Why Choose to Get Invisalign Over Braces

Everybody wants a straight smile! However, you’ll quickly learn that there’s more than one way to make this dream a reality. One of the first decisions you’ll be faced with is whether or not you should opt for Invisalign instead of traditional wire braces. We’re here to tell you that there are several reasons that you should opt for Invisalign to get your smile back on track.

 

Virtually Invisible

One of the stark differences between Invisalign and wire braces is the fact that Invisalign is virtually invisible. People won’t readily notice that you are wearing them! Instead, you can have the peace of mind in knowing that your teeth are getting straighter without the same worries about the changes to your appearance.

 

Comfort

Wire braces can be uncomfortable. The metal spaces and wire can poke into the gums and cause some discomfort. With Invisalign, you don’t have to worry about this! The clear aligner slides into place, and it comfortable enough to wear the entire day.

 

Convenient

Invisalign requires far fewer dental visits than traditional braces. Wire braces require regular tightening, which can be a hassle. With Invisalign, the trays are made all at once, and your dentist will simply let you know when it’s time to transition to the next aligner.

 

Cost-Effective

Invisalign is more affordable than regular braces. While wire braces cost several thousand dollars, Invisalign only costs a small fraction of that!

 

Removable

Once wire braces go in, they are staying there until your treatment is complete. For most people, this means that you’ll be dealing with them for a couple of years. However, Invisalign, while required to wear for several hours per day, are removable. This means that you have more freedom and flexibility.

 

Simple Care

Wire braces require tedious brushing and flossing. With Invisalign, you can simply clean the aligner and then brush and floss your teeth as you normally would.

 

Less Pain

When you go to the dentist to have your wire braces tightened, the process is incredibly painful. With Invisalign, the teeth shift over time without the need for tightening. This means less pain and faster results!

 

Fewer Restrictions

You’ll quickly learn that wire braces come with a list of restrictions. You can’t eat certain foods, and you must make sure that you’re caring for them in a very specific way. With Invisalign, you can eat whatever food you would like since you have to remove the aligner while you eat anyway. This is an attractive feature, especially for younger people who have a harder time resisting some of the foods you must avoid when wearing wire braces.

 

The Proof is in the Results

Many people are curious if you can still get the same results with Invisalign, as you would expect from wire braces. You can rest easy knowing that you absolutely can! Invisalign produces amazing results. The proof is in the countless satisfied patients who have opted for this newer method instead of relying on traditional braces. You can still achieve a beautifully straight smile without all of the additional concerns that go along with wire braces.
