Many people suffer from dental problems like overbite, underbite, or crowded teeth. It severely impacts how they interact with people and become unhappy with their smiles. As a result, this reduces their self-esteem, making it difficult to meet people. Thanks to modern dentistry offer numerous ways to cure these problems. Braces and Invisalign both have their advantages. However, this article will focus on the benefits of Invisalign over regular braces.

  

What are Braces?

 

Braces are teeth-straightening dental tools using plastic or metal brackets, wires, or rubber bands. It corrects dental issues like crooked teeth, crowding, or teeth alignment. However, many people still use them to fix their dental problems. Living with braces requires altering daily life skills.

 

What is Invisalign?

 

Invisible aligners or Invisalign offers a revolutionary dental treatment to correct teeth problems. They are nearly invisible and perfect for people who cannot wear braces; they are self-conscious about being noticed in public. Invisalign are custom-made, clear braces that help straighten teeth without using metal braces. They are transparent devices that adjust teeth to their appropriate place and help achieve a beautiful smile.

 

Benefits of Invisalign Over Regular Braces?

 

Invisalign has plenty of benefits over regular braces. They are easy to clean, require fewer dental visits, offer great convenience, and much more. Let’s get to know the benefits in a bit more detail.

 

No food restrictions

 

Aligners are removable, and you can eat and drink whatever you want. There are no food restrictions with Invisalign because one can remove them when they are having their meal. In contrast, some food restrictions with regular braces might frustrate people—for instance, sticky or hard foods like crunchy vegetables, nuts, candies, etc.

 

Easy to clean

 

Invisalign is super easy to clean than traditional braces. It isn't easy to clean your brackets appropriately, especially when traveling on vacation. At the same time, Invisalign offers excellent ease of comfort to the users. You must remove the aligner trays and gently brush them with warm water and toothpaste. That’s it, and you are ready to reinstall them in your mouth after adequate cleaning.

 

Fewer dental visits

 

Invisalign is best for busy people who cannot maintain regular braces. It requires fewer dental visits and gives you the freedom to carry on your daily activities with ease. Metal braces require various dental visits to tighten the wires or rubber bands to ensure teeth repositioning and alignment.

  

Look better

 

Invisalign looks better than regular braces and helps to hide ongoing dental treatment. Many people are self-conscious and don’t want to discuss the dental treatment they are going through. Invisalign is nearly invisible, and anyone can hardly get to know if you wear them.

 

More comfortable

 

Traditional braces cause intense discomfort, and everyone cannot tolerate the pain caused to pressure on the teeth. The tightening of the brackets can also cause painful soreness. As a result, it leads to a cycle of discomfort for the patient.

 

Invisalign doesn’t use brackets and is more comfortable to wear. It decreases the level of discomfort and uses a material that is highly elastic to move teeth constantly.

 

Less duration

 

Someone who wears braces must wait five years to straighten their teeth. Whereas Invisalign only takes 1-1.5 years to correct dental issues and help straighten the teeth.

 

Final Words

 

Now you have understood the benefits of Invisalign, it’s high time to talk to a professional. Invisalign offers more convenience than regular braces and can help you feel more confident. However, it would help if you qualified as a candidate for Invisalign to obtain optimal results. Schedule an appointment with your dentist and boost your smile.
