Misaligned or crooked teeth are not attractive to the eye. They are also quite strenuous to clean. Teeth that cannot get cleaned properly are prone to contract periodontal disease. Contracting periodontal disease is a risk factor for tooth loss and bone damage.

Wearing traditional braces helps align back your teeth. But compared to Invisalign, traditional braces are not attractive. They are painful and uncomfortable to wear. Most adults would not be comfortable having braces. Invisalign is an excellent alternative to align your teeth. Below are five benefits of Invisalign over traditional braces.

Invisalign Are Practically Invisible

Traditional braces have unappealing chunks of metal that can make you uncomfortable about your smile. Your self-esteem can dive low when you attend social gatherings where you interact with other people. Experiencing that may not apply to Invisalign.

Invisalign is made from a unique BPA-free resin. They are clear, and no one can recognize that your teeth are under any orthodontic treatment except your dentist and yourself. Some people call Invisalign invisible braces because of how unseen they are. Unlike metal braces, you cannot get food stuck on them, and they have no embarrassing effect on your appearance.

Solves a Range of Problems

Invisalign can help resolve a broad range of dental problems. They are used to correct and treat overbite, rotation of teeth, open bite, crooked teeth, and gaps between your teeth. Patients going through the treatment process also know what to expect because the process is computerized. You can also reap the benefits of the technology. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign poses fewer risks to your gums and teeth.

Invisalign Has No Diet Constraint 

Traditional braces require you to follow a strict diet while you undergo treatment. Moreover, the metal wires tend to trap food particles around them, making it hard to maintain good oral and dental hygiene. Poor oral hygiene because of traditional braces increases your risk of gum problems and dental caries. Your dentist can advise you to use special instruments to clean the braces.

Invisalign allows you to continue eating, flossing, and brushing the same way you did before you had them. Invisalign is removable, and you can enjoy your favorite meals at any time. They are easy to clean, and this helps your dental and oral health improve.

Invisalign Are Comfortable 

Traditional braces can damage your teeth' surface because they get bonded to each other. Tissue injury can occur because of the metal brackets and wires. People with metal braces can undergo tender sores and tissue scratches during the treatment. 

Invisalign is contrary to traditional braces, and the chances of experiencing pains, lacerations, or bleeding are negligible. If you need to remove them for a while to either eat or drink, you can. Also, Invisalign is custom-made with soft material to fit your teeth comfortably.

Treatment Time Is Short

Traditional braces treatment can last from 24 to 36 months, contrary to Invisalign treatment that lasts from 12 to 18 months. Invisalign treatment is short and fast, and the number of dental appointments is few. Your dentist may need you to visit the dental clinic at least once in six weeks.
