Why Choosing a Professional Aligner Treatment Like Invisalign Is Superior To Over-The-Counter Options

In modern times, we are all about the do-it-yourself fixes. More control over what we do, as well as being able to save a couple of bucks, has us tending the garden, attempting our own automobile repairs, or fixing up our own homes ourselves. Among all age groups, millennials are the largest group looking to save money where they can. While this is an admirable quality in most regards, you should trust the professionals when it comes to your teeth. This includes straightening and aligning your teeth. You can buy cheaper over-the-counter options, but they do not compare to professional solutions like Invisalign clear aligners. Dental patients in Cleveland, Ohio, consult Dr. Tony Lu at Cleveland Downtown Dental when they are looking for their smile makeover.

It is almost a certainty that you have seen commercials on the television advertising generic take-home clear aligners which promise you a straighter smile. While these are cheaper solutions than a professional treatment like Invisalign, you really do not want to cut corners when it comes to your teeth and bones. Your smile is too important to not only your appearance but to your overall oral health, to potentially put it at risk just to save a few dollars. 

Here are some benefits of Invisalign clear aligners.

Personal Treatment

When you come in to visit Dr. Lu, images will be taken of your teeth so that custom aligner trays can be crafted, which are designed specifically for your personal treatment. This is no one size fits all solution where your aligners are boiled and molded to your teeth’ shape. Invisalign aligners are crafted from a specialized SmartTrack material engineered to provide a perfectly comfortable fit. These aligners are also designed for minimal discomfort while still fitting snugly on your teeth.

Professional Supervision

When you elect to undergo the Invisalign treatment, you are not only getting the physical trays that will straighten your smile, but you are also getting an intangible, yet invaluable, feature as well – professional supervision. Your dentist will be there with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and provide any guidance and help you may need as your treatment progresses. When your aligner trays arrive, you will go in and have them put on by your dentist to ensure that they fit properly and to address any initial concerns you may have. You will then have periodic follow-ups with your dentist to ensure that the treatment is progressing correctly.

These are just a couple of benefits that come with choosing Invisalign clear aligners. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Dr. Lu at Cleveland Downtown Dental by calling (216) 616-1155 today!
