Why Invisalign Is Better Than Traditional Braces

If you want to straighten your teeth, two main options are Invisalign and traditional braces. To decide which one you should go for, you will need to look at the advantages and disadvantages of each one of them. You should first research and learn as much about each of them as possible. Next, you should consult a dentist who will guide you on the best option. After exploring both options, the benefits of Invisalign over traditional braces will become clear. 


Read on to learn more about why Invisalign is a better option than traditional braces


 

Invisalign

 

 

  • Looks Better



The main marketing feature that makes Invisalign popular is that it is virtually invisible. The patients who use it enjoy that people rarely notice they are in the middle of a treatment. You can smile as usual without feeling self-conscious about the trays being visible.

 

  • You Can Take the Trays Out
 

It would be best if you took out the aligners when you eat, which means you are not limited to what you eat. However, you must have them at least 20 to 22 hours through the day. You have to ensure that you put them back on after you are done eating.

 

  • You Brush and Floss Easier
 

You do not have to worry about the trays affecting your oral care routine. You can take them out when you want to brush or floss. 

 

  • Fewer Consultations
 

You will need fewer consultations after you get the trays. After the first visit, when you get all the trays you need for a while, the next time you go to the dentist is for the next fitting.

 

  • They Are Comfortable
     

You will develop fewer gum and mouth problems with Invisalign than with any other treatment. They are fitted exactly to your mouth so that you will have no cuts in the mouth.

 

 

Braces


 

  • Not Easily Removed
     

Because an orthodontist attaches braces, you cannot remove them easily. It means that you have less control over the braces and less control over your oral hygiene as a whole.

 

 

  • Invasive
     

The invasive nature of traditional braces impacts every aspect of normal life. With traditional braces, normal activities, such as eating or brushing, can become difficult or even painful at times. While traditional braces are effective, they become a burden on everyday activities.
