Invisalign and Its Advantages

If you have been considering orthodontic treatment to straighten your smile, you might have wondered if Invisalign might be right for you. Invisalign is an advanced system of transparent plastic aligners that progressively straightens your teeth. These custom-made aligners fit your teeth at each stage of treatment and apply pressure at specific points so that there is no need for brackets or wires. Our Invisalign provider can use Invisalign in much the same way as braces to treat overbites, underbites, crossbites, gapped teeth and crowded teeth.

Some of the advantages of Invisalign include: 

1. They are transparent, making them almost invisible when you wear them. 
Many teens and adults are uncomfortable with the idea of wearing visible braces. Invisalign aligners are made to fit over your teeth without any noticeable wires or brackets, and your friends, family members and coworkers will never need to know you are wearing them.

2. They require no food restrictions. 
Patients who undergo treatment with conventional braces often have to forego a variety of foods because they can damage either their teeth or braces. With Invisalign, you can simply remove the aligners when you eat, and you can enjoy whatever you want, including whole apples, popcorn, nuts, corn on the cob and anything else you like. 

3. Brushing is a breeze. 
Cleaning your teeth can be a complicated ordeal with braces because you have to brush around bulky brackets and maneuver floss around the wires. If you miss a spot, your dental health could be at risk. With Invisalign, you will brush and floss while your aligners are out just like you did before you wore aligners.
