According to a recent survey conducted for the American\nAcademy of Cosmetic Dentistry, 48% of Americans agree that a person\u2019s smile is\ntheir most memorable feature when making a first impression. In fact, numerous\nstudies around the world report that a beautiful smile can make you appear\nhealthy, self-assured, and trustworthy. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to\nmake a good first impression if you\u2019re embarrassed by your crooked teeth or a\nmouthful of bulky traditional braces. Thankfully, metal wires and brackets aren\u2019t\nthe only way to improve your smile anymore. Invisalign in Bothell<\/a>\noffers a comfortable and effective treatment that won\u2019t make you feel self-conscious\nas you get straighter teeth. Find out why more than 7 million people have\nchosen to get the smile they\u2019ve always wanted with these clear aligners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll Look and Feel Great<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps one of the best things about Invisalign is that you\ndon\u2019t have to sacrifice your looks in the present to get a better smile in the\nfuture. These clear plastic aligners are designed to fit precisely over your\nteeth, becoming almost invisible in your daily life. This way, you can talk,\nsmile, and laugh without worrying about showing off a mouth full of metal.\nUsing Invisalign can improve both your looks and your self-confidence at the\nsame time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Freedom and Fewer Restrictions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wires and brackets can easily be damaged by sticky or\ncrunchy foods, so wearing traditional braces requires you to adjust your diet\naccordingly. Since Invisalign aligners can be removed whenever you eat or\ndrink, you don\u2019t have to give up your favorite foods during treatment. Simply\ntake them out, enjoy all the chips, nuts, and gum you like, and then pop them\nback into place after a quick brushing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Removing your aligners also allows you to continue enjoying\nyour favorite sports and hobbies. Traditional braces often get in the way of\nplaying instruments like the trumpet or flute and can easily break while playing\nsports like football or basketball. As long as you wear your Invisalign\naligners for at least 22 hours every day, you can remove them whenever you need\nto, whether it\u2019s before practice, a concert, or a game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They\u2019re a Cleaner and More Comfortable Alternative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A recent study from Texas A&M University revealed that\nInvisalign users report much lower levels of discomfort than those with\ntraditional braces. Not only do the alignment trays gently shift your teeth\ninto place, but they also lack any sharp, protruding points that can irritate\nyour soft tissues. Traditional braces also easily trap food particles in areas\nthat are difficult to clean, which can end up causing cavities. Without a\ntangle of wires and brackets to clean around, Invisalign can help keep your\nteeth healthy as they\u2019re being straightened. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clunky, awkward metal braces aren\u2019t your only option for straighter\nteeth. Enjoy the process of getting the smile you always wanted with the help\nof Invisalign! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
