Many people want to possess a beautiful smile. Crooked or misaligned teeth can lower your confidence, which might prompt you to seek dental procedures to straighten them. For teeth corrections, the traditional solution is metal braces. This could be embarrassing for some people, especially adults. Depending on your individual case, your dentist might suggest an Invisalign treatment. It is a good alternative which saves you some of the inconvenience normal braces create.
Invisalign is a breakthrough in cosmetic dentistry. It is typically clear braces, and can be used for correcting tooth misalignment from overcrowded teeth, overbite, or underbite. Invisalign comes as a set of clear plastic orthodontic trays called aligners, which are fitted to your teeth to straighten them. Unlike braces, which poke the gums, Invisalign is smooth. The aligners are replaced about every two weeks until your treatment is over. Treatment duration, on average, is shorter compared to metal braces, but the cost is typically higher. The amount would depend on the number of aligners and the alignment that your teeth needs.
Your aligners are removable, which makes eating and brushing easy. Wearing traditional braces need extra care when brushing and flossing, and in addition, you will be advised to avoid eating certain foods, especially those that might stick to your braces. Furthermore, you don’t have to worry about metal brackets sticking out of your mouth with Invisalign; although it isn’t wholly invisible, it won’t make you appear like you’re undergoing teeth straightening at all.
This particular solution, however, isn’t ideal for all situations, especially in severe dental cases like large overbites. It is in your best benefit to secure the services of a good dentist to guide you towards the proper course of action to take.
