Convincing reasons to opt for Invisalign
Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment recommended for overcrowded, gapped, and crooked teeth. In addition to straightening teeth, Invisalign can correct malocclusions such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, and open bites. While metal braces can correct these dental issues, many patients prefer Invisalign for the following reasons.
- Invisibility: This is a big one! Can you imagine straightening your smile without anyone noticing it? Unlike metal braces that are conspicuous even to a person 20-30 meters away, Invisalign is hard to see, even for someone a few feet from you. Many patients, particularly adults, feel embarrassed and uncomfortable wearing metal braces for an extended period. Invisalign trays are nearly invisible, ensuring discreet treatment throughout the process.
- Removable convenience: Conventional braces move teeth using metal wires, brackets, and elastics permanently attached to your teeth. This means your appliances stay in place when eating and cleaning teeth. Invisalign trays are detachable, allowing you to clean your teeth and eat food without limitations. After finishing your meal or oral hygiene routine, you can easily remove and put your aligners back on.
- Comfort: Invisalign aligners are made from the proprietary SmartTrack material, which is smooth, flexible, and comfortable. This is a huge plus compared to traditional braces, which have rough edges that irritate gums and cheeks. Invisalign trays fit snugly over your teeth and are gentle on your soft tissues. While some people experience mild pain and tenderness when moving to a new set, the discomfort only lasts a few days as your teeth adjust to their new positions.
- Fewer dental visits: Traditional braces require dental visits every 3-4 weeks for regular adjustments to the brackets and wires. In contrast, Invisalign requires fewer dental appointments. You follow your dentist’s instructions and switch to the next set of aligners every two weeks. However, it would be best if you visited the dentist every 6-8 weeks to monitor your treatment progress.
- Personalized treatment: Metal braces are the same for everyone. In contrast, your Invisalign aligners are made just for YOU. Invisalign starts with digital scans of your teeth to create a 3D model of your smile. The Invisalign lab creates aligners, offering a personalized treatment experience using your digital records.
