Invisalign® aligners can work to straighten and realign the smile without any negative impact on your appearance. In contrast to traditional metal braces, it does not have visible wires and brackets that can make patients self-conscious when smiling. Continue reading to know how getting Invisalign® can change your smile.
Invisalign aligners are composed of polyurethane plastic and fit snugly on teeth. They are made to pressure the patient's teeth, gradually shifting them into a better position. Unlike conventional metal braces, which are permanently attached to the teeth, Invisalign aligners are removable by patients. Patients can eat all of their favorite foods without worrying about their aligner trays. They only need to take off their trays when eating, clean up and replace them afterward.
Apart from being a discreet method for straightening teeth, Invisalign aligners offer several additional advantages. The following are some of the most compelling reasons to select Invisalign:
Since Invisalign aligner trays are easy to remove, it is much easier to clean the teeth and maintain optimal oral health. Braces are permanently locked in place, which means that those who wear them do not have the option of removing them before meals. Because of this, food particles and other debris get trapped on the brackets and wires that come with these braces.
When it comes time to brush your teeth, these brackets and wires can get in the way. Therefore, patients may be more at risk of developing tooth decay. No one wants straight teeth that are unhealthy due to decay. Users of Invisalign can undergo teeth straightening without risking gum disease or tooth cavities.
Invisalign clear aligners are much more comfortable than traditional braces. Metal wires and brackets may irritate the delicate tissues in the wearer's mouth, but the soft plastic used in the trays does not.
Traditional braces tend to restrict the dietary choices available to the user. For example, it is difficult to eat fruits like apples when wearing braces. Food particles are frequently lodged in the wires and brackets, and the user may even dislodge part of the metal device accidentally.
The time it takes to clean the braces usually outweighs the pleasure derived from the meal. If food particles are not removed from braces, the patient is at risk of decay. Food particles trapped in braces may cause embarrassment as well as foul breath. If oral health issues set in while undergoing orthodontic treatment, it might extend the treatment time.
People who suffer from bruxism will be relieved to learn that Invisalign aligner trays help lessen the habit's effects. It functions like a mouthguard, although that is not its main purpose.
