5 Things You Didn’t Know About Invisalign

3. There are no food restrictions. While traditional braces will force you to watch movies without popcorn and skip your morning bagel, the removable trays of Invisalign allow you to enjoy your favorite foods without the risk of ruining your treatment plan. 4. Invisalign trays are 100 percent BPA-free. Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical compound found in plastics, which has been linked to negative impacts on brain development and cases of infertility. The smooth plastic Invisalign trays are made without this controversial chemical, while still maintaining their durability. 5. When you receive your Invisalign treatment from A+ Family Dentistry, you enjoy $500 off the total cost of your Invisalign treatment, plus a free teeth whitening session once treatment is complete.

If you cringe at the sight of your teeth in a mirror or run for cover when someone pulls out a camera, you’ve probably spent some time thinking about how to correct your teeth. There are many treatment options out there, from traditional metal braces to lingual (behind the teeth) braces. Rather than suffer the pain of unsightly metal brackets, 4 million adults and teenagers around the world choose Invisalign. The confidence and comfort offered by these transparent, plastic trays make Invisalign a popular choice, but aesthetics aren’t the only benefit. Here are five facts you need to know about Invisalign: 1. Invisalign doesn’t just straighten crooked teeth. Your Invisalign treatment can also correct an overbite, underbite, open bite, crossbite, gaps between teeth, and overcrowding. 2. You’ll have fewer dentist visits with Invisalign than you would with traditional braces. On average, Invisalign patients enjoy four to six weeks less time in the dentist’s chair than patients with braces.
