Adult Orthodontics
Invisalign
Invisalign is an Orthodontic aligner system designed to straighten your teeth. They are form-fitting custom-made retainers that slowly change the tooth’s position over time. They move the teeth in a similar way to how braces work however Invisalign is conveniently removable and transparent making them virtually invisible. They do what braces do without the restrictions. Invisalign is custom-made for your teeth so you do not need wires and brackets. Little by little, your teeth shift into the place they are supposed to be, creating the smile you have always wanted.
Apart from invisibility and convenience, there are many other reasons to choose Invisalign. Here are some of the top, most important, reasons to use Invisalign.
1. AS EFFECTIVE AS TRADITIONAL BRACES
Invisalign is as effective a treatment as traditional braces. Underbites, overbites, overcrowding, and gaps between teeth are all things that can be addressed when using Invisalign. You will be fitted for several versions of retainers that make slight adjustments to move your teeth over the treatment time. They are made from a clear plastic or acrylic material and fit tightly over the teeth.
2. EATING HABITS
When wearing braces, there are many things you should not and cannot eat. There is no popcorn, no apples, no raw carrots and so on. Invisalign removes these restrictions because of their removability.
3. AESTHETICS
Although one of the least important factors. This is a major reason people choose Invisalign over traditional braces. They are practically invisible which make them almost non-existent and being able to remove them completely is an obvious bonus.
4. YOUR DENTAL HYGIENIST WILL APPRECIATE IT
The aligners being removable make brushing and flossing easy. This helps maintain proper oral hygiene. When teeth are cooked or cluttered they are harder to clean giving bacteria a playground in your mouth. Once your teeth have moved the instruments the hygienist uses are more effective. You may spend less time in the dentist chair getting your teeth cleaned.
5. A GOOD BITE
Orthodontics was invented to help improve health. It is not just about a perfect smile. A good bite can stop the jaw clicking, pain in joints around the mouth, and will improve chewing.
