them more comfortable to wear, but not all clear dental aligners are created equal. Only Invisalign clear aligners are fashioned from patented SmartTrack®, a highly elastic, soft material that offers more comfort than clear aligner alternatives. Even better, the SmartTrack material makes it easier to put on and take off your aligners and provides a gentle, but consistent force to improve the movement of your teeth.

2. Invisalign is faster

The SmartTrack aligners bring you to your ideal smile 50% faster than other straightening systems. Traditional braces force each tooth to move individually.

In contrast, the one-piece system from Invisalign exerts a constant force on all of your teeth. This helps your teeth move into place faster, giving you the smile of your dreams sooner.

3. Invisalign fits better

Precisely fitted aligners are imperative for excellent results. With Invisalign, your dentist creates a 3D image of your teeth using their patented iTero Element® scanner. This cutting-edge technology simulates the specific, desired movements of each tooth at each stage of alignment, ensuring the most precise fit for optimal results.

4. Invisalign fixes complex problems

Many women, men, and teens have one or more teeth that need a little extra help moving into correct alignment. Using the Invisalign SmartForce® attachments, your dentist can achieve complicated dental movements without metal braces. The minuscule, barely visible SmartForce attachments allow your dentist to apply different forces to troublesome teeth, ensuring they move into place without added metal or rubber bands.

5. You benefit from 7 million smiles

Invisalign uses the data from the more 7 million patients who’ve already selected it to straighten their teeth to finetune the formula for fast and effective straightening. Translation? Your dental straightening is backed by 7 million smiles! Your Dental Town DC dentist uses the Invisalign software coupled with their expert input to ensure every tooth in your mouth moves to the right place at each stage of treatment.
