Braces Vs. Invisalign

One of the major benefits of Invisalign is that it is a discreet option as they are invisible trays that conform to the shape of your teeth. They are made of BPA-free plastic and slowly and gradually straighten your teeth. The plastic feels comfortable thanks to its form-fitting, yet malleable, design.

We create the trays with 3-D imaging versus a mold. So you don’t have to go through the grueling process of getting a mold of your teeth. Dentists recommend that patients wear their Invisalign retainers for at least 22-24 hours a day for between six to eighteen months, depending on the patient’s specific issues. As a patient progresses, they will need to change retainers roughly every two weeks and visit their dentist every four to six weeks.

Below you will find the benefits of Invisalign:

• Appearance: One of the major benefits of Invisalign is the appearance as they are invisible, and most people cannot see that you are wearing anything. This is helpful if you do not want to have obvious metal braces as Invisalign is more discreet. This proves especially helpful for adults who have professional careers yet want to improve their teeth.
• Removable: One of the most appreciated benefits of Invisalign is that they are removable. You can take them out when you eat and drink, so you are not hindered by brackets, wires, and rubber bands as compared to traditional metal braces.
• Cleaning: The cleaning process is much more reasonable than traditional metal braces. Each time you eat or drink, rinse the trays in lukewarm water and brush them off. This should take place each morning and night when you brush your teeth.
• Comfort: Compared to traditional metal braces, Invisalign provides much more comfort. The brackets on metal braces can cause mouth sores that can be very painful.
