What are the benefits of choosing Invisalign?

At Clear Braces Direct, we have long considered Invisalign London an excellent choice for anyone wanting to straighten their teeth in the hopes of an aesthetically-pleasing smile. Yes, there are many different types of orthodontic appliances to choose from, but Invisalign London offers a whole array of benefits that are of particular interest to adult patients.

We have seen countless patients successfully complete their orthodontic journeys, and thanks to Invisalign London, without the discomfort and numerous other challenges that were once associated with the teeth-straightening process.

Much of the popularity of Invisalign as an orthodontic treatment of choice with patients is due to the benefits its design offers.

The forward-thinking design of Invisalign

It is fair to say that the Invisalign teeth-correcting system has completely turned the orthodontic world on its head. You only need to look at its distinct design to know that this is so.

The way Invisalign works to align teeth is quite different from the way traditional orthodontic devices work. Firstly. The aligners are made from intuitive, flexible medical-grade thermoplastic material – there are no metal components to irritate sensitive areas of the mouth.

Secondly, the aligners can be easily removed from the mouth and reinserted by the patient without the need for any intervention from a dental practitioner. Another difference is that an Invisalign treatment plan involves the patient wearing a series of customised aligners in the correct sequence as opposed to having just one device throughout the treatment plan.

Why is this standout design so advantageous?

The difference in Invisalign’s design answers many of the challenges patients reported with traditional orthodontic treatment plans.

The fact that flexible plastic material is so comfortable in the mouth addressed the challenge of pain and discomfort. However, it must be remembered that this orthodontic device remains a foreign object and not a natural part of the mouth, which is why there will be an initial adjustment period to get used to it.

The plastic material is transparent, which offers the benefit of being discreet – a benefit much welcomed by patients who worry about their appearance, in particular teenagers and professionals who work in public-facing roles.

Then there is the other desirable of convenience, also much in demand with adult patients. The removability feature makes for an easier and quicker oral hygiene practice. All patients on the Invisalign treatment plan must remove their aligners when cleaning their teeth and brush and floss as normal. As oral hygiene is of utmost importance to the longevity of the orthodontic process, it must be emphasised that patients must be scrupulous in cleaning their teeth and in sterilising their aligners before reinserting them in the mouth.

The removability feature offers another great benefit – there is no need for dietary restrictions. Patients will be happy to hear that with Invisalign, they can continue eating all their favourite foods without fear of damaging their aligners, as they will need to remove them first.

Looking at the list of wonderful benefits linked to Invisalign, it is a no-brainer why the orthodontic system has gained such high favour. Interested in seeing the magic of Invisalign work on your smile? Get in touch with us at Clear Braces Direct so that we can get your smile journey started.
