These clear aligners have taken the world of modern dentistry by storm, and many patients are turning towards Invisalign to achieve straighter and healthier smiles. That said, there are many \u201cdo-it-yourself\u201d alternatives out there that claim to offer the same results as Invisalign\u2014but do they actually? Here are four reasons why Invisalign outperforms other DIY options and why it\u2019s a highly recommended option for straightening your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #1: Invisalign Starts at Your Dentist\u2019s Office<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your dentist is the expert on oral healthcare, so it\u2019s always wise to consult them before any type of treatment. That said, Invisalign starts with an in-office consultation that will allow your provider to ensure that your mouth is healthy and able to benefit from wearing the aligners. While many people find the idea of DIY aligners appealing because they <em>don\u2019t<\/em> have to set foot inside their dentist\u2019s office, visiting them will allow them to see that your aligners properly fit, as DIY options are often one-size-fits-all and won\u2019t feel comfortable to wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #2: Your Dentist Will Supervise Your Whole Treatment Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On that note, your dentist will also supervise you throughout the whole process, whereas this is not the case with DIY aligners. This means that as soon as problem arises or you have any concerns or questions, your dentist will be able to step in and assist you. It also ensures an uninterrupted treatment process. Even though DIY aligners might seem more convenient, and you don\u2019t have to schedule regular checkups for them, this also leaves a lot of room for error and doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #3: Reputable Organizations Don\u2019t Recommend Using DIY Clear Aligners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The American Dental Association, one of the most trusted of all professional dental organizations, has approved and recommended Invisalign for safe use. However, they actively discourage the use of all DIY orthodontics, stating that these products do not meet adequate safety standards for safety or efficiency. There have also been many consumer warnings and complaints about some of them over the years, so using them is often risky. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #4: Invisalign Is Trusted and Reliable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The proof is in the pudding; Invisalign has helped millions achieve a straighter and healthier smile, and this number continues to grow. Invisalign\u2019s positive track record and countless stellar reviews say it all; their reliability, effectiveness, and subtlety aren\u2019t matched by any of the available DIY alternatives. In fact, many of these products have mixed or poor reviews, and some patients even experienced worsened orthodontic issues because of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your smile deserves the absolute best treatment that modern dentistry has to offer, and Invisalign is a cut above the rest! Talk with your dentist if you\u2019re interested in getting started; it\u2019s reliable and viable and certain to correct your pearly whites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Jonathan E.
