Why More Patients Are Choosing Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign treatment has become one of the most popular orthodontic care options in the U.S. because it combines the results of traditional orthodontic treatment with the freedom and aesthetics patients want. With Invisalign clear aligners, you can straighten your teeth without altering your lifestyle significantly.
Our Invisalign trained doctor in Wakefield offers a free consultation to assess your teeth and recommend the right treatment plan. Thanks to advancements from Align Technology, Invisalign treatment effectiveness now rivals that of conventional edgewise braces for many cases, including moderate crowding cases, open bites, and overbites. The ability to easily remove Invisalign aligners for meals, events, or photos makes it a flexible choice for busy teens and adults alike.
Virtually Invisible Appearance
One of Invisalign’s most appealing benefits is its nearly invisible design. Invisalign aligners are made from clear, smooth plastic, making them a discreet alternative to conventional fixed appliances. This means you can smile confidently throughout your entire treatment without the self-consciousness that can come with traditional brackets and wires.
Patients appreciate that Invisalign allows them to maintain a professional or polished look in social settings. Whether you’re giving presentations at work, attending special events, or simply taking photos with friends, your orthodontic treatment won’t be the focus — your beautiful smile will.
Comfort and Customized Fit
Unlike traditional braces that use metal components, Invisalign aligners are custom made aligners designed to fit comfortably over your teeth. Each set of customized aligners fit correctly thanks to precise digital scans taken by our Invisalign trained doctor. This ensures there are no sharp edges to irritate your gums or cheeks.
Because the aligners are tailored to your mouth, you’ll experience minimal discomfort as your teeth shift into place. Any mild pressure you feel is a sign that your treatment work is progressing. This customized fit also means fewer unexpected dental visits for adjustments compared to conventional edgewise braces.
Easier Oral Health Maintenance
Invisalign aligners can be removed for brushing and flossing, making it easier to maintain good oral health throughout your treatment. With conventional fixed appliances, cleaning around wires and brackets can be challenging and may increase your risk of cavities or gum problems.
By being able to remove the aligners entirely, you can brush and floss as usual, ensuring your oral health stays strong during the entire treatment plan. Our Invisalign provider will also give you simple care tips for cleaning your aligners to keep them fresh and clear.

Dietary Freedom
One of the biggest inconveniences of traditional braces is the dietary restrictions. Hard, sticky, or chewy foods can damage wires and brackets. Invisalign aligners eliminate this concern entirely.
Since you can easily remove Invisalign aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water, you can continue enjoying your favorite foods. This flexibility makes Invisalign treatment more enjoyable and less disruptive to your daily routine.
Predictable Treatment and Proven Effectiveness
The Invisalign system uses advanced computer modeling to map out your entire treatment plan from start to finish. This technology, developed by Align Technology, allows for accurate predictions of tooth movement and treatment results.
In studies published in Angle Orthodontist, Invisalign treatment effectiveness was supported by blind review assessments from three orthodontic professors. The peer assessment rating index showed significant improvement in average initial PAR scores, with efficiency compared to conventional fixed appliances in many cases. These findings confirm that Invisalign is a reliable orthodontic care option for a wide variety of cases.
Comfort During Treatment
While some pressure is expected when switching to a new set of aligners, Invisalign aligners are generally more comfortable than conventional edgewise braces. The smooth, single layer design eliminates the risk of metal components poking or irritating the mouth.
Patients report less soreness and fewer emergencies compared to traditional orthodontic treatment. The aligners are also free from tightening appointments, meaning fewer in-office visits and less discomfort during your Invisalign journey.
Flexibility for Teens and Adults
Invisalign clear aligners are ideal for both teens and adults who want orthodontic treatment that fits into their lifestyle. Teens unlike braces can enjoy a virtually invisible treatment option that won’t interfere with school events, sports, or social activities. Adults can undergo orthodontic treatment without drawing attention in professional or personal settings.
The flexibility to remove the aligners when necessary — whether for a special occasion or just to enjoy a meal — is a benefit that appeals to all age groups.

Fewer Office Visits
Traditional braces often require monthly adjustments and occasional emergency visits for broken wires or brackets. Invisalign treatment typically involves fewer office visits because you change your aligners at home according to your treatment plan.
You’ll still have regular check-ins with Dr. Kravitz to monitor your progress, but these visits are usually shorter and less frequent, saving you time while ensuring your treatment work is on track.
Affordability and Insurance Coverage
Many patients are surprised to learn that Invisalign is more affordable than you think. Invisalign treatment cost varies based on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment, but flexible financing options make it easier to fit into your budget.
Our office in Wakefield uses the Orthofi insurance verification tool to check your dental insurance coverage and determine your coverage amount before starting treatment. Many insurance plans that cover orthodontic treatment also provide benefits for Invisalign aligners, helping to make your new smile even more attainable.
Long-Term Results and Retention
The benefits of Invisalign don’t end when your last aligner is removed. Once your teeth are in their new positions, you’ll receive a custom retainer to help maintain your straight smile. This ensures that your treatment results last for years to come.
With proper retention and oral health care, the improvements from Invisalign treatment can be permanent, allowing you to enjoy your beautiful smile for a lifetime.
