Four Reasons Invisalign May Suit Your Teeth Better Than Braces

Herman Kim

If you're considering braces, you might be wondering whether Invisalign could be a better option. While traditional braces are still the most popular, Invisalign is an increasingly popular choice.

A lot of people choose Invisalign because they want to avoid the metal and wires of traditional braces. But there are other reasons why Invisalign may be a better choice for your teeth. Here are four reasons why:

1. You Want To Avoid Metal In Your Mouth 

If you're worried about the look or feel of metal in your mouth, Invisalign can offer a way out. With traditional braces, there's no getting around using metal brackets and wires to hold everything in place. With Invisalign, you don't have to worry about having metal stuck in your mouth as it moves around to straighten out your teeth.

2. You Don't Want People Knowing You're Wearing Braces 

Traditional braces aren't exactly subtle when they're on display. They feature a set of metal wires that loop between each tooth and then connect at the back of the mouth with brackets that stick out from each tooth. This makes it quite obvious when someone is wearing braces unless they've got great oral hygiene and take care not to get food stuck between their teeth.

3. You Have Crowded Teeth That Aren't Suited To Braces

If you have overcrowded teeth, Invisalign will help to straighten them out by gradually moving them into place over time. Braces are designed to make only small movements each time but can result in movement occurring too quickly and causing discomfort or pain. Invisalign aligners are made from a flexible material that allows them to be adjusted if necessary during treatment so they can move slowly enough for you to adjust without causing any discomfort.

4. You Want To Eat With Fewer Restrictions 

Invisalign aligners are removable and can be taken out when you eat or drink. This means that you can eat whatever you want and don't need to make any changes to your diet. Braces, on the other hand, are fixed in place and can't be removed until after treatment is complete. 

Invisalign is custom-made for each patient's teeth and bite. You can choose from a variety of treatment plans that best suit your needs and schedule. Chat with your dentist today for more information about Invisalign. They can help you decide whether Invisalign will be a good fit for your needs.

Dentures: Facts, Figures and Friendly Advice for Seniors

I am a senior who recently began wearing dentures, and before I got them, I spent a lot of time researching types of dentures and alternatives. Now, that I have my dentures and my research is complete, I need something new to fill my time. So, I decided to create a blog. "Why not put what I learned to use?" I thought. In this blog, I hope to share facts and figures about dentures and offer a little friendly advice along the way. Learn how many other Australians wear dentures, explore alternatives to dentures and figure out which options are best for you. Thanks for reading!
