Advantages of using Invisalign aligners

When you are an adult looking for a realignment option, you may believe that it is simply better to adapt to your dental misalignment rather than undertake any kind of orthodontic treatment.

However, if you have been keeping up-to-date with recent dental orthodontic news, then you will undoubtedly be aware of the rise in the use of clear aligners. And it is fair to say that clear aligners have changed the landscape of dental realignment in adults forever.

At Clear Braces Direct, we are proud to be able to offer patients a myriad of different clear aligner treatments including Invisalign London. This is one of the most popular aligners and also one of the easiest to use and fit into daily life.

But, understandably, you may still have some doubts about undertaking any kind of orthodontic treatment in your adult years. In this article, our team discusses some of the best advantages of using Invisalign London to straighten your teeth.

Better fit

When most people think of orthodontic realignments, they envision brackets being attached to the teeth at unusual angles and an awkward archwire being placed between these brackets. However, with Invisalign London, our team will ensure that the aligner is fitted to your unique dental specifications using an intraoral as a starting point. Each aligner created is designed to move your teeth in a slightly different way to the previous aligner without causing undue pressure or discomfort on your teeth.

Removable

Many people are surprised to learn that this invisible aligner is removable. And yes, that is where the responsibility of the patient comes in to keep the aligner in their mouth so that it can complete its job!

But it is undoubtedly a great way to fit this treatment into your daily life, as having a removable aligner makes it easier to clean, easier to manage and, of course, does not place restraints on your diet in the same way as traditional orthodontic tools do. And it will unlikely have an impact on your dental health.

Accelerated realignment

When most people think of orthodontic treatment in their adult years, they picture needing to wear a brace for many many months at a time, but when it comes to using an invisible aligner, the treatment time is accelerated. On average, you will likely have to wear the aligner for between 3 to 6 months at a time, which, when compared to the standard 36 months required for an orthodontic brace, is definitely a timesaver.

Clear!

It cannot be overlooked how important it is for many adult patients to have a discreet treatment option. After all, many adults have jobs that require them to speak publicly and do not want attention drawn to their teeth. And as long as you keep your invisible aligners clean, it is unlikely that even your closest friends will notice that you are wearing them.

Exceptional results

And finally, another advantage of undertaking treatment with invisible aligners is the results that this treatment can offer. Many people believe that they may be slightly less aesthetically pleasing than those achieved with a metal brace; however, research has shown that patients are on average just as happy with the results obtained using invisible aligners as those obtained using traditional metal braces.
