Katherine Heigl talks about Invisalign Clear Braces
Increasing numbers of people are turning to Invisalign Clear Braces – and the growing number of celebrity endorsements partly explains why. Actress Katherine Heigl is the latest to reveal that she also wears Invisalign braces:
Heigl explained:
“It’s awesome because every two weeks you switch to a new retainer. Pretty much the perfect way to describe Invisalign is Netflix for your teeth.”
I think that’s a great way of explaining the benefits of Invisalign – although most of us in the UK might say Lovefilm. Either way, Katherine Heigl’s interviewer hadn’t even noticed the braces until she took them out.
The huge advantage of Invisalign over traditional metal braces is that you can remove them for better dental health – in other words, for brushing your teeth and eating – ensuring that no food gets trapped in between your braces.
And, as Heigl says, you get a new set of braces every two weeks. The advent of hi-tech 3D printing means that the computer-generated images of your teeth can be printed out on industry-leading 3D printers. That means you get new, clean braces just as you would, say, contact lenses.
