Some kids really luck out by being born with great teeth or having parents who are in a position to pay for orthodontia. However, not everyone is blessed with either of those situations. If you are someone who has crooked teeth as an adult, you may want to look into getting yourself Invisalign. Invisalign retainers are clear and can be removed a few times a day to eat and brush your teeth. They are an easy and discreet way to straighten your teeth — most people will not even know that you have them. Here are a few more reasons why it might be time to try Invisalign.

Comparative Pricing

When Invisalign first came out, it was quite a bit more expensive than regular braces. However, advances in technology have made the retainer making process substantially easier. In fact, there are now several different companies that are making teeth straightening retainers, which has lowered the price for everyone. Invisalign will now cost about as much or maybe even less than regular braces. Talk to your orthodontist for more information. 

Shorter Duration

Invisalign retainers can actually put a bit more traction on teeth, helping them to move a bit more quickly than they would with metal braces. What used to take several years may now take only a third or a quarter of that time. Some Invisalign users may only need to wear their straightening retainers for a few months until their teeth get into shape. For more information about how long you will need Invisalign, talk to your orthodontist. 

Increase Your Confidence

Have you ever felt a little self-conscious about your smile? Maybe you didn't ask out that person you have been wanting to date, or you kept quiet when you wanted to speak up in class. If your smile has been holding you back, Invisalign can help with that. Instead of getting bulky, metal braces, Invisalign will be a clear retainer that most people won't notice, and then in just a few short months, you could have the smile of your dreams. Don't let your smile hold you back anymore. 

In conclusion, Invisalign retainers are like everything you wanted from braces, only more discreet and quick for potentially the same price. Talk to your dentist or orthodontist to get more information on Invisalign. If you have already waited until you are an adult, it's time to take care of your smile once and for all.
