When individuals weigh their options for orthodontic
corrections, a number of factors may be considered. With Invisalign®, many
patients have found their concerns to be comprehensively addressed through the
numerous benefits offered by this clear alternative to traditional metal
braces.
Some of these advantages include:
Convenience: For
many patients, weekly orthodontics visits to the dentist can be difficult to
fit into a busy schedule. With Invisalign®, patients receive sets of aligners
to be switched out in accordance to their unique treatment plan. Dental visits
occur at five week intervals, during which our Fountain Valley dentist will
check your treatment process and provide you with your next set of aligning
trays.
Easy Maintenance:
As the aligning trays are removable, keeping your teeth and trays clean is a
simple process. While it is highly recommended that Invisalign® patients wear
their aligners for a minimum of 22 hours per day, the trays should be removed
before eating or drinking. Once you’re ready to put your aligners back on,
patients need to brush and floss their teeth. Not only does this encourage more
rigorous oral hygiene, but it can also prevent food debris and bacteria from
becoming trapped between the teeth and aligners.
Aesthetics:
Another important advantage of Invisalign® is the appearance. For many adult
patients, the idea of wearing metal braces can be enough of a deterrent to keep
individuals from seeking orthodontic care. As the aligning trays are made of a
clear plastic, the treatment is nearly invisible, allowing patients to
straighten misaligned teeth discreetly. This can be a significant advantage for
individuals that want to maintain a professional appearance while undergoing
orthodontic care.
Cost: Often, many
patients find Invisalign® treatment to be comparable to traditional
orthodontia. As a result, clear braces become a feasible option for patients
looking to correct minor to moderate orthodontic conditions.
