Revolutionary Invisalign: 3 game-changing advantages

Invisalign consists of custom-made transparent aligners that gradually straighten your teeth.

 

Unlike traditional braces:

  • 100% discreet: no one can see you’re wearing an appliance
  • Removable: you take out the trays to eat and brush your teeth
  • Comfortable: no irritating metal, just smooth plastic

 

At HymySmile, our Diamond Provider status allows us to treat even the most complex cases with this technology.

Adults: why it's NEVER too late for a perfect smile

The real reason why 70% of adults choose Invisalign

Are you 25, 35, or 55 years old? No problem. Age is not a barrier.

 

Adults represent 70% of our Invisalign patients. Their motivations:

  • Professional discretion: no impact on their workplace image
  • Late correction: straightening a smile that has been bothering them for years
  • Post-orthodontic relapse: correcting teeth that moved after a first treatment

Typical profiles of our adult patients

In our practice, we regularly see:

  • Client-facing professionals: lawyers, salespeople, teachers who cannot afford to have visible braces
  • Adults with orthodontic relapse: their teeth moved 10-20 years after a first braces treatment
  • New parents: they want to correct their smile before important family photos

Teens: finally braces they WANT to wear

4 reasons why teens prefer Invisalign over braces

Teenagers are naturally active and social. Invisalign adapts to their lifestyle:

  • Sports without constraints: no risk of injury with metal
  • Free eating: they eat what they want, when they want
  • Self-confidence: natural smile preserved during treatment
  • Compliance indicators: blue dots that fade to check they’re wearing their aligners properly

What age can you start?

From 12-13 years old, when permanent teeth have erupted. Our Diamond expertise allows us to precisely evaluate the right time for each child.

REVELATION: these 4 dental problems are easily corrected with Invisalign

95% of cases are treatable: here's the proof

Our experience of over 1000 treated cases has shown us that Invisalign effectively corrects:

Dental crowding

  • Teeth overlapping due to lack of space
  • Average duration: 12-18 months

Gaps between teeth (diastemas)

  • Unsightly spaces between teeth
  • Average duration: 6-12 months for simple cases

Overbite (upper teeth covering lower teeth too much)

  • Progressive and precise correction
  • Average duration: 18-24 months

Dental malposition

  • Rotated or misaligned teeth
  • Visible results from the first months

The only 3 cases where Invisalign doesn't work

Invisalign is not suitable for:

  • Very significant dental rotations (more than 45°)
  • Certain complex extractions
  • Surgical cases requiring jaw intervention

But be careful: our Diamond Provider status gives us access to the most advanced techniques. Cases deemed “impossible” elsewhere are often treatable in our practice.

FAQ: The technical questions you don't dare ask

Can I get Invisalign if I have crowns or implants?

Yes, in most cases. Crowns and implants don’t move, but we adapt the treatment to move the other teeth around them.

How many hours per day must I wear the aligners?

22 hours minimum per day. You only remove them to eat, drink anything other than water, and brush your teeth.

What happens if I lose or break an aligner?

Don’t panic. Contact us immediately. Depending on your progress, you move to the next one or we order a replacement (1-week delay).

Is the treatment painful?

Slight discomfort the first 2-3 days of each new aligner. Much less painful than traditional braces.

Does Invisalign really work as well as braces?

For 95% of cases, yes. Our Diamond status gives us access to the most advanced techniques, with results equivalent to braces.
