Instead of using wires and brackets, which braces use, Invisalign uses detachable, transparent trays instead. Invisalign and how many people pick it as an orthodontic treatment should be investigated more closely.
Here’s the incredible benefits of using Invisalign Teeth Aligners:
Overbite, open bite, crossbite, severe overjet, crooked teeth, crowded teeth, and gaps between teeth are all addressed with this procedure.
- Braces are easier to maintain. You should brush your teeth thoroughly after eating to avoid food getting lodged in your teeth and producing plaque and cavities. With clear aligners, no matter where you are, the removal is straightforward and the brushing and cleaning are effortless. Because of this, it is easier to maintain correct oral hygiene, and as a result, good dental health results.
- Invisalign is a removable treatment that doesn’t connect to your teeth in any manner. When you eat, drink, brush, or floss, these plastic aligners can be removed. Read How do invisalign attachments work?
- As a result, the patient does not have to come into the office as they will be receiving aligners prior to advancing to the next step of treatment. No more regular visits are required to tighten the wires and bands on metal braces, therefore fewer visits are required.
- Potentially reduced treatment time: Depending on the severity of the problem, the time it takes to fix it could be anywhere from 6 months to 2 years. To put this in perspective, it takes traditional braces between 1 and 3 years, depending on the particular instance.
- The Invisalign aligners are quite comfortable, as there are no orthodontic archwire, brackets, or sharp edges to worry about. To make things easier on the user, the trays are made of silicone and are smooth to avoid causing painful cuts or sores in the mouth. They can be worn for up to 22 hours a day without feeling uncomfortable.
- Almost Invisible This type of aligner is manufactured from a translucent plastic material, which is normally difficult to see. Most people will not even realize because there are no wires or brackets used. While getting treated, it will allow you to have a gorgeous smile.
