Everyone desires a perfectly aligned smile. With modern orthodontic solutions, you can now straighten your smile following an approach that best matches your preferences regardless of your age and routine. Metal braces are no longer the only option, and with EZ Dental Clinic, you can straighten your teeth through Invisalign.

Invisalign continues to win more consumers’ favor, especially if you are self-conscious about wire and brackets. Unlike the metal braces that follow a fixed orthodontic approach, Invisalign repositions your teeth little by little through a series of personalized, transparent aligners. Among the reasons more people continue to turn to Invisalign include:

1. Oral hygiene

Your brushing and flossing routine won’t be affected. Since the clear aligners are removable, you can easily maintain your oral hygiene routine. This is unlike the case with fixed metal braces when you have to do it around the braces. With the braces, food can easily be stuck in hard-to-reach areas, an accumulation that increases oral health risks, including cavities and gum disease. You get to maintain your routine, with the only extra step being regularly cleaning the Invisalign trays to keep bacteria buildup at bay.

2. No diet restrictions

When you opt for braces, you need to follow a diet guideline to ensure you don’t damage the wires and brackets. You are required to avoid hard-to-chew and sticky foods, restrictions that can be inconvenient. With Invisalign, such restrictions are taken out of the equation. This is since you can remove the aligner and continue enjoying your favorite foods. You only need to maintain effective hygiene to avoid staining your clear aligners.

3. Discrete

Invisalign is clear and thin, fitting well against your teeth. They are nearly invisible, making them more discrete. They are hardly noticeable, and someone has to look closer to see them. They are subtle enough and hardly noticeable by your co-workers, friends, or family members. Such a discrete level is essential for adults looking to straighten their smile but uncomfortable with the easily visible metal braces.

4. Comfort

Invisalign’s approach uses custom-made aligners. They perfectly fit, offering the needed comfort when repositioning the teeth. You won’t be concerned about sharp edges or appointments for trimming and tightening. During your first few days, you may experience pressure. This tells you that Invisalign aligners are working. The pressure won’t go to the extent of feeling significantly uncomfortable. You can comfortably straighten your teeth with no risk of being injured by sharp edges or untrimmed long wires.

5. Saves time

Invisalign wins more adult consumers due to the time saved. This is considering how demanding your schedule can get. It takes, on average, 12 to 18 months, which is shorter than metal braces. Moreover, each appointment is shorter since the dentist does not have to make any adjustments. The dentist only has to assess the progress, provide the next set of aligners, and inform you when to switch. This means fewer dental appointments throughout the treatment process.

Invisalign offers many benefits as you strive to straighten and brighten your smile. The cost depends on your insurance type and dental situation. Unlike your expectations, considering the many benefits, Invisalign is an affordable teeth-straightening solution.
