While traditional metal braces were once the primary teeth-straightening treatment, Invisalign® has become a popular alternative with teenagers and adults. Rather than visible wires and brackets, you wear a clear aligner that is replaced every few weeks over the progression of the treatment. As the name implies, the treatment is practically invisible. Below are just a few of the many benefits of choosing it to beautify your smile. 

3 Advantages of Invisalign

1. Convenience

The product consists of two clear aligners you can take in and out of your mouth, unlike traditional braces, in which the brackets are glued to the front of your teeth. This makes them more convenient as you can remove them to eat and don’t have to worry about food getting caught. 

2. Appearance

Because traditional braces are made with metal, they’re considered unsightly. This is an undesirable issue for teenagers and adults who work in a professional environment and don’t want to draw unnecessary attention. Because Invisalign is clear, it’s more discreet and nearly unnoticeable unless a person is speaking with you closely. 

3. Comfort

Conventional braces can be painful, especially when they’re new or right after an adjustment. When the wires are tightened, this puts pressure on your mouth and jaw and can also cause headaches and overall discomfort. The metal can also cause cuts around the lips and cheek. Invisalign is smooth and comfortable to wear; the retainers are replaced every few weeks rather than relying on wire adjustments.
