7 Common Myths About Invisalign - Get the Facts & Smile Confidently

The 21st century is about mindfulness, self-actualization, self-esteem, and building your confidence. Now, keeping all these points in mind, alignment for teeth should not be neglected after all that smile of yours boosts your confidence.

There are multiple ways to rectify those crooked teeth of yours. At The Dental Roots, our team of orthodontists in Delhi and Gurgaon brings to you a permanent solution to give you a better smile with invisible aligners aka Invisalign.

Before beginning Invisalign treatment, several questions arise about teeth alignment. These are those common myth-busters that our team of Invisalign specialists jotted down for you:

  1. Myth #1: Invisalign Is Only for Teens: Age is no bar when it comes to rectifying that smile of yours, especially for teeth alignment. Invisalign categories vary from case to case and definitely for different age groups. Invisalign Teens is aimed at teenagers, whereas Invisalign Aligners are for adults. They are also termed as ‘adult braces.’ Their mechanism of action is different from the teens with smart track material. The price of Invisalign aligners also varies from teen to teen.
  2. Myth #2: It’s Slower Than Braces: Invisible aligners aka Invisalign, are a faster treatment than conventional metal braces. The duration of treatment varies from case to case, and also the patient's compliance, i.e., how regularly the patient wears their invisible aligners/ braces, how judiciously they are maintaining their oral hygiene along with their retainers/ Invisalign. There are multiple factors to it, but it is proven that the duration is shorter than that of conventional braces.
  3. Myth #3: You Can’t Eat Normally: The biggest advantage of having Invisalign is that one is free to have anything they want without any diet restrictions! With conventional braces, you have few diet restrictions and have to be extremely cautious of oral hygiene. Invisalign is designed in a way where one needs to take out their aligners before their meals, eat and drink freely as they want, rinse after, and put the aligners back in. This is one of the major factors why one prefers invisible aligners in South Delhi and Gurgaon city, as our metropolitan patients are always on the go.
  4. Myth #4: It’s More Painful Than Traditional Braces: In alignment for teeth, be it Invisalign or any other invisible aligners, the treatment is absolutely painless. Every aligner of yours, each set, is designed in a way to provide the patient with absolute comfort and a painless dental treatment. The surface of aligners is absolutely smooth yet strong enough to cause the desired movement of the teeth.
  5. Myth #5: It Doesn’t Work for Complex Cases: Invisible aligners, especially Invisalign, are known for resolving complex cases like overbite, open bite, crowding of teeth, cross bites, scissor bites, class 2 malocclusions, where one’s teeth are placed or protruding outwards, and so on. With the advancement is orthodontic modern dentistry, Invisalign uses SmartTrack® material and SmartForce® features to overcome each and every complex case and give you that Hollywood smile makeover in Delhi and Gurgaon clinics. Invisalign aligner prices in South Delhi and Gurgaon clinics might vary from case to case, depending on the complexity of the case.
  6. Myth #6: You’ll Speak Funny: One is expected to wear invisible aligners for a minimum of 16 hours a day. With the advancement in alignment for teeth with Invisalign, the thickness of the aligners/retainers is even less than 0.75mm; thus, you will not speak funny, and your speech is absolutely clear. Invisible aligners are extremely comfortable to wear and are specially crafted for today’s world. Virtually, Invisalign is invisible aligners, and the other person across your Zoom meeting wouldn’t even get to know that you are undergoing a braces treatment. It is here to boost your confidence, not to reduce it any further.
  7. Myth #7: It’s Too Expensive to Consider: We have all been taught about the concept, “prevention is better than cure.” And this should definitely apply when it comes to one’s oral care. There are various categories of Invisalign, and depending on the complexity of the case, the Invisalign aligner price varies from case to case. The starting cost of Invisalign in New Delhi and Gurgaon is approximately Rs. 1.5 lakh. The Dental Roots, being the diamond provider of Invisalign, brings to you the best treatment option with a payment plan that all our patients and clients can consider.

Whatever I can write about the team at The Dental Roots will not provide justice to their world class customer service, period. I firmly believed that honest and dedicated customer service only existed in countries such as USA where I lived for a while. But, my experience with Dental Roots has turned that perception upside down. Seven and a half years ago I had my root canal and crown treatment done with them. There was a minor chipping of the crown recently. I am no longer living in Gurugram but I was in Delhi/NCR for other work for less than a week and when I approached the Dental Roots with my concern, immediately Dr Dheeraj removed the defective crown and got me a replacement crown in just two days, all of this was done at zero fee, even after seven and a half years! Their facilities are world class and hygienic with five star like ambience. Everyone from receptionist to doctors and assistants are highly professional and responsive to customer needs. Highly recommend them!

Had an awesome session at The Dental Roots Clinic with Dr.Ritika She is a really good professional and a great person! I had a great time during my visit to The Dental Roots clinic. Dr.Dheeraj Setia's team of Doctors are highly professional, they listened to my concerns patiently and after sharing the overview, I had Teeth Whitening treatment done. Dr.Dheeraj Setia's staff followed proper sanitization procedures and ambience of the setup is very pleasing.

Dr.Ritika showed so much care and concern that I forgot that she is my dentist and came back earning a friend in her! I strongly recommend The Dental Roots Clinic
