Invisalign: An Effective Alternative to Braces
Invisalign is an innovative new form of orthodontic treatment that (unlike traditional braces) allows patients to straighten their teeth without the use of metal brackets and wires. Rather, Invisalign utilizes sets of clear and personally customized aligners that fit over your teeth like snug-fitting mouth guards. The soft plastic they are made from does not irritate you the way metal braces can. Furthermore, because of their transparent coloration these aligners are all but invisible—allowing your smile to shine through during your orthodontic treatment.
A More Flexible Lifestyle
In addition to the comfort and appearance benefits of Invisalign, the system’s aligners will make your life easier as you adapt to your orthodontic treatment.
You see, unlike braces Invisalign aligners are removable. As such, you have no dietary restrictions like you would with braces because you can simply take your Invisalign aligners out whenever you eat. Moreover, you can take out your Invisalign aligners to brush and floss (making your oral hygiene routine easier), and for special occasions as well.
Invisalign Treats Many Conditions
Invisalign can effectively and efficiently treat a variety of problems, such as:
- Overly crowded teeth
- Widely spaced teeth
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
Benefits of Invisalign for Children
It offers several advantages that make it a preferred choice for many parents and children:
-
Comfort and Convenience
The aligners are made from smooth plastic, reducing the risk of irritation to gums and cheeks. Unlike braces, there are no brackets or wires that can cause discomfort.
Children can remove the aligners for meals, making it easier to enjoy their favorite foods without restrictions.
-
Improved Confidence
The nearly invisible design of the aligners helps children feel more confident during social interactions. They can smile without worrying about the appearance of braces.
-
Simplified Oral Hygiene
Maintaining oral hygiene is easier with Invisalign. Children can remove the aligners to brush and floss thoroughly, reducing the risk of cavities and gum problems.
-
Fewer Dental Visits
This treatment requires fewer in-office visits compared to traditional braces. Parents and children can enjoy greater convenience with fewer appointments for adjustments.
