Uncover the Myths:
Myth #1: “I’ve/my child has had Invisalign before as a retainer” or “I’ve used this before for teeth whitening”
Debunked: Invisalign is NOT a retainer or teeth whitening system. Also known as “clear braces,” Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth without metal or wires. After detailed impressions are taken of the teeth, the dentist or orthodontist utilizes proprietary 3D computer imaging technology to carefully map the patient’s complete treatment from start to finish. Patients wear each aligner for about two weeks. During this time, the aligners gradually move the teeth until they achieve the prescribed final position. Parents typically visit their doctor once every six weeks or so to ensure that treatment is progressing as planned and make necessary adjustments
Myth #2: “I thought Invisalign was only available for adults.”
Debunked: Invisalign worked with leading orthodontists to develop a product made especially for teens to meet their unique treatment and compliance needs as well as one that fits with their activelifestyles. An effective alternative to metal braces, the new Invisalign Teen product combines the benefits of the proven Invisalign system with new features like blue Compliance Indicators that are designed to gradually fade as the aligner is worn, Eruption Tabs that accommodate the growth of secondary molars, and Power Ridges, which provide additional force in cases where certain types of root movement are prescribed. Invisalign Teen also includes a replacement guarantee for up to six lost aligners, for added insurance.
Myth #3: “Invisalign must be more expensive than braces.”
Debunked: Every patient’s needs are different and there are many factors that determine the cost of Invisalign treatment. But, Invisalign is often comparable in cost to traditional braces, is covered by most insurance, and financing options are frequently available.
Myth #4: “It must take much longer for Invisalign to work vs. braces”
Debunked: Actually, the total treatment time with Invisalign averages between nine and 15 months and the number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30.
Myth #5: “I heard Invisalign could only be used to treat minor orthodontic issues, not severe or complex ones.”
Debunked: Invisalign is versatile and can help correct a broad range of dental and orthodontic issues including: Overly crowded teeth, widely spaced teeth, crossbite, overbite and underbite. And as with any medical service, consider getting a second opinion if you are told that you or your child is not a candidate. Not all dentist and orthodontists are certified Invisalign providers. Visit Invisalign.com and use the doctor locator to find qualified physicians in your area.
Bonus Myth #6: “The benefits of Invisalign for my child’s teeth straightening are purely cosmetic.”
Debunked: Since Invisalign aligners are comfortable and durable, it is easy for teens to continue their favorite activities such as playing sports and musical instruments. There are no dangerous wires or uncomfortable metal brackets poking or tearing their mouth and gums, which provides a safer option for active teens. And since teens can take the aligners out to brush and floss, they can maintain normal, healthy hygiene during their treatment – an important message that aligns with the mission of National Children’s Dental Health Month to raise awareness of the importance of oral health.
