Discover the Benefits of Teeth Straightening Aligners for a Confident Smile

If you have teeth that are misaligned or crooked, it can impact your self-esteem and confidence. However, misaligned teeth also make eating some of the foods you love and maintaining top-notch oral hygiene more challenging. Fortunately, advances in orthodontics offer a solution that doesn’t include metal braces: Invisalign clear aligners that can correct mild malocclusion discreetly and comfortably. 

Invisalign for Your Teeth

Invisalign led the way in clear aligners when it was introduced in the late 1990s. Invisalign aligners are clear and nearly invisible, giving patients a discreet and attractive teeth straightening solution. Using gentle and consistent pressure, removable clear aligners move your teeth to straighter positions. 

A Comfortable Metal-Free Option

Some patients find metal braces with wires and brackets unattractive, but there are other issues with metal. For example, some people have metal sensitivity or allergies. Invisalign clear aligners are made with SmartTrack®, a medical-grade material engineered specifically for comfort and flexibility. SmartTrack® is a BPA-free thermoplastic material, so Invisalign is a smart choice for people who can’t tolerate metal.

Issues Invisalign Can Address

If you have any of these dental problems, Invisalign may be the best option for correcting your misaligned teeth:

• Crowded teeth: Teeth that are crowded closely together can wear down more quickly than normal. Also, crowded teeth are difficult to clean and can even be harder to chew with. Invisalign can reposition your teeth. 
• Bite alignment: A bite misalignment can be a crossbite, underbite, or overbite. Bite alignment issues can lead to bruxism or TMJ disorder. Invisalign can be a viable option for mild bite issues. 
• Gaps between teeth: If you have gaps between your teeth, it’s unsightly. However, food also gets stuck between these spaces, which can result in tooth decay. Invisalign moves your teeth closer together. 

Enjoy the Foods You Love

With metal braces, there are foods you have to avoid. This includes hard foods like chips or nuts, and also corn and popcorn. Hard foods can damage the wires and brackets, while foods like corn get stuck in the braces and are hard to clean. However, with Invisalign, you remove your aligners to eat, eliminating any dietary restrictions. 

Improved Oral Hygiene

Metal braces can pose a problem for oral hygiene because it’s simply more difficult to brush and floss your teeth effectively. However, Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can keep up good oral care while straightening your teeth. 

Straighter Teeth in Less Time

In most cases, the entire Invisalign process is much shorter than that of metal braces. When you wear clear aligners, your teeth should be straighter within 6 to 18 months.
