Invisalign can be used instead of braces to correct most minor-to-moderate orthodontic health issues.
When you’re wearing Invisalign, your aligners will be totally invisible. Invisalign is made of very thin, comfortable plastic that fits perfectly over your teeth. In addition, the plastic won’t interfere with speech. This means that nobody has to know about your orthodontic treatment unless you want them to, which is one of the reasons older adults prefer Invisalign over traditional metal braces.
Invisalign is completely removable and is meant to be removed to clean your teeth and to eat, so it’s easy to brush and floss and to maintain your current diet without any dietary restrictions. In addition, Invisalign does not cause much discomfort, so you can get through your treatment more easily.
By the end of your Invisalign treatment, you’ll be able to smile brightly and feel proud of your smile. Your teeth will be even, your bite will be perfect, and you’ll continue to enjoy the benefits of your orthodontic treatment for years to come.
Invisalign is often a viable alternative to braces, and it offers a number of advantages compared to traditional metal braces. As mentioned previously in this page, Invisalign is less visible, more comfortable, and causes less discomfort compared to braces.
In addition, Invisalign is usually faster than braces. It usually takes about 12 months to receive treatment with Invisalign, while braces may take 12-18 months or longer, in most cases.
If you have thought about braces, Invisalign may be a better alternative, no matter how old you are. You can enjoy all of these benefits and quite a few more if you choose Invisalign at Water Valley Dental.
However, it’s important to recognize that braces are a better option in some cases. If you have serious issues with your bite or your teeth are very crooked, Invisalign may not be a good option. It’s not quite as versatile or powerful, and cannot be used to correct severe orthodontic health problems.
