Invisalign® vs Metal Braces
There are various types of orthodontic treatments available today. Traditional braces are the conventional treatment but there are many disadvantages to using them when compared to Invisalign. Invisible braces alleviate many of the hassles associated with traditional metal braces. They are efficient, discreet, and comfortable to wear. The main benefits of the Invisalign treatment include:
Discreet treatment – Invisalign is clear, virtually invisible and unnoticeable to anyone else. Metal braces are very noticeable and unsightly. Oftentimes, food gets caught in the metal braces causing embarrassing situations especially for adults. With these clear braces, no one will even know you are wearing braces.
No dietary restrictions – If you have to wear metal braces, there is a long list of foods you should avoid eating including food that is hard, chewy or crunchy. One of the greatest benefits of Invisalign® is you can remove them to eat.
Easy removal for cleaning and routine dental care – You can remove Invisalign to brush your teeth and floss as you normally would. Being able to remove them to brush your teeth also eliminates the risk of tooth enamel staining from permanently attached metal brackets. With braces, they will be permanently attached to your teeth where they will remain for 6 months up to 3 years.
Comfortable – Metal braces are comprised of brackets that are bonded to your teeth then those brackets are connected with a thin metal wire which can often cause discomfort. These parts protrude from the teeth and can puncture or scratch the inside of your mouth. Invisalign aligners are made from a mold of your mouth and teeth and therefore sit comfortably against your teeth.
