Invisalign and the Benefits of Removable Aligners

Traditional braces are never less than something of a pain, both literally and metaphorically. For many wearers, metal braces are a constant source of irritation, from stabbing the inside of your mouth with brackets and wires to trapping food to regular office visits for uncomfortable adjustments.

Like metal braces, Invisalign corrects a number of teeth spacing and bite conditions with the added benefit of removable, clear aligners that are easy to clean and allow you to keep your normal diet and maintain good oral hygiene.

Although Invisalign is not for everyone, it has proven effective in correcting moderate cases of spaced teeth, crowded teeth, crossbite, underbite and overbite in many teens and adults. Comprised of a series of clear, custom-made plastic aligners that fit firmly over your teeth, Invisalign brings your teeth into proper alignment without the visibility, pain and hassles associated with traditional braces.

One of the primary advantages of Invisalign over metal braces is that Invisalign aligners are easy to remove, offering you flexibility while your new smile comes into focus. Braces can trap bits of food, which can contribute to plaque buildup and tooth discoloration; they are also difficult to clean, snaring toothbrush bristles and dental floss. Invisalign aligners, however, are easily cleaned by simply popping them out, brushing them and rinsing them in warm water.

Metal braces also come with a long list of food and drink restrictions. Invisalign treatment allows you to eat and drink what you want; just remove the aligners, enjoy your favorite meal, brush your teeth and slip the aligners back into place.

Another advantage over metal braces is that Invisalign treatment fits your schedule, whether you're an active teen or a busy adult. You swap your aligners for a new set every two weeks, and follow-up visits designed to monitor your progress are limited to approximately every six weeks.Invisalign treatment works within a comparable timeframe to metal braces, often achieving results within 12 months of daily wear of 20 to 22 hours per day.
