What pictures do you have in mind when you think of orthodontic treatment? Imagine a young teenager whose teeth are clad with metal. To tell the truth, a lot of orthodontic patients resemble this. On the other side, advances in dentistry have expanded our options for teeth repair. A clear substitute for metal braces and wires are Invisalign discrete aligners.
As the name suggests, Invisalign trays are made of clear polyurethane plastic. Transparent aligners are thus almost invisible. Unlike metal or clear braces, Invisalign is not cemented to the teeth; instead, it is removable. For meals, social gatherings, and—most importantly—brushing and flossing your teeth, your clear aligners may be taken out.
Perks of using Invisalign
· Clean your teeth more easily: Using a detachable orthodontic device makes it much simpler to properly clean and floss your teeth. Additionally, you won't have the yellowing of teeth that metal braces may sometimes cause.
· Modest orthodontic correction: Not every patient is a good fit for Invisalign; everyone has certain requirements. However, you have a more covert choice if you don't think conventional metal brackets and cables will fit into your way of life.
· No food restrictions – There are some dietary adjustments that must be followed in order to prevent damage to metal braces and wires. At Monarch Dentistry in Waterloo, Invisalign may let you keep eating all of your favourite meals.
· No irritation – Unlike metal wires and braces, the thin, flexible plastic used to make Invisalign won't hurt the soft tissues of the mouth.
· A shield against teeth grinding: The aligners made of clear material provide defense against teeth clenching and grinding. The trays serve as mouthguards, protecting your teeth from severe wear and tear.
