At Smile by Design, we have a special offer to help you achieve the smile of your dreams. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to transform your smile!
Invisalign, or clear aligners, is a cutting-edge orthodontic treatment that uses custom-made, removable plastic aligners to straighten teeth. Unlike traditional braces, these invisible braces don’t require wires or brackets. These aligners are crafted from FDA-approved plastic, ensuring safety and comfort.
Each aligner is designed to fit your unique needs, and your dentist applies the correct pressure to make adequate corrections. The best part? You can remove your braces while eating, brushing, or flossing, making it a convenient and hygienic choice for achieving your dream smile.
Let’s delve into how these clear aligners can help achieve your dream smile:
Crooked teeth
Invisalign braces are a potent solution for straightening misaligned or crooked teeth, bringing them into perfect harmony.
Overcrowded teeth
Invisalign braces can effectively resolve issues related to overcrowded teeth by creating more space between teeth, reducing tooth decay or gum disease risk.
Overbite and Underbite
These invisible braces correct bite issues, improve overall dental function and reduce potential jaw discomfort.
Crossbite
Clear aligners can also bring radical changes by aligning them properly in cases where upper and lower teeth do not meet correctly.
Open Bite
Invisalign can even address an open bite issue, where certain teeth fail to contact their opposing counterparts when your jaws are closed.
Reduced Teeth Grinding
Correcting misalignments with invisible braces may alleviate tooth grinding (bruxism) issues, improving dental health.
In pursuing a radiant smile and optimal oral health, the age-old debate between Invisalign vs braces rages on. Each offers its unique set of benefits and considerations, and choosing between them is a decision that impacts your appearance and your day-to-day life.
Let’s explore the pros and cons of Invisalign and braces comprehensively so you can make an informed choice on the path to your perfect smile.
Made from transparent, BPA-free plastic, are virtually invisible, reducing self-consciousness. Traditional braces, with metal wires and bands, are more conspicuous and can make patients feel self-conscious.
Clear aligners are smooth and comfortable, with no sharp parts to irritate cheeks or gums. Braces, with wires and brackets, can initially cause discomfort and may require orthodontic wax to reduce irritation.
Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, and flossing, needing 20–22 hours of wear daily for best results. Traditional braces are fixed, requiring strict oral hygiene and dietary restrictions.
Braces restrict certain foods like sticky candies and hard nuts to avoid damage. Invisalign aligners allow you to enjoy all foods and drinks without worry.
Clear aligners often have a shorter treatment time, depending on case complexity, while traditional braces may require several months to years, especially for complex issues.
Choosing between clear aligners and braces depends on personal preference and orthodontic needs. Ready to take the next step? Book a free consultation with one of our experienced team to determine the best approach for your individual needs.
