4 Benefits of Invisalign®
Invisalign® is a popular brand of clear aligners that allow patients to straighten their teeth in a discreet manner. This treatment is used for patients with crowded teeth, crooked teeth, jaw misalignment, teeth gaps, and more. When compared with traditional braces, Invisalign® offers unique benefits. Read on to learn more about this teeth-straightening option.
4 Benefits that come with choosing Invisalign®
Learning more about the benefits of Invisalign can help those who are considering teeth-straightening treatment to decide which solution is the best option for them. The following are four of the most notable benefits of opting for Invisalign.
1. Invisalign is essentially invisible
As the name suggests, Invisalign trays cannot be seen by others unless they try really hard to see them. This means no one is likely to notice you are going through orthodontic treatment while wearing Invisalign, although they may notice as your teeth shift into their proper position and their alignment (and often your confidence, as well) starts to improve. This is, of course, a great benefit for many who fear how visible traditional metal braces are.
2. Invisalign trays are removable
Invisalign trays are intended to be worn for at least 20 to 22 hours each day. However, the patient does have the ability to remove them, and they are required to do so while eating or brushing and flossing. People who choose Invisalign can also remove the aligners during important moments, such as giving a presentation at school or work. This can also lead to improved oral health as it allows patients to reach all areas of teeth more effortlessly during brushing and flossing. The ability to remove the aligners is a huge benefit for many patients, although it comes with an added level of responsibility of wearing the aligners the majority of each day and not misplace or break them.
3. Patients have fewer dietary restrictions
Traditional metal and ceramic braces are vulnerable to damage from chewing tough, sticky, or hard foods. In addition, certain foods and drinks can increase the risk of tooth stains, particularly in the area where the brackets are on each tooth. There are far fewer dietary restrictions with Invisalign. Of course, with that said, it is important to limit the consumption of high-sugar foods and drinks and avoid any habits that may damage teeth, such as chewing ice and hard candies.
4. Invisalign offers improved comfort
There may be some minor discomfort as teeth shift into their proper position, but the reported level of discomfort is on average less with Invisalign than it is with traditional metal braces. This means functioning each day without worrying about the discomfort caused by orthodontic devices is much easier with Invisalign.
