Why Is Invisalign Better Than Wearing Braces?

You’ve always wanted to achieve that perfect smile, one that will make you look more beautiful and feel more confident. But if you’re one of the many people who don’t like the idea of wearing braces because of the pain and discomfort, then you’d be glad to know that there are other options for teeth straightening without braces.

Invisalign is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment where instead of wearing braces, you’re going to use custom-made plastic aligners that will help correct the misalignment in your teeth just as braces often do. So why exactly is Invisalign better than braces? 

1. You Get an Accurate Impression of Your Teeth

An Invisalign treatment begins with a digital scan of your oral cavity to get a full impression of your teeth. Here, you’ll be able to see the misalignment clearly through a 3D model that will be created by your dentist. Being more accurate, this model will help your dentist create a precise digital treatment plan that will not only create the right set of aligners but also show how your teeth will move over time. 

2. Plastic Aligners Are Nearly Invisible

A lot of people don’t like the idea of wearing braces because it makes them feel uncomfortable and less confident. In fact, some people, especially kids and teenagers, are getting bullied just because they’re wearing braces. Plastic aligners, on the other hand, are made from clear plastic making them nearly invisible. This means that you can wear them every day without being noticeable. 

3. You Can Remove Plastic Aligners

Another huge benefit of using Invisalign over braces is that you can actually take them out when you need to. Unlike traditional braces that will be stuck on your teeth until they’re removed by the dentist, plastic aligners can be taken out if you’re eating, brushing your teeth or you just don’t want to use them on certain occasions. This freedom is a huge advantage because you’re not going to be limited in your daily activities just because you want to align your teeth. 

4. Plastic Aligners Can Correct Different Dental Issues

Wearing Invisalign isn’t just limited to corrected tooth misalignment. You can also use plastic aligners to correct gaps and overbites as well as promote proper spacing within your teeth. And the best part is, you get to correct all these problems discreetly. You won’t have to endure the pain related to using braces or feel less confident thinking that you don’t look good wearing braces.  

With all the benefits of wearing Invisalign, you really need to give it a try. Of course, you have to look for the best practitioner to create custom plastic aligners for your needs. With regular check ups for monitoring, you can definitely see results faster than when you’re using braces. But with the comfort and convenience of Invisalign, you won’t really mind wearing your aligners for a longer time.
