When Invisalign® braces were introduced in 1999, it
was clear that it would revolutionize orthodontic treatments. Since then, it
has become one of the leading brands of orthodontic appliance and the much
preferred treatment over traditional wire braces. Aside from its pleasing
aesthetics, dentists agree that it is far more superior due to its numerous
advantages over wire-and-bracket braces like:
1.
Better
Maintenance
No longer will you have to struggle with brushing your braces thoroughly
because Invisalign® features an easy cleaning system. Invisalign® braces come
with brushing and rinsing trays for effective cleaning. You can also take it
off before you eat to avoid food getting stuck in between.
2.
Shorter
Treatment Time
Depending on the severity of treatment required, conventional wire
braces need to stay on for at least two years on a patient. Invisalign® braces,
on the other hand, can be worn daily for 22 to 24 hours a day and average
treatment time only takes 6 to 18 months at best.
3.
Less Discomfort
Invisalign® braces are made of a series of smooth clear plastic made to
be worn in comfort. Issues like pain, sores, and discomfort from wearing metal
on the teeth can be effectively reduced or eliminated.
It is important to note that while Invisalign® is
proven effective in teens and in adults, your dentist will have to determine
first if it is the right option for you, as some cases may require other types
of dental treatment.
