Your smile is often the first thing people notice about you. A bright, beautiful smile can improve your confidence and make you look more approachable. So if you’re curious about the different ways to achieve that winning smile without the hassle of braces, you should probably consider Invisalign.
Invisalign is a term used to describe a revolutionary new system of cosmetic dental treatment that is fast, comfortable, and discreet. It uses clear removable aligners worn over your teeth to straighten them without wires and metal brackets. Keep reading to find out why these clear removable plastic aligners are growing in popularity among both teens and adults.
Discreet Appearance
Wearing metal braces can make some people feel self-conscious. If you’re one of them, we’re happy to tell you that there is a more discreet, almost invisible solution to your problem—Invisalign!
Invisalign aligners are crystal clear and discreet to the extent that they are almost invisible. The precise and snug fit makes them barely noticeable when you speak or smile. This means fixing your smile does not have to get in the way of your confidence.
Easily Removable
While the old-school metal braces are affixed permanently to your teeth for the entire duration of your treatment, Invisalign aligners are easily removable.
Certain food items may be off limits as far as braces are concerned since food particles may get stuck to the metal brackets, and removing them can be a hassle. Invisalign aligners provide you with the liberty to eat and drink whatever you choose.
In addition, Invisalign allows you to maintain a healthy dental hygiene routine effortlessly and keep cavities and tooth decay at bay. You can easily remove them during meal times, brush and floss your teeth as you generally would, rinse, and pop them right back in.
Super Comfortable in the Mouth
Metal braces are infamous for the pain and discomfort associated with them. The wire brackets create an awkward tension that forces the teeth into alignment, resulting in soreness and pain in your gums and teeth.
Moreover, the braces must be evaluated for readjustment every couple of weeks. Naturally, tightening the wires and springs can cause chafing of tender mouth tissue, leading to increased sensitivity and discomfort.
Fortunately, with Invisalign aligners, you need not fret about a bunch of wires rubbing against your cheeks and probing into your gums. The aligners are made with 100% safe, smooth plastic. They are also custom-made for your particular diagnosis and specifically designed to fit snugly around your teeth for optimum comfort.
Fewer Dental Appointments
Though you might have to schedule occasional brief visits to your orthodontist to assess your progress and receive a fresh new series of aligners based on the next phase of your treatment, you don’t have to visit the dentist’s office as regularly as you would have to do with braces.
Your physician will also be able to provide detailed instructions on how to change the aligners on your own. Additionally, Invisalign treatments are 50% faster than conventional methods due to their advanced technology.
With its clear and undeniable benefits, Invisalign is quickly becoming a popular alternative to conventional braces for people seeking dental correction across the globe. From comfort and convenience to freedom, flexibility, renewed confidence, and a dazzling smile, Invisalign provides you with a convenient dental solution.
