Invisalign: Top 6 Benefits
Crooked or misaligned teeth can potentially cause future dental issues, such as decay, further movement and difficulty cleaning. Over time, teeth that aren't properly cleaned may eventually contract periodontal disease and put your gum and bone at further risk, causing tooth loss.
One way to correct this issue is by wearing braces. However, people can be sometimes put off having much needed dental work because of the thoughts of unsightly and uncomfortable braces in their mouth. But thanks to advancements made in modern dentistry, these issues of the past are no more as we can no over a wide range of treatment such as Six Month Braces, See Through Braces and Invisalign - an increasingly popular form of orthodontic treatment among our teen patients. But, just what is Invisalign...
Appearance
Your Invisalign aligners are invisible, meaning they won't distract from your face and most people won't even know you're having treatment. This is why Invisalign is becoming increasingly popular among teens, young adults and professionals who are often in the spotlight.
Comfort
As Invisalign is made from smooth plastic, they are far more comfortable than traditional metal braces. Instead of any protruding edges, Invisalign is custom made so it fits naturally and comfortably into your mouth.
Cleanliness
Invisalign aligners are removable, which means that you can take them our when you are ready to brush and floss your teeth and pop them back in once you're done! The aligners themselves can also be removed, allowing for no build up of food debris. It's important to remember that a clean mouth is a healthy mouth!
Saves Time
As you'll only need to have your Invisalign aligners maintained every 6 weeks, you'll spend less time in the orthodontist 's chair!
Eat As You Please
No one likes being told what they can or can't eat, which is one of the worst parts about traditional metal braces. Foods such as toffee or anything too hard or sticky are strictly off limit. These problems don't exist with Invisalign, as you can safely remove your aligners and eat as you please.
