Quality of life and career success: how Invisalign transforms your smile and future
The Invisalign clear aligner system has been widely studied and debated regarding its effectiveness and advantages when compared to traditional fixed orthodontic appliances. The main attraction of Invisalign is its discreet aesthetics and the convenience it provides to patients, making it a popular choice among those seeking a more comfortable and less visible treatment. Invisalign treatment was extremely effective in the orthodontic treatment in this case. The patient was very happy with the ease of treatment in terms of aesthetics and oral hygiene, and she did not want to undergo any type of orthodontic treatment that was visible or involved brackets. She also reports that her more aligned teeth have impacted her quality of life and her professional career, enabling her to speak more assertively and overcoming her fear of interacting in the corporate world, being hired by a large multinational company to be CFO, Chief Financial Officer, because she overcame her fear of expressing herself. Therefore, Invisalign was able to treat a case of class 1 malocclusion in a patient who supposedly would not undergo any type of treatment, opening up the possibility of treating this type of patient who needs orthodontics, has purchasing power, but does not want conventional treatment. This can disrupt their personal and professional life. And in a much shorter time, in the case of 7 months of treatment with 14 aligners, whereas if we were to perform conventional orthodontic treatment, it would certainly take more than 2 years of treatment, due to the very crowded and misaligned lower teeth and the fact that there is no space to place lower brackets, prolonging the treatment and we would have to place resin in the occlusal region to be able to place the conventional orthodontic appliance, causing a series of chewing discomforts and possible breakage of the appliance, prolonging the treatment time. It is a treatment that changed the life of the patient, who was previously shy and afraid of speaking in public, to a more confident and certain person who can indeed change her life, as happened in this case and in so many others. The objective of this article is to demonstrate how a beautiful and aligned smile positively impacts the patient's quality of life and professional success.
