Invisalign Dentists
Invisalign Dentists | Many adults have had such negative experiences with traditional metal braces in their youth that they are reluctant to have their children repeat the process.
Although there have been incredible advances in these types of braces, which are no longer as obtrusive as uncomfortable as before, there is an undeniable stigma surrounding them. If you are looking for other options for straightening you or your child’s teeth, you should consider Invisalign.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an innovative system for straightening teeth that does not rely upon wires or brackets. Instead, clear plastic aligners are utilized to shift teeth into their desired positions. Every few weeks, your aligners will be swapped out for a new set to ensure that your teeth are shifting according to your individual treatment plan. It’s important to note that these clear aligners can only be prescribed ribbed by Invisalign dentists.
What are the benefits of the Invisalign system?
Invisalign offers numerous benefits and advantages over alternative systems, including:
Unobtrusive
One reason that many people choose Invisalign is that it is very difficult for anyone to detect that you are using the system. The aligners that Invisalign relies upon are made of clear plastic. In fact, the system is virtually invisible. The only way that anyone will know, unless you choose to tell them, that you are straightening your teeth is by “getting in your grill” so to speak.
The fact that Invisalign is a less obtrusive system makes it highly sought after for anyone who wants to live a normal life while their teeth are being straightened, particularly teens living through their awkward teenage years. Also, Invisalign dentists offer consultations to assure the clear aligners are perfect for your smile.
Invisalign Is Removable
Invisalign is incredibly convenient because you can remove your aligners at any time. Do you need to brush or floss your teeth? No problem. Simply remove your aligners, clean your teeth, and pop your aligners back in when you’re finished. Just be sure that you are keeping your aligners in your mouth for the prescribed amount of time so that your teeth shift according to your treatment plan.
Fewer Appointments With Your Invisalign Dentists
If you are wearing metal braces, you will need to visit the dental office periodically to have your rubber bands and wires tightened. With Invisalign, you have the freedom to fully enjoy your daily activities while knowing that your teeth are being aligned and repositioned.
More Comfortable
Even if you have never worn traditional braces, you probably know about how uncomfortable they can be. The brackets and wires needed for traditional braces result in tension, particularly whenever they are tightened.
In contrast, Invisalign allows you to remove your trays to eat, brush and floss your teeth. Invisalign alleviates any type of discomfort and scraping against your cheek, tongue or gums.
Food Restrictions
This is a major one for many people. Unlike metal braces, there are no food restrictions with Invisalign. You do not have to worry about chewing crunchy or sticky foods that could adhere to your wires and brackets. Whenever you need to snack or eat a meal, you simply remove your aligners and replace them when you are done.
