Invisalign has taken the world of modern dentistry by storm and has quickly become one of the hottest cosmetic solutions available! These awesome aligners are able to discreetly straighten teeth and provide patients with a beautiful and healthier new smile. That said, if you’re interested in receiving Invisalign for yourself, you might be unsure about how to find the perfect dentist for the job. Here are a few tips to keep in mind so that you can find the best provider for your smile.

1. Consider Their Experience

Because Invisalign is relatively new, you might think that it could be difficult to find a skilled provider. But dentists receive much more training and education than what they learn in dental school, and several providers complete extensive training in specific fields (like Invisalign) so that they can provide top-of-the-line care.

Orthodontists, for example, receive a far different and specialized branch of training than your average dentist. This training and other relevant information, certification, and affiliations is usually listed on a dentist’s website, and some green flags that you should look for include being a “Preferred,” Premier,” or “Elite” Invisalign provider. These statuses indicate that a dentist has completed several classes and treated numerous cases, meaning that they’re well-versed in Invisalign treatment.

2. Browse Through Patient Reviews & Before/After Photos

Any time that you’re curious about receiving cosmetic dental work, patient reviews and before/after photos are valuable resources. Looking at these items can be very informative if you’re curious about a certain provider’s work; not to mention, most dentists are quite thrilled to show off their previous work! With Invisalign, it’s very easy to visually track the results, meaning that these pictures can be especially informative. Reviews also give a large amount of insight about the office’s general atmosphere and how the staff operates—you’ll want to be sure that you feel right at home when you’re there.

3. Be Mindful of Your Needs

You should be mindful of all your needs when it comes to finding the right provider, and there are several things to consider that you might not initially think about. Are you looking to receive Invisalign yourself, or are you looking for another family member? Certain orthodontists specialize in treating teenagers, for example. Are you limited by your finances or your insurance plan? Do you need a provider with an office close to your house? All of these factors contribute towards the overall ease and ultimate success of your Invisalign treatment, so leave no boxes unchecked.

You don’t have to settle for crooked teeth—solutions like Invisalign are an incredible means of obtaining a straighter, more beautiful smile! Follow these tips to ensure that the dentist you go with is able to assist you with meeting your smile needs.
