Comfortable, removable, and discreet aligners for orthodontic Invisalign treatment

Invisalign

Advantages of the Invisalign System

Invisalign uses a series of 3D printed aligners to provide the same light, continuous force that braces does to straighten the teeth. Invisalign trays are less noticeable and are easier to maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout orthodontic treatment. The aligners should only be removed to eat and brush/floss the teeth. This can also be a disadvantage: It means you must resist the temptation to take your aligners out more than is advised and remember to put them back in! Listed below are some of the advantages to Clear Aligners.

Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners

  • Improved Oral Hygiene — With an orthodontic appliance that is removable, you will be able to clean your teeth much more easily than if you were wearing metal braces.
  • A Discreet Look — If you consider your orthodontic treatment to be a private matter, or simply feel that metal braces don't fit with your self-image, a practically invisible form of orthodontic treatment might suit you.
  • More Dietary Choices — To protect metal wires and braces, some diet modifications are necessary. With clear aligners, you can still bite into an apple or a crispy pizza crust.
  • Comfort — The soft, flexible material of which Invisalign aligners are made will not irritate the soft tissues of the mouth, as metal wires and braces can.
  • Teeth-Grinding Protection — If you have a teeth-grinding or clenching habit, clear aligners can function as thin nightguards that will protect your teeth from excessive wear.

Clear Aligners vs. Traditional Braces

Clear aligner technology has been improving over the years and can correct many malocclusions that once would have been too complicated for this form of treatment. Yet there are still some situations for which traditional braces would still be best. We would be happy to discuss this in detail with you.
