Why Are More People Choosing Invisalign For Orthodontic Treatment?

When it comes to information regarding braces and your smile, it’s important to get the facts (and your teeth) straight. In recent years, more and more individuals are choosing Invisalign clear aligners for orthodontic treatment over traditional metal braces. While metal braces are still the preferred method for complicated orthodontic adjustments, an increasing number of orthodontists, prefer utilizing Invisalign technology to fix minor to moderate orthodontic problems. Continue reading to learn about the many benefits of Invisalign treatment.

Appearance

When comparing the two in terms of aesthetics, the most obvious difference is their appearance, or in Invisalign’s case, lack thereof. Instead of using wires and brackets, Invisalign uses a progression of clear, highly customized clear plastic aligners that are virtually unnoticeable when worn. This puts users at ease, as they can smile with confidence throughout their orthodontic treatment.

Effectiveness

Since Invisalign treatment is relatively new in the field of orthodontics, many people want to know how effective the results will be compared to traditional braces. In my experiences, Invisalign results on par to those of traditional braces. With Invisalign, every aligner is made from a highly-advanced 3-D computer scan that detects every contour of every tooth. The digitalization of the process eliminates any human error and users can be confident that their aligners are made to fit their mouth perfectly.

Fast-Track Your Smile

An advantage of Invisalign is the short amount of time it takes to attain a perfect smile – in some cases, this can be little as six months! Depending on the severity of the adjustments needed, users may receive as few as 12 aligners, or as many as 48. Each aligner is worn for roughly two weeks and is to be removed from the mouth only to eat, drink, brush and floss. This means that Invisalign users are required to wear their aligner trays for 22 hours per day. As one aligner is replaced by another, your teeth will begin to gradually move into place week-by-week until you have the perfect smile you’ve always dreamed of!

Care of Teeth & Eating

The fact that the aligners can be taken off means wonders for the user. Rather than meticulously brushing and flossing around cumbersome brackets and wires, aligners are removable for easy cleaning. Users are able to brush and floss like normal and continue eating the foods they love while metal braces require many food restrictions. Clear Invisalign aligners are low-maintenence and can be cleaned by simply brushing them with a toothbrush and toothpaste.

The Advantage is Clear

In summary, Invisalign is the perfect treatment for an orthodontic patient who is looking to obtain a perfect smile in a more aesthetic manner. Our Invisalign patients prefer Invisalign because they are discreet and more comfortable than traditional braces. Plus, the time it takes to achieve your picturesque smile is often shortened.
