Key advantages of using Invisalign
When you are an adult who has misaligned teeth, especially at the front of your mouth, it can prevent you from smiling in photos and smiling in general and can cause you to feel self-conscious about how you look. Not good!
Luckily, the solution for adults who have misaligned teeth no longer involves having to wear a fitted brace, and if you have a case of mild to moderate misalignment, then you may be a suitable candidate for invisible aligners.
At the Dental Retreat, our team has extensive experience in fitting invisible aligners like Invisalign Macleod and would be more than happy to meet with you to discuss your suitability. We also offer clear, fitted braces in case you need a bit more support with your realignment process.
So, with that in mind, what are some of the key advantages of using Invisalign Macleod to straighten your teeth?
Aesthetically pleasing
The most significant advantage of Invisalign Macleod is its cosmetic appeal. The clear aligners are virtually invisible, making them an ideal choice for people who want to improve their smile without drawing unwanted attention to their braces. Invisible aligners blend in with the natural colour of teeth, making them an excellent choice for people who work in public-facing jobs or have social events to attend.
Comfortable
These aligners are made from a smooth, comfortable plastic that eliminates the irritation and discomfort commonly associated with traditional metal braces. Since invisible aligners are custom-made to fit the shape of each patient’s teeth, they provide a comfortable fit that doesn’t cause any soreness or discomfort.
Easy to clean
One of the most significant advantages of Invisalign is how easy it is to clean. Unlike metal braces, which require special tools to clean between the brackets and wires, the aligners are removable, making them easy to clean. Patients can remove their aligners to brush and floss their teeth and can also clean their aligners separately with a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap.
Fewer appointments
This realignment option typically requires fewer appointments than traditional braces. Patients receive multiple sets of aligners in advance and only need to visit the dentist or orthodontist every few weeks to ensure the treatment is progressing as expected. This means less time spent in our dental chair and more time enjoying other activities.
Removable
Invisible aligners are removable, which means patients can take them out while eating, drinking, and cleaning their teeth. Unlike traditional braces, which can trap food particles and make brushing and flossing difficult, these aligners allow patients to maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout the course of their treatment. Patients can also remove their aligners for special occasions, such as weddings, photo-shoots, or job interviews.
Efficient treatment
Finally, invisible aligners are an efficient treatment option for many different orthodontic issues, including crowding, spacing, and bite problems. Invisible aligners use computer-generated images to create a custom treatment plan for each patient, ensuring that the aligners are tailored to their specific needs, so these aligners can be a powerful treatment option for both adults and teenagers.
DISCLAIMER
All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
