If you aren’t currently happy with the appearance of your smile thanks to crooked, crowded, or gapped teeth, this doesn’t mean that you need to spend a year or two with metal braces to get the results you’ve been hoping for. Another option is available to help you achieve a beautifully aligned smile without the aesthetic drawback of braces. Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners to slowly shift your teeth into their rightful locations. Here are some things to consider so you can choose the best Invisalign dentist for you.
Experience and Training
You should choose a dentist who has plenty of training and experience in Invisalign. Look into the types of continuing education they have undergone and from which organizations. This information can be found on their website. When you see that they are up-to-date with all of the latest techniques and technology that dentistry has to offer, you will feel much more confident when putting your smile in their hands.
Patient Reviews
To obtain more insight into what you can expect from your Invisalign treatment, check out some online reviews for the dentist in question. Platforms even allow you to search the word “Invisalign” to find reviews that are highlighting exactly what you’re looking for. By reading about the experiences that previous patients have had, you will be able to make a much more confident decision about whether or not you would like to consider them for your treatment. Many positive, detailed reviews are an excellent sign.
Initial Consultation
You don’t need to commit to a specific dentist for Invisalign before attending a consultation. Your consultation will be a great opportunity for you to see the environment that the dentist and their team work in, ask them questions about their credentials, learn about how much the treatment will cost and which payment options are available, and get a feel for the dentist’s personality.
Check Out Before and After Photos
Take a look at photos of patients’ smiles before and after their Invisalign treatment. This way, you can give yourself a more realistic view of what your final results will look like. This is also a great time for you to see some of the previous work from the dentist that you are considering for your treatment.
Don’t settle for a smile you aren’t proud of. By using the tips listed above, you will be well on your way toward a straighter smile in no time!
