These awesome aligners can effectively correct and straighten crooked and misaligned teeth, and in a very convenient and discreet manner! That said, there are many \u201cdo-it-yourself\u201d alternatives to Invisalign out there that claim to offer similar results\u2014but do they actually? Keep reading to learn about four reasons why Invisalign outperforms other DIY options and why it\u2019s the preferable choice for straightening your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #1: Invisalign Starts with an In-Office Consultation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s wise to consult with your dentist before beginning any form of treatment. That said, visiting your dentist for an in-office consultation about Invisalign will allow your provider to ensure that your mouth is healthy and can handle wearing the aligners. However, many people find the idea of DIY alternatives appealing because they <strong>don\u2019t <\/strong>have to set foot inside of their dentist\u2019s office. But visiting your dentist to start the Invisalign process will ensure that your aligners are properly fitted and shaped for your mouth; DIY options are often one-size-fits-all and won\u2019t feel comfortable to wear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #2: Your Dentist Will Supervise Your Invisalign Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On that note, opting for Invisalign over DIY alternatives will allow your dentist to supervise and guide you throughout the treatment process. This means that as soon as a problem develops or you\u2019re uncertain about something, you\u2019ll be able to seek help. It also ensures an uninterrupted treatment process. Although DIY alternatives are more convenient and don\u2019t require regular checkups, this also leaves plenty of room for doubt, error, or problems to remain undetected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #3: Reputable Organizations Do Not Recommend DIY Clear Aligners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The American Dental Association (ADA), the most trusted of all professional dental organizations, has approved and recommended Invisalign for safe use. But the ADA, along with many other organizations, actively discourage the use of all DIY orthodontics. Their reasoning is simple; these products do not meet adequate standards for safety or efficiency, and many consumer warnings and complaints have been issued over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #4: Invisalign Is Proven to Be Reliable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign has helped millions of patients achieve straighter and healthier smiles\u2014and this number only continues to grow! Invisalign\u2019s positive track record and countless positive reviews say it all; their reliability and effectiveness aren\u2019t matched by any of the available DIY alternatives. In fact, many of these products have mixed or poor reviews; some patients even experience worsened orthodontic issues because of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your smile is an important part of you, and you shouldn\u2019t have to settle for an unsatisfactory straightening solution! Talk with your dentist if you\u2019re curious about Invisalign; it\u2019s viable, reliable, and the superior method for correcting your pearly whites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Smile More Dentistry serves the dental needs of the Tappan area under the leadership of five skilled specialists: Dr. LaCap, Dr. Tong, Dr. Davidson, Dr. Park, and Dr. Shamszadeh.
