If so, then you\u2019re probably considering getting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ambiancedentspa.com\/invisalign-clear-braces.html\">Invisalign<\/a>\u2014a faster and more discreet way for a perfectly straight smile! But is it possible to wear Invisalign after braces? Keep reading to learn how clear aligners correct your teeth and the advantages they come with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Invisalign treatment consists of you wearing a series of clear aligners to correct your teeth alignment. You\u2019ll be required to switch to the next trays every week or two. By putting consistent pressure with each set of aligners, your smile can become perfectly straight in 12-18 months!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can Invisalign Work Even If I Had Braces?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, you can! Even if you previously wore braces, you are likely a good candidate for clear aligners. Most adults who had braces as teens make up a major portion of Invisalign patients. While you can correct your teeth alignment again with this option, there are some limits to what this treatment can do. If you\u2019re experiencing more serious misalignment issues, then you may need to have metal braces instead of Invisalign. This shouldn\u2019t be an issue if you\u2019ve already had braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Advantages of Invisalign Over Braces?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who\u2019ve had traditional orthodontic treatment might recall some of the major drawbacks during the long and tough procedure. Here are several advantages you can enjoy with Invisalign that far exceed metal braces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Faster treatment time<\/li><li>Increased comfortability<\/li><li>Fewer checkup appointments<\/li><li>Accurate alignment<\/li><li>Provides discreetness (virtually invisible trays)<\/li><li>Much easier to clean your teeth, as the aligners can be removed<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to realign your teeth again after braces, then Invisalign can be a great option for you. Most people won\u2019t even know that you\u2019re going through the treatment unless you tell them. Once you\u2019ve finished your last set of trays, you can be sure to enjoy a straightened smile again. Speak with your dentist if you\u2019re interested, and they\u2019ll be glad to discuss your treatment plan!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Clarine Hightower studied and earned her dental doctorate from the Howard University College of Dentistry.
