What Makes Invisalign® Different from Braces?

There are many reasons to worry about crooked teeth. Your smile’s appearance is one, but so is the impact that the imbalance can have on your overall oral health. For instance, crooked teeth don’t work as well when you bite and chew, which means they’re more likely to become damaged or develop decay. Unfortunately, many patients in Auburn Hills, MI, hesitate to fix their crooked teeth because they worry about how braces will affect their lives. The good news is that, with Invisalign® clear aligners, they don’t have to worry, and instead, can enjoy a discreet and comfortable way of straightening their teeth.

They aren’t obvious

Invisalign® clear aligners are called such because they’re made from virtually invisible acrylic. This means that, even while in place, they remain virtually undetectable by others, even when up close. For patients who worry most about their smile’s appearance, this optimal level of discretion is one of the greatest benefits of Invisalign® aligners.

They don’t affect your diet

Besides being invisible, clear aligners are also temporarily removable. That means you can remove them before eating so that you don’t have to worry about food particles sticking between your braces. Without such considerations, you won’t have to make any special, inconvenient changes to your diet throughout the course of your treatment.

They don’t impede your hygiene

The aligners not only make eating easier, but they also make brushing and flossing your teeth easier, as well. Removing your aligners means your toothbrush and floss can effectively clean your teeth, and you won’t need the assistance of specialized tools like interdental brushes to keep your smile healthy.
