Would you love to have straight teeth? A “perfect” smile is a powerful statement and can literally change your life, even if it’s just to give you some extra confidence.
But what is the best option? If you’ve looked into it at all you may be a little overwhelmed at the wealth of options out there. But one name you’ll certainly have heard of is Invisalign, as it is the brand most Townsville Orthodontics suggest. As pioneers of clear braces, Invisalign has its imitators, which is a compliment to the product.
But what are the benefits of Invisalign? Keep reading as we take a look at how these invisible braces have changed the dental correction industry.
5 Amazing Benefits of Invisalign in 2021
1. Comfort
One of the first things you’ll hear about traditional braces is that they are painful at first, and uncomfortable at best. Each time you go to the dentist to have them tightened, the next few days are a struggle as you deal with the increased pressure in your mouth.
Invisalign clear braces are far more comfortable than traditional braces, due to the materials used, which are far less harsh on your teeth and mouth.
2. Confidence
Traditional braces are noticeable, there’s no getting around it. While they’re relatively common in younger people, adults may feel self-conscious about wearing them.
The biggest selling point of Invisalign is that they are invisible (unless someone is actively looking for them, but we’d question why they want to look in your mouth!). You can fix your smile but keep your confidence, knowing that 99% of people won’t see your aligners.
3. Hygiene
The fact that Invisalign clear braces are removable is a huge plus. Traditional fixed braces may be in your mouth for several years. Food can get caught in them, and so they require meticulous cleaning in order to keep bacteria at bay.
Invisalign can be taken out and cleaned, also allowing you to maintain a normal dental care routine including brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash.
4. Fewer Visits to the Dentist
As we mentioned, you need to make regular trips to the dentist to have your braces tightened and checked. This can be a time-consuming and uncomfortable experience.
With Invisalign, your dental procedures will be shorter and much less invasive. A mold will be taken of your mouth at the start of your treatment, and your whole treatment plan will be set out – visits to the dentist will mainly be to just check progress.
5. Freedom to Eat!
Thanks to Invisalign being removable, there are no restrictions on what you can eat. While there may be a little tenderness at times throughout your treatment, you can continue to eat as normal.
It’s best not to eat or drinks anything other than water with your aligners in, but taking them out during a meal is a small price to pay when you consider the restrictions on your diet with traditional braces.
The Many Benefits of Invisalign
As you can see, there are some huge benefits to Invisalign, so if you have dreams of a perfect smile but you’ve been apprehensive about braces, this is an amazing option for you to explore.
