So why not make a different kind of resolution this year? Straightening your teeth with Invisalign has a 100% chance of success, and you can achieve the smile you\u2019ve always wanted without spending years in metal braces. And since it has a 96% satisfaction rating from more than 6 million people, you can be confident you won\u2019t regret it. Gym memberships may go unused and old habits die hard, but Invisalign in Las Cruces is one resolution that\u2019s easy to stick to! Learn more below about the many benefits you can expect from this fantastic alternative to braces.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Advantages of Invisalign&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the biggest reason people choose Invisalign is the fact that it\u2019s virtually invisible (which busy adults love because they don\u2019t have to feel embarrassed about being in orthodontic treatment). But the benefits don\u2019t end there:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Comfort&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 Clear aligners are made of smooth plastic that won\u2019t irritate your gums, lips and cheeks like brackets and wires can.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Flexibility&nbsp;<\/strong>\u2013 If you have a special event like a wedding or presentation at work, you have the flexibility to remove your trays.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Cleaner, healthier teeth and gums<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 It\u2019s very difficult to clean around metal brackets, which increases the risk of cavities and gum disease after treatment. With Invisalign, you\u2019ll be removing your trays before you brush and floss, so it\u2019s much easier to keep things clean and healthy.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Less treatment time<\/strong>&nbsp;&#8211; The average treatment time for Invisalign is 9 to 18 months. For braces, it\u2019s usually 18 to 24 months. However, it\u2019s important to remember that you must wear your trays at least 20 to 22 hours per day to finish on time.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>No dietary restrictions<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2013 You\u2019ll be removing your trays before meals, so you won\u2019t have to give up any of your favorite foods like popcorn, bagels or nuts.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are You a Good Candidate For Invisalign?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign is a great option for many people and works on most of the same bite alignment issues as braces, including:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Crowding and gaps<\/li><li>Underbites<\/li><li>Overbites<\/li><li>Cross bites<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, traditional braces may be recommended for particularly severe issues to make sure you get the best results. To know for sure if Invisalign is the best choice, start by scheduling a consultation with an&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paintedskiesdental.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign-certified dentist.<\/a>&nbsp;After determining that Invisalign is right for you, they can give you an estimate of your treatment time and even show you virtual results of how your smile will look.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This New Year\u2019s, why not make a resolution that\u2019s guaranteed to work? In just a matter of weeks, you can be on your way to a beautifully healthy, straight smile \u2013 without the hassle of braces!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paintedskiesdental.com\/meet-our-dentists.html\">Dr. Natalie J.
