Transitioning from Braces to Invisalign®: Why It’s Worth Making the Switch
If you’ve experienced traditional braces and are considering switching to Invisalign®, you’re not alone. Here at Goehring Dental in Austin, TX, we’ve helped many patients make the transition to Invisalign® for its improved aesthetics, greater convenience, and modern approach to orthodontics.
Here’s why making the switch is worth it and how Invisalign® can be a game-changer for your smile journey.
1. Invisalign® is considered a Discreet, Confidence-Boosting Treatment
Braces are effective, but their metal wires and brackets can stand out. Invisalign® aligners, however, are virtually invisible, allowing you to smile confidently throughout your treatment.
Why It’s Worth It:
Invisalign® aligners blend seamlessly with your natural smile, making them perfect for social and professional settings. Whether you’re finishing alignment or addressing minor shifts, Invisalign® offers a subtle, effective solution.
2. Comfort Designed for You
Say goodbye to the days of wires poking and brackets causing irritation. Invisalign® aligners are custom-designed for a smooth, comfortable fit that feels as natural as your smile.
Why It’s Worth It:
You’ll get to enjoy the freedom of removing your aligners for meals and or a needed break for brushing teeth, etc. You can say goodbye to discomfort that you may have experienced in the past from traditional braces.
3. Eat What You Love Without Worry
Braces come with a list of food restrictions, but Invisalign® aligners are removable, letting you enjoy all your favorite dishes.
Why It’s Worth It:
Indulge in crunchy, chewy, or sticky foods without a problem (and proper cleaning after 😆). You will be able to easily maintain your oral hygiene routine without maneuvering around wires and brackets.
4. Keep Your Oral Hygiene Routine on Track
Brushing and flossing around braces can be tricky. Invisalign® makes it simple to keep your teeth and gums healthy during treatment.
Why It’s Worth It:
Simply remove your aligners to brush and floss like usual.
Avoid the plaque buildup and staining often associated with traditional braces.
5. Faster, More Predictable Results
In many cases, Invisalign® offers shorter treatment times compared to braces, thanks to its advanced technology. With a clear plan and precise movements, you’ll achieve your dream smile in no time.
Why It’s Worth It:
Get a customized treatment plan that often requires fewer adjustments and in-office visits.
Preview your future smile with advanced 3D imaging before treatment even begins.
6. Flexibility That Fits Your Lifestyle
Life is busy, and Invisalign® is designed to keep up. Whether it’s a big event, a workout, or a family gathering, you can adapt your aligners to your schedule.
Why It’s Worth It:
Remove your aligners whenever necessary—whether for photos or a celebratory meal.
Spend less time in the dentist’s chair with fewer adjustment appointments.
7. A Simple Solution for Post-Braces Shifts
Teeth can shift slightly after braces if retainers aren’t worn consistently. Invisalign® is a hassle-free way to address these changes without reverting back to traditional braces.
Why It’s Worth It:
Quickly correct minor shifts with a discreet, effective treatment plan.
Protect and maintain the smile you worked so hard to achieve.
