Invisalign vs traditional braces

Invisalign has many benefits in comparison to traditional braces which makes it a popular choice for those who are reluctant to undergo conventional orthodontic treatment. To begin with, Invisalign uses clear thermoplastic aligners to straighten your teeth that are almost invisible in the mouth, comfortable to wear and can be taken out and replaced as necessary. This is in complete comparison to traditional orthodontic braces. Traditional orthodontic braces are highly visible because they are fixed to the front surface of your teeth and can often draw unwanted attention to your mouth. The metal wires and brackets can take time to become accustomed to. However, traditional braces have been in use for more than 100 years and have helped millions of patients across the world enjoy beautiful smiles, with healthy teeth and gums. Traditional metal braces are the gold standard of orthodontic treatment, but for the modern generation Invisalign London with Clear Braces Direct may be more suitable.

The uses of Invisalign

Invisalign can be used for most types of orthodontic issues. It is most commonly used for correcting aesthetic issues of the teeth, however it can also straighten problematic teeth like crooked, wonky teeth, overlapping teeth, overcrowded teeth and protruding front teeth. Invisalign can close minor gaps between the teeth and it can also be used in the treatment of bite disorders including crossbite, overbite and underbite. In doing so Invisalign has a significant beneficial impact on your teeth and smile.

Healthier teeth and a beautiful smile

Firstly, it transforms the imperfections of your smile. This helps improve your confidence and your self-esteem, it helps you make a great first impression and it can attract the right type of attention. Next, Invisalign helps improve your dental health.  By straightening your teeth, Invisalign makes it easier for you to brush and floss your teeth and maintain better dental hygiene. It helps you maintain a cleaner and healthier mouth. This is because straightening your teeth exposes a greater surface area of each tooth in comparison to overlapping or overcrowded teeth. This means that when you brush and floss you are able to remove more bacteria and food particles, therefore there is less chance of plaque and tartar developing on the surface of your teeth and less likelihood of developing cavities, tooth decay or gum disease in the future.
