Traditional braces have stood the test of time when it comes to straightening teeth and achieving a beautiful smile. In some cases, traditional metal braces are still the best option for a patient, depending on their individual case. However, over the years there have been tremendous advances in the orthodontic field, and patients today have many options available for straightening their teeth, including Invisalign.
Invisalign is a system of clear, custom-made aligners that gently move the teeth into place. Overbite, or underbite, Invisalign effectively corrects a wide variety of dental problems. Whether your teeth are widely gapped, overly crowded or somewhere in between, Invisalign could be an option for you.
Invisalign Reduces the Risk of Decay
Since the Invisalign aligners are not permanent, it makes it easy to keep your teeth clean during treatment. The removable aligners allow you to take them out so you can brush your teeth, floss and eat comfortably. We recommend keeping your aligners clean by brushing them without toothpaste and rinsing with cool water. Invisalign is a great choice when it comes to maintaining good oral hygiene.
Advantages of Invisalign
Invisalign utilizes a computer program to accurately align your teeth, which builds precise and predetermined movements into each aligner. This makes Invisalign treatment very efficient! Additional advantages of Invisalign include:
- Invisalign is virtually hassle-free.
- The aligners should be worn 22 hours per day and that leaves two hours for eating and brushing.
- There are no diet restrictions, eating is easy, and brushing and flossing will be the same as before.
- Invisalign has an esthetic advantage as it is almost unnoticeable in your daily life.
- Invisalign is made from smooth and comfortable plastic.
- Often, treatment duration is reduced with Invisalign.
