subject: Are You A Good Candidate For Invisalign Invisible Braces? [print this page] If you are looking into having cosmetic dental work, such as having your teeth straightened with Invisalign, you may wonder whether or not you are a good candidate for this type of treatment. There are some things you may want to know that will help you determine whether or not Invisalign is something you are eligible for and will benefit from.
A good candidate for Invisalign will have the following qualities:
Has good dental habits already established - If you already have brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings and check-ups as part of your life, you may be a good candidate for Invisalign.
Is in good oral health - If you have taken care of cavities, extractions, and any other dental work that has been necessary to keep you orally healthy, you may be a good candidate for Invisalign.
Wants to have a better smile - If you are not happy with your smile, and you want to take control over this part of your life, you may be a good candidate for Invisalign.
Has a problem with crooked teeth, an overbite, overcrowded teeth, or even an under bite - Invisalign may be a good choice for you, and you might benefit from having this type of dental work more than you can imagine.
Wants to have his or her teeth straightened with a method that is hardly noticeable at all - Invisalign is so unnoticeable because it is virtually invisible. Almost nobody will be able to tell you are having a treatment to straighten your teeth, unless you tell them.
Is willing to be an active participant in their own teeth straightening process - When you have Invisalign as your method of straightening teeth, you will be responsible for changing the aligners every couple of weeks.
Wants to save time with the entire process - Not only is Invisalign faster than some of the other methods, but having this type of dental work also saves time with appointments. You will spend very little time in the office of your cosmetic dentist, and will be able to work your appointments around your other time commitments.
