One of the main reasons that you may want to choose Invisalign is because you will not have a “metal mouth” during treatment. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign does not trap food particles after each meal or snack. Invisalign can also give you a beautiful smile during and after treatment. Read on to learn more about the benefits of Invisalign.
Having teeth that are aligned can help patients care for their teeth better. These teeth are less likely to trap bacteria and food particles. It is easier for patients to clean and floss the teeth during treatment and afterward when the Invisalign treatment is finished.
It is extremely difficult to properly clean crooked teeth. For example, crowded and twisted teeth have many nooks and crannies. The toothbrush cannot effectively reach all of these areas and it is also very difficult for patients to get dental floss into the area.
Invisalign can also correct a misaligned bite. If this type of problem is not fixed, then the patient may face more oral health issues. This can include tooth loss, cavities, gum disease and even loss of tooth enamel.
Traditional metal braces can easily trap food particles against the teeth. This can cause plaque to build up in the area, and this is difficult to remove while wearing braces. It is also more difficult to floss while wearing braces because of the wires across the teeth. This can lead to gum disease for the patient. However, Invisalign makes cleaning the teeth easy during the patient’s treatment.
Because patients can take out the Invisalign aligners at any time, patients can eat and drink nearly any foods, as long as they will brush afterward. Patients can also continue to be active in sports and other activities without worrying about breaking the brackets of the braces.
Patients may still experience some discomfort when they start a new set of aligners. However, because there are no rough edges, patients are less likely to experience any poking in the cheeks or tongue. This can reduce the risk of sores in the areas. Patients will most likely not have to visit the dentist as often during treatment. Because the entire set of aligners has already been made, the patient will not need to have as many adjustments during treatment. Patients can go to the dentist about every six to eight weeks so the dentist can keep an eye on how well the treatment is going.
No matter what your age or problem with your teeth, Invisalign can help. These clear aligners can give you a boost of self-confidence by allowing you to experience results immediately. As soon as you experience results, you will be able to show off your smile thanks to the nearly invisible nature of these aligners. This treatment is highly effective for a wide variety of dental problems.
