Why did I choose Invisalign?
The first and foremost reason to choose Invisalign is the fact that the braces are – more or less – invisible. I’m an adult (I’m 33 years old) and didn’t really look forward to wearing dental braces for the duration of my time.
A second reason I chose Invisalign is that my orthodontist told me it was actual quicker than other types of braces. This surprised me, because how can a few pieces of plastic be faster than real braces? Well, Invisalign sure works fine for me! I’m happy with my outcome so far, although it’s quite a journey.
Things haven’t always been easy. It puts quite some pressure on your dental hygiene routine and it comes with a lot of discomfort and social consequences (taking your aligners out and in your mouth when eating). But if you want to get nice teeth, you have to suffer the Invisalign consequences!
