The differences between Invisalign and traditional braces

Invisalign London is a modern method of teeth straightening, popular amongst patients of all ages and popular amongst dentists too. It is different from traditional orthodontic treatment. It is ideal for those who avoided traditional orthodontic treatment when they were younger, but thanks to the availability of different types of braces, are now considering straightening their teeth. More adults than ever before have straightened their teeth thanks to the introduction and establishment of Invisalign London. This is because Invisalign allows you to straighten your teeth at your discretion. In complete contrast to traditional orthodontic braces, Invisalign London is almost invisible when in your mouth. you can straighten your teeth and no one will even notice that you are undergoing orthodontic treatment unless you wish to tell them. It is highly convenient and it fits in with the modern lifestyle.

Removable aligners

In comparison to traditional braces, Invisalign aligners can be taken out of your mouth and put back in when you have finished what you are doing.  The aligners need to be removed at mealtimes and if you are drinking anything other than clear liquids such as water. This stops the aligners from becoming damaged or stained. It means that you can enjoy all of your favourite food and drink without having to worry about the aligners being affected. With traditional braces you are not allowed to eat hard, chewy or sticky foods, but with Invisalign there are no dietary restrictions. After enjoying your food you can clean your teeth thoroughly, brushing, flossing and using a good mouthwash, after which you can put the aligners back into your mouth. The aligners themselves are also very easy to clean. You can brush them with your ordinary toothbrush and toothpaste, rinse them with water and put them back in your mouth.

Comfortable aligners

Invisalign aligners are also comfortable to wear in comparison to traditional braces. This is because traditional braces are made of metal components, whereas Invisalign aligners are made of medical grade thermoplastic which is digitally printed, making sure there are no sharp edges that could cause cuts or irritation in your mouth. They fit tightly and securely so that although they are removable you can wear them confidently and they will not move.
