Invisalign Aligners – Invisible Clear Braces

Invisalign aligners, also known as invisible clear braces, are an orthodontic treatment that helps straighten your teeth. This treatment is an alternative to traditional braces. During this treatment, you will need to wear a series of clear plastic trays, each of which nudges your teeth, slowly bringing them to the desired alignment. Aside from being less visible, these transparent trays are removable, meaning that you can take them off before eating your food or cleaning your teeth.

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign is a comfortable treatment that moves your teeth in the desired position with gentle but constant pressure. This treatment is generally deemed perfect for dental misalignments that are not too severe.

Are you a good candidate for Invisalign?

Here is a brief overview of the candidacy criteria for Invisalign treatment.

• Invisalign is the option you can bet on if you are disciplined enough to wear clear aligners for the required number of hours every day. Sure, you can remove these trays during meal times or when brushing or flossing.
• You may speak to your dentist about getting Invisalign trays if you do not like going to your school or workplace with a mouth full of metallic wires and fixed brackets – the typical components of traditional braces.
• Invisalign benefits older teens and adults more than adolescents.
• Last but not least, Invisalign is best suited for individuals with mild to moderate misalignments. Hence, you are a good candidate for this treatment if your teeth do not require excessive repositioning. If they do, then you are better off with braces.

Advantages Of Invisalign Aligners

Invisalign offers a myriad of benefits over other orthodontic treatments, including traditional braces. Let’s have a quick look at those benefits.

• Easy to clean: If you have braces or know someone who has them, you may have an idea how difficult it can be to clean the metal wires and brackets. Invisalign transparent braces rid you of these worries as you can take these trays off anytime and clean them with a brush and toothpaste.
• Fewer visits to the dentist: Every set of clear aligners needs to be worn for a predetermined period before you visit your dentist to get the next set of trays. This is much easier than seeing your dentist more frequently to adjust the wires and brackets.
• No dietary restrictions: Invisalign trays are removable, meaning that you can eat whatever you want. On the other hand, braces come with many dietary restrictions due to the increased risk of food chunks getting stuck between the brackets and wires.
• Better appearance: Many people do not like the nerdy look originating from a ‘braced’ smile. Those individuals can benefit from clear Invisalign trays, which are hardly noticeable.
• Comfortable treatment: Braces work by tightening or pressing the metal wires to reposition the teeth. This may cause soreness in the gums and general discomfort, making chewing difficult. You can evade all these issues by using Invisalign to straighten your teeth.

How do Invisalign aligners work?

As mentioned above, Invisalign treatment involves using clear aligner trays that turn and reposition your teeth to align them. These trays are prepared using impressions and digital photographs of your teeth. With this treatment, you have to use a series of trays with every next set of trays designed to provide an improvement over the current set. You will continue to receive these trays until your orthodontic goals are achieved.

After wearing the last set of trays for the required number of weeks, you will need to wear a retainer, which is a specialized device to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their pre-treatment alignment.

Before and After

Is Invisalign painful?

Invisalign trays are minimally painful. The discomfort resulting from every new set of trays is comparable to the pain due to the tightening of wires and brackets in braces. The good thing is that these trays do not have any wires and brackets, meaning the discomfort will be even lesser.
