To begin with it is almost\ninvisible as the name suggests. Invisalign uses clear thermoplastic aligners\nwhich allow you to straighten your teeth and achieve a neatly aligned smile\nwithout feeling embarrassed or worried that people are looking at you. It\nallows you to straighten your teeth at your complete discretion without anyone\nnoticing that you are undergoing orthodontic treatment unless you wish to tell\nthem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why choose Invisalign?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In comparison to traditional braces, Invisalign is different\nand often more beneficial depending on the patient&#8217;s unique needs. It is much\neasier to maintain Invisalign aligners than metal braces. Invisalign aligners\ncan be taken out of your mouth, brushed with an ordinary toothpaste and\ntoothbrush, rinsed in cold water and put back in your mouth. Unfortunately with\nmetal braces food particles and bacteria can get stuck and build up on your\nbraces and they can be quite difficult to clean. This means that you are at a\ngreater risk of developing cavities and tooth decay whilst you are undergoing\northodontic treatment and therefore it is very important that you visit the\nright dentist regularly and have your teeth professionally cleaned while you\nstraighten your teeth with metal braces. With Invisalign not only are the\naligners easy to look after, but it is also much easier to maintain good dental\nhealth. You remove the aligners and brush your teeth as normal, floss between\nyour teeth and rinse your mouth using a good mouthwash. This helps keep your\nmouth free of lingering food particles and excess bacteria, reducing the chance\nof developing cavities or tooth decay whilst you are straightening your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned the aligners can be taken out of your mouth as and\nwhen necessary; this means that there are no food restrictions with Invisalign.\nYou can eat and drink as you wish as long as you remember to take your aligners\nout. Although the aligners are very strong and resilient they are not designed\nto bite or chew with and therefore they have to be removed so that they do not\nbecome damaged. With traditional metal braces there are dietary restrictions\nand you have to be careful what you eat so that you do not damage your braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plastic aligners are also thought to be much more comfortable\nin the mouth than metal&nbsp; brackets and\nwires. There is less chance of developing cuts and sores inside your mouth and\nwith Invisalign it is reported that the aligners are easy to become accustomed\nto, whereas traditional braces may take longer to become used to. Both are\nhighly effective at teeth straightening. Traditional braces are better suited\nfor complex orthodontic needs, whilst Invisalign is most suitable for mild or\nmoderate orthodontic needs.
