Dental hygiene tips for healthy teeth & gums

What is the success rate of Invisalign?

Invisalign is everyone’s first choice for teeth straightening treatment. Invisalign aligners are just like traditional braces but are more comfortable and easy. Traditional braces have metal wires, buttons, etc., but Invisalign is made up of clear plastic with no extra wiring or metal components, and they are removable at the same time, which makes them an ideal tool for the teeth straightening process.

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that works very well in giving the desired results. However, the one factor determining the success of the Invisalign treatment is how much time you are wearing them and following your dentist’s advice. If you are determined enough and follow all the rules, taking all the precautions with Invisalign, the treatment is a sure shot of success, and you will have a perfect smile by the end of the treatment. On the other hand, if you are not wearing your Invisalign aligners as told by your dentist or not maintaining proper dental hygiene and other guidelines, there are high chances your Invisalign treatment will not work.

A lot of patients have doubts about the success of the Invisalign treatment. But there are many benefits of this simple-looking tool called Invisalign aligners. On average, Invisalign treatment has a 96% success rate. In addition, you can opt for the Invisalign treatment for minor and major dental issues like gapping, cross bites, misalignment, etc. The Invisalign treatment lasts up to 9-12 months and provides optimum results. Therefore, sometimes people doubt the success of the treatment in such a short time as compared to the traditional metal braces.
