Advantages of Invisalign Over Traditional Braces

Orthodontic treatment provides a gradual corrective system that has been practiced for decades, but in recent years, traditional braces (with those pesky metal brackets) are correcting fewer and fewer smiles. Ever since Invisalign treatment presented itself in the world of dentistry, the benefits of clear aligners maintains popularity. Dr. Amy Stodola and Dr. Renee Maikon with Family SmileCare Center in Cedar Rapids, IA, are pleased to share some of the advantages of choosing Invisalign over traditional braces.

  • Practically Undetectable Appearance

With a nickname like "train tracks," traditional braces don't exactly offer any benefits of appearance. Invisalign are clear trays that are designed by taking an impression of your teeth and making steady alterations to straighten your smile. Though Invisalign is more noticeable in adult-wearers, you'll still feel at ease knowing the clear aligners offer the impression of not wearing braces at all.

  • Designed With Flexible Material

Invisalign is impressive for several reasons, but by far, the overall comfort of wearing the aligners is far greater than traditional braces. Using braces implies the inherent objective of slowly guiding your teeth into the appropriate positioning, and Invisalign does so through comfortable, elastic material. With the additional benefit of removable braces, the material allows your teeth to move with more flexibility and efficiency.

  • Shorter Corrective Process

As a result of the material used, you won't be required to visit Dr. Stodola and Dr. Maikon in Cedar Rapids, IA, since Invisalign trays are worn for longer periods than the necessary adjustments in traditional braces. Instead, you will receive a series of adjusted trays as your teeth reposition themselves, achieving the desired results much faster than metal braces.

  • You Don't Have To Avoid Any Foods

Since Invisalign trays are removable, you can worry less about the potential of a broken wire or bracket—furthering the alignment process. It's inevitable that food will get stuchttps://sequoia.internetbrands.com/help/requestk in your teeth, but far less inconvenient without the presence of metal brackets.

  • Simple Maintenance

Not only do traditional braces result in disruptive pressure and pain, but also require a learning curve in order to best clean your teeth. Invisalign aligners don't pose any obstructions that may keep you from successfully flossing or brushing. Simply put, continue your proper oral hygiene practice!
