The nearly invisible orthodontic is an alternative to braces and wires and offers several advantages to the wearer. Family dentists in Scarborough recommend Invisalign for patients with mild to moderate teeth misalignment. Generally, people suffering from crossbite, overbite or underbite can benefit from Invisalign.
Invisalign treatment uses clear plastic aligner trays to adjust crooked teeth into proper alignment. The aligners are worn for 20 hours a day and can be easily removed to allow for good oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing.
What Are The Benefits Of Invisalign?
Invisalign is clear and comfortable: The aligners are made from smooth plastic and are nearly transparent. As a result, Invisalign is easily worn in comparison to metal brackets and wires. Unlike braces, there are no sharp edges with Invisalign and apply less pressure to align your teeth.
Invisalign is removable: The aligner trays are easily removable, making it more convenient to follow proper oral hygiene. Brushing and flossing become more natural as it becomes easier to reach difficult places.
There are no food limitations with Invisalign: With metal braces, a person needs to avoid certain food items until the dental correction is complete. If you find it difficult to follow these restrictions, then Invisalign might be the best dental correction for you. Since you can easily remove Invisalign trays, you will be able to enjoy your food like before. However, you will need to thoroughly clean your teeth before you can wear the trays again.
Invisalign trays are easy to clean: Cleaning Invisalign trays are simple. After brushing your teeth, you can also gently brush the trays with the toothbrush. You can then rinse them in lukewarm water and place them back in.
Invisalign aligners are nearly see-through: The obvious advantage of Invisalign over regular metal braces is its appearance. Invisalign is made from a transparent material and, therefore, difficult to spot. On the other hand, metal braces and wires are easier to spot, making them less attractive. Many adults and teens avoid braces because of how they look in the mouth.
Invisalign is highly effective: From minor misalignment issues to moderate problems, Invisalign is used for correcting an underbite, overbite, teeth gap, among other areas.
