No Metal? No Problem Learn Why You Need Invisalign
Posted on 4/11/2022 by Brian Rounds, DDS
If you have crooked teeth, some orthodontic treatment can help straighten your teeth. You can use metal braces or Invisalign. Unfortunately, many orthodontic patients shy away from traditional braces because of the disadvantages it comes with. If this is you, Invisalign may be a suitable orthodontic treatment for you. It helps straighten your teeth, so long as you ensure they are tracking well. Some of the advantages you will enjoy while using Invisalign are:
They are Comfortable
Unlike metal braces, Invisalign is very comfortable, especially when they fit well. They are not supposed to be loose or too tight. Otherwise, they will cause pain or even chewing problems. The good thing about Invisalign is that it allows you to attend meetings and speak to friends comfortably since they are clear. Some people may even fail to notice you are wearing them.
Easy to Clean
This is another reason why you need Invisalign. They make it easy for you to maintain good oral hygiene. This is because food rarely sticks in between them and another thing is that you can remove them while eating. This ensures plaque does not build around your Invisalign and causes tooth decay, cavities, and gum infections. You see, when wearing metal braces, it is sometimes hard to clean your teeth because plaque tends to stick around the braces, making it challenging to access some part of your teeth. This is the reason why Invisalign is mainly preferred.
Invisalign Are Removable Dental Devices
You do not always have to wear your Invisalign all the time, but it is crucial to stick to your dentist's instructions to get the results you are looking for. Invisalign is supposed to be used for about 20 hours every day. This gives you the freedom to stay without them for a few hours before putting them on again.
