For years, people have turned to traditional metal braces to straighten crooked, overcrowded, gapped teeth, and misaligned bites. However, as advancements in dentistry and orthodontics continue, an alternative approach is catching the eye of both regular individuals and celebrities alike – Invisalign! Read on to learn more about the benefits of clear aligners and which of Hollywood’s elite are choosing discreetness over bulky metal.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a clear aligner system that is discreet to wear but shifts your teeth into proper alignment. Instead of relying on bulky and obvious metal brackets and wires, Invisalign is crafted from SmartTrack technology, allowing for greater precision, a snug and comfortable fit, and fewer surprises along the way. It gives patients who want a more invisible way to straighten their teeth the opportunity to enjoy the same great results that are commonly achieved with traditional braces.
The Benefits of Invisalign
With Invisalign, patients will notice many unique differences and benefits that come from this method of treatment, such as:
- Aligners that are clear and discreet instead of bulky metal that shines a spotlight
- Quick results that are often achieved in about 12 months instead of 2-3 years
- The ability to eat the foods you love without worrying about it getting stuck in your braces
- Less irritation because no bulky wires and brackets are rubbing against your soft oral tissues (i.e., cheeks, lips, tongue, gums)
- An easy-to-clean solution that requires a soft-bristled toothbrush, clear soap, and lukewarm water to keep clean
Which Celebrities Have Used Invisalign?
Since more and more people are turning to Invisalign to straighten their teeth and boost their confidence, you may not find it to be too surprising that many celebrities are also jumping on the bandwagon. No one wants to be in a movie or cut a record while attempting to maneuver around metal braces, so here is a list of some of Hollywood’s biggest celebrities who have used Invisalign to realign their smiles:
- Zac Efron
- Justin Bieber
- Tom Cruise
- Oprah Winfrey
- Serena Williams
- Zendaya Coleman
If you’re considering Invisalign to change the health and aesthetics of your smile, you’re making an excellent choice. These clear aligners allow for greater freedom and quicker results, both of which are appealing aspects of treatment. If you’re unsure whether you’re eligible, don’t wait to talk to your dentist. They can closely examine your smile and make the right recommendation for your needs.
