With Invisalign you can continue eating all your favourite foods, you can enjoy social events and you can participate in sports all while perfecting your smile. Now doesn’t that sound like the ideal solution?  Continue reading to learn more about the wonderful benefits this device can offer you.

1.    Transparency

Wondering while it’s called Invisalign? It’s because Invisalign trays are invisible. Yes,that right. When you wear Invisalign nobody will know because these trays are completely clear. Your Invisalign trays will straighten your teeth without affecting the appearance of your smile or your face. For this reason, it makes an excellent option for adults and teenagers who don’t want the metal-look of braces.

2.    Comfort

Invisalign trays are made from smooth plastic, unlike braces which consist of sharp brackets and wires. Invisalign won’t cut or scrape your inner cheeks or cause you to develop mouth sores. Your trays are custom-made to fit comfortably in your mouth. With Invisalign, you can ditch the dental wax because you definitely won’t be needing it.

3.    Increased Oral Hygiene

A clean mouth is a healthy mouth, but this can be difficult to achieve with braces. Brushing and flossing difficulties can result in poor oral hygiene and can cause decay to develop in hard to reach areas. This means once the braces are removed the patient will require additional dental work.

The good news is, none of this concerns you. Why?

Your Invisalign trays are removable, this means each time you brush or floss you will remove them from your mouth and pop them back in when you’re finished. Your oral hygiene routine will remain the same and you won’t have to use special floss or tools, unlike braces. You can clean your trays easily using your regular toothbrush and water to ensure there is no buildup. With Invisalign treatment, you can look forward to having a beautiful and healthy smile. 

4.    Convenience

Do you have a busy schedule? Invisalign only requires maintenance appointments every 6weeks, whereas other teeth straightening options will require you to spend much more time in your dentist’s or orthodontist’s office.

5.    Removable

Other teeth straightening options won’t provide you with the same flexibility Invisalign does. If you participate in sports or play in a band, you can remove your Invisalign trays.

6.    No Food Restrictions

When you wear braces, you must follow strict guidelines to avoid damaging them. This includes avoiding any foods that are too hard, chewy, or sticky. With Invisalign, you won’t have to say goodbye to your favourite foods because your trays are removable.

7.    Improved Oral Health

Invisalign can correct crowding or gaps between the teeth, making them easier to clean.This will improve your long-term oral health.

8.    Beautiful and Straight Teeth

Last but not least, Invisalign will help you to achieve a beautiful smile. The results of Invisalign can be truly life-changing, and having straighter teeth can directly impact yourself-confidence.
