You may have been putting off orthodontic treatment because you want to avoid dealing with metal wires and brackets. Well, those days are far in the past. Now you can discreetly and comfortably get the perfectly aligned grin you\u2019ve always wanted with clear aligners. If you\u2019re on a budget, you might be thinking about getting DIY clear therapy. Read on to learn why you\u2019re ultimately better off investing in Invisalign treatment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invisalign Is Worth Every Penny<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most patients considering DIY clear aligners are only doing so because they want to cut back on expenses. However, you may end up paying much more than you think in the long run. That\u2019s mainly because the upfront cost of DIY clear aligner therapy does not include additional trays or any other intervention. Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificviewdentalgroup.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign\u2019s<\/a> overall price includes dental visits and all associated monitoring throughout the process. You\u2019re ultimately guaranteed a better overall value for the money spent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">You\u2019re Guaranteed Dental Supervision<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest disadvantages of DIY clear aligners is the lack of professional dental supervision. Those companies only conduct remote checkups and rely on patients to send photos of their progress, meaning you\u2019ll need to be the one to alert your dentist of any problems or adjustments that are needed. On the other hand, your dental team will be right by your side every step of the way on your Invisalign journey. You\u2019ll have regular appointments with your dentist, allowing for an overall smoother treatment process. With their help, you can address issues like cavities, decay, and gum disease right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invisalign Has Dental Organization Approval<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While Invisalign is recommended by all major professional dental organizations, DIY clear aligners are not. The American Association of Orthodontists (AA) has issued a consumer warning about all direct-to-consumer orthodontic companies. Additionally, the American Dental Association (ADA) strongly discourages the use of DIY clear aligners because they believe dental care should always be supervised by a trained professional. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Complex Orthodontic Issues Are Not a Problem<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most direct-to-consumer orthodontic companies warn customers that those with extensive dental needs or a history of poor oral health should not use their aligners. That\u2019s mainly because the DIY clear aligners are not capable of achieving their desired results. However, Invisalign uses high-quality products and materials that can correct even the most severe dental misalignment cases. That means you can have peace of mind knowing you\u2019re getting the best treatment for your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read the points above if you\u2019re struggling to choose between Invisalign and DIY clear aligners. It should be easy to see what the clear winner is!
