Everyone wants a beautiful and sparkling smile, but sometimes due to some reasons we are left with imperfect smiles. With the advanced teeth-straightening technology in dentistry, one has the option to get a mesmerizing smile today.

Teeth and good smile play an inevitable place in your appearance. When you have beautiful teeth and wear a magnificent smile, it is enough to attract anyone. Who would not yearn to have well-aligned and sparkling teeth to build up self-confidence and improve quality in life? Well-Aligned teeth require good care from childhood; there are many treatments available today to treat your misaligned or crooked teeth.

Braces and Invisalign are some of the Orthodontic treatment used by the dentists for straightening the teeth. They make the teeth straight by positioning them well, which helps improve the patient’s appearance and also enhances proper functioning of teeth. The Invisalign are set of transparent plastic trays that are used to align teeth to its proper position. Unlike the Invisalign, traditional braces use metal wires to position the teeth.

Though teeth straightening are done in the late childhood days, the adults can even think about the option of wearing braces. With the introduction of clear braces or Invisalign, you can find a solution for the daunting straightening option of metal braces. With clear braces, as they are not visible, people may not even recognize that you are wearing something on your teeth.

Both braces and Invisalign are meant to straighten teeth and to enhance your oral health, appearance and smile; customers prefer using Invisalign as it has many advantages over braces.

Why prefer Invisalign?

Invisalign is designed to offer invisibility and hence, are made of smooth BPA-free clear plastic. It is worn on the teeth to position the teeth. The dentist will examine your teeth with the help of X-rays, impressions, and images to make a 3D image of your dentition to shape your Invisalign trays.

Orthodontists prefer Invisalign to the traditional metal braces as it is better than them. As a result, they conduct regular research to make the Invisalign technology available to everyone. Some of the major reasons to prefer Invisalign over traditional braces are:

1. Invisalign is pleasing and designed aesthetically

One of the apparent reasons to opt Invisalign is that they are transparent braces and offer pleasing appearance, unlike the metal braces. With the Invisalign, you can have your teeth straightened without anyone finding them. The metal braces are visible and one can see you wearing the braces, which may be quite uncomfortable and embarrassing for you. Nevertheless, Invisalign, being the clear braces, not only helps you straighten your teeth but also improves your look in public.

2. More Comfortable

Invisalign aligners are manufactured using soft plastic, which is medical grade and they are very comfortable and hassle-free to wear. In traditional braces, the metal wires used may tear the soft tissues of cheek and lips and it causes pain. Furthermore, the traditional braces are painful all along the time you wear as they apply pressure on teeth to straighten them. Invisalign or the clear braces, on the other hand, has a process that involves changing of many plastic trays at different levels to help gradually reposition your teeth by applying low pressure on the teeth.

3. Easy to Clean and Maintain

The other major advantage of the Invisalign aligners over the traditional metal braces is, they are very easy to clean and maintain. The patient can remove and clean them; nonetheless, you are advised to remove them while having food. This will undoubtedly enhance the oral hygiene and discoloration of the teeth. In contrast, the traditional metal braces are wired within the mouth and they cannot be removed and cleaned, so they are difficult to manage. In the long run, it will lead to inadequate oral hygiene and the patient may feel uncomfortable.

4. No Food Precincts

The patient has to restrict some food that may harm the metal braces. Sticky food may stick on the metal braces and cause damage to the teeth. While wearing traditional metal braces, you have to restrict your diet so that you don’t chew any food that may harm or get stuck in the metal. Gum and similar sticky foods are not allowed with traditional braces because they can permanently get stuck to the apparatus. Hard to chew foods are also usually restricted because they can damage the metal wires. With Invisalign, you can remove the plastic trays while you eat, so there’s no fear that you may damage the trays or that you may get anything stuck to the trays. You can straighten your teeth without having to worry about not eating the food you love.

5. Faster Results

Using Invisalign you can find faster results than using those traditional metal braces. Metal braces can take an average of almost 36 months for the treatment to get done. And that’s not even the longest that braces may take. Some metal braces can even take up to eight years to straighten your teeth! With Invisalign, the treatment takes just about one year to at least and eighteen months at the most. Invisalign clear braces are approximately eighteen times faster when it comes to the duration of the time taken for treatment.

6. No Tightening Required

With traditional aligner systems, you have to visit the dentist at certain intervals to tighten the metal braces but in case of Invisalign trays, you don’t have to visit the dentist often for “tightening.”

Wearing braces are not pleasant though, in this modern era, we have the option of invisible braces which could help you straighten your teeth without much worries and discomfort; hence, getting braces is not as worrisome as you think.
