Are you struggling with crooked teeth? If so, then you may want to learn more about Invisalign. Invisalign is a tooth straightening system that uses aligner trays to move teeth into the appropriate position gently. Not only does it help restore dental health, but it also helps patients to regain their confidence once again.
Of course, there are other straightening systems to choose from, so you may be curious why so many people are selecting this option. Let’s go over some of the major benefits of choosing Invisalign over all of the rest.
Virtually Invisible
Let’s face it; wearing braces can be somewhat embarrassing for some people. However, Invisalign is virtually invisible, meaning that most people won’t even notice that you are wearing it.
Comfort
Invisalign are much more comfortable, especially in comparison to traditional wire braces. You may need your dentist to file down the rough edges of the trays, but other than that, they are comfortable to wear from the very start. Most people have a very short adjustment time, and then they hardly notice the aligners at all.
Convenience
You’ll have much fewer dentist appointments with Invisalign. Wire braces require regular tightening, and Invisalign simply requires that you receive your appropriate trays. You’ll still need to attend your regular dental check-ups to ensure your teeth and gums are healthy.
Removable
There are benefits to being able to remove the aligners. Not only does it mean you can eat what you want, but it also means that you don’t have to worry about food getting stuck inside of them. Instead, pop them out to clean them and brush your teeth. It’s as simple as that. Of course, you’ll want to be sure that you’re wearing the aligners the recommended amount of time. They can only straighten your teeth if you wear them!
Whiten While You Straighten
The trays can also be used to add in whitening treatments. You can whiten and straighten your teeth all at the same time. This means that you’re making the most of the trays without having to worry about dual treatments. Your dentist can offer some guidance on how to do this at home.
Safety
Wire braces can cut into cheeks and gums. However, Invisalign is much safer, and you don’t have to worry about accidentally poking yourself. The trays are smooth and customized to fit your teeth perfectly. If you feel any ridges, you should consult your dentist right away so that they can be adjusted appropriately.
Cost-Effective
In comparison, Invisalign is a fraction of the cost of other straightening systems out there. Plus, they achieve faster results.
Amazing Results
One of the biggest advantages is that while there are so many conveniences associated with Invisalign, it also produces amazing results.
