Invisalign clear plastic aligners are a popular alternative to traditional metal braces. They address similar bite issues and smile flaws.
Just as the name suggests, these plastic aligners are clear and unnoticeable to others. Aligners can also be removed, which means you don't have to change your diet, and you can continue enjoying your favourite food. After meals, you can brush and floss before putting your aligners back, which allows patients to keep up their excellent oral hygiene.
Aside from appearance and comfort, Invisalign holds many more benefits.
Invisalign Adapts to Your Lifestyle
Patients who are active in sports or other physical activity may prefer the smooth edges of Invisalign as opposed to potentially sharp and cutting brackets. You can even take them out to play a game if that is more comfortable! We find that anyone who grinds their teeth, especially at night, often benefit from Invisalign.
Patients with mild to moderate smile flaws and misaligned bites may find that Invisalign treatment works better with their lifestyle. Invisalign is custom-fabricated, so each tray fits perfectly with your teeth. Traditional metal braces rely on more force to straighten teeth, which means adjustments to ensure that the force is constant. While force can be a reliable strategy, it may mean mild discomfort. Invisalign, however, gently shifts your teeth into place, resulting in a more pleasant and pain-free orthodontic experience.
