Invisalign is one of the most advanced orthodontic appliances preferred by both dentists and patients of all age groups. Getting a malocclusion treated is crucial due to aspects that influence oral hygiene, functionality, and aesthetics. Although Invisalign is highly sought-after by the younger generation, such as teenagers, it can be beneficial to adults as well.

How is Invisalign different?

Conventional dental braces made from metal were the go-to solution for treating misaligned teeth for several years. They are known to treat even the most complicated conditions of malocclusion. However, they aren’t the safest orthodontic option, nor are they the most aesthetically pleasing ones. Dental braces are quite apparent when you talk or smile, which could make you feel embarrassed when you socialize. Also, the metal brackets and wires that they are composed of could injure the soft tissues of the mouth when you sustain oral trauma.

Invisalign helps to keep these issues away and offers a few other advantages as well. Since they are made from clear dental-grade plastic, they would stay under disguise when you put them on. Their clear appearance is perfect for keeping your orthodontic treatment under covers. Also, they do not contain any sharp edges or brackets that could injure the lips, tongue, or other soft tissues of the mouth.

What are the other advantages of Invisalign?

• Invisalign is made from high-quality dental-grade plastic material that retains its shape. Meaning, the aligners wouldn’t deform with regular usage, thus applying a uniform level of pressure on the teeth and moving them gradually to their ideal positions.
• Though Invisalign is made from plastic, its effectiveness is at par with dental braces. Some of the lesser complicated cases of malocclusion can be treated in a very short time span using Invisalign.
• You wouldn’t have to make any changes to your diet with Invisalign. In the case of braces, the dentist will advise you to keep a few foods off your diet, such as hard or sticky foods. But, with Invisalign, you can take the aligners off, eat anything you wish to, clean the teeth thoroughly, and put the aligners back on with ease.
• Invisalign is a removable aligner. It can be taken off whenever you have to brush the teeth, eat food, or during necessary situations like playing outdoor sports, going on a date, etc.
