If you crave straighter teeth but do not fancy the idea of wearing traditional metal braces, Invisalign could be the solution you’re looking for. The revolutionary treatment, which is only two decades old, does everything conventional braces do and come with a set of extra advantages that are simply impossible to ignore. Here are some of them:
#1. Invisalign aligners are custom-made
Unlike metal braces which are the same for everyone, Invisalign aligners are built to target your specific problem. Impressions of your mouth will be taken and sent to Invisalign experts for fabrication of your aligners.
#2. They are invisible
Invisalign are renowned mainly for having solved the problem of conspicuousness that is inevitable with traditional braces. The clear plastic Invisalign aligners are made of blends in perfectly with your teeth to ensure your treatment remains as discreet as possible.
#3. They work faster
Experts believe that Invisalign works faster by up to four months if user instructions are followed to the letter. However, to a large extent treatment period depends on the severity of your problem.
#4. Invisalign aligners can be removed
Removability allows you to eat, brush your teeth, clean the aligners and attend social occasions for a maximum of three hours a day. Metal braces remain affixed on your teeth for the entire treatment period.
#5. They are more comfortable
Invisalign aligners have better-curved edges than metal braces hence are less irritating to your lips, inner cheeks, and gum tissue.
