Do you dislike how your crooked teeth look on every selfie you take? Have you got a gappy or overcrowded smile that you just don’t feel great about?
Alignment problems can make you very self-conscious. You might not enjoy smiling because you’re worried about what others think about your teeth. Invisalign is here to solve these problems for you.
Invisalign is the world’s leading clear aligner system. This popular choice is an effective way to straighten your teeth. But what sets it apart from other orthodontic treatments?
Here are five reasons why so many people love Invisalign.
So often, when people think about teeth straightening, they think about traditional metal braces. This type of brace has long been the most popular orthodontic option and is still widely used today.
Traditional braces are great at straightening teeth, but most people dislike the idea of wearing a metal train track across their teeth.
With Invisalign, there’s no metalwork. In fact, there’s nothing on show at all.
You’ll wear a clear, removable plastic aligner that’s very hard to spot. From a short distance away, your smile will look completely normal.
Overcrowded, crooked, or gappy smiles are why people choose Invisalign. But teeth straightening is about so much more than that.
Bite issues such as overbite, underbite, and crossbite can cause jaw issues. You may have jaw, shoulder, or neck pain or even experience headaches as a result of the alignment of your teeth. Invisalign can prevent these bite issues.
Fixed braces are made up of brackets and wires. Because they’re attached to your teeth, they can’t be removed. While eating, food will often get trapped under the wires and it can be very difficult to clean debris from fixed braces.
Invisalign is removable. This means that you can take them out to eat. You can also remove them while you brush your teeth.
Being removable doesn’t just make it easier to keep your teeth clean during treatment; it also reduces the risk of tooth decay.
Fixed braces need to be tightened repeatedly to create the necessary movements to straighten your teeth. These adjustments can be uncomfortable.
With Invisalign, your teeth will still move. The variations in pressure needed to keep pushing your teeth toward a straighter position will come about by changing your aligner.
During treatment, we’ll give a new aligner every couple of weeks. Each is slightly different to the last one. There’s no need for appointments, and we won’t physically adjust anything.
Invisalign is made from medical-grade plastic. It’s smooth and lightweight. After a while of wearing your aligner, you’ll barely notice you’ve got it in.
Braces, on the other, have metal brackets which stick out of each of your teeth. These can scratch the inside of your mouth.
Invisalign takes the stress out of straightening your teeth. The convenience of the treatment and the confidence it brings excites new patients of all ages. To find out whether Invisalign can change your life, give us a call today and schedule your appointment.
