Invisalign is one of many orthodontic methods available today to provide teeth realignment. We are excited to offer this solution at Smile Studios, nearby Bellevue, Washington. Invisalign is the most popular because it has several advantages that make it stand out from the rest. Dr. Tina Subherwal can discuss how Invisalign can enhance your smile!
Invisalign has many advantages for patients to consider, including:
– Appearance. Because Invisalign utilizes clear aligner trays instead of metal brackets and wires, it is virtually invisible when worn. This makes it a top choice for teenagers and adults who might be more self-conscious about wearing traditional braces
– Comfort. The aligner trays used for Invisalign treatment are custom-made to fit your dental arch and teeth perfectly, making them a much more comfortable alternative to traditional braces. Conventional brackets and wires cause discomfort and irritation of the cheeks and other oral structures
– Removable. Unlike traditional metal braces, glued to the teeth until treatment is complete, Invisalign aligners are easily removable for activities such as eating, drinking, and oral hygiene routines. This means no restrictions on food choices and an easier time brushing and flossing each day to remove food particles and plaque buildup
– Shorter treatment time. While the duration of orthodontic treatment varies from person to person, many patients who have chosen Invisalign experience a shorter treatment time than traditional braces. This is because aligners can make smaller, more precise adjustments to the teeth, resulting in faster progress
– Convenience. With Invisalign, there are no regular appointments for adjustments as with traditional braces. Patients typically receive several sets of aligner trays at once and simply switch them out every two weeks according to their treatment plan
– Improved oral health. Straighter teeth not only enhance the smile but also contribute to better oral health. Aligned teeth are easier to keep free from plaque buildup and clean, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease
While traditional braces may still be the best option for certain orthodontic cases, Invisalign continues to remain a popular alternative for patients with mild to moderate misalignment.
