Why Invisalign Is Better Than Braces

Which is the better choice, Invisalign or metal braces? If you've ever

been cursed with having to wear those metal wires, you'll know the

answer to that question right away. Invisalign is a much better option

for a number of reasons. Here is why this teeth-straightening method is

getting so popular.



The Visibility Factor



While metal braces show the world that you're straightening your teeth,

Invisalign is almost invisible. It uses "aligners" that are placed in

the mouth with tiny plastic wires so that they don't show. Unless you

look really closely at a person's teeth, you'd have no idea that they

were wearing them. This is a major reason why so many people are

choosing these over braces, because it cuts down on the embarrassment

and name calling.



Painless And Easy



The aligners that Invisalign uses are custom made to fit your jaw line.

They use 3-D computer imaging to graph the changes over time, and new

aligners are made for these adjustments. Instead of adjusting the metal

like they do with traditional braces, you actually remove the aligner

and put in the next one in the series. This makes the procedure

completely painless, and that's another reason why this option is so

much more attractive.



Good Dental Hygiene



With traditional braces you have to routinely clean them. Even with this

routine cleaning, it's easy for tartar and plaque to build up in

hard-to-reach areas. There's just no way to keep them completely clean.

Invisalign aligners can be removed when you eat or during other special

occasions. This means that you can keep your mouth completely clean and

make sure that you don't have any build-up anywhere in your mouth. It

also increases the comfort factor.



Invisalign Works Better



Finally, and this is the best reason why removable braces are better

than braces - it works. This method gets much better results than metal

braces for a number of reasons. For one thing, the 3-D computer imaging

allows the dentist to fully shape your teeth. There's no guesswork

involved in it; you can actually see what your smile is going to look

like when it's all done. Another reason it works so well is that the

system is so versatile. Each set of aligners is custom made for you, and

manufactured to work with your teeth and gums. This means that they can

work to get your smile back the way it should be. With a better smile,

you'll feel a huge boost in your confidence and people will really see

it.



So, let's say goodbye to those metal wires. It's a great thing that

removable braces have come along, because there are lots of people out

there who want to straighten their teeth but are afraid to put the metal

in their mouth. This is a great option because it does it in a painless

and almost invisible way. Adults face a serious stigma when they're

thinking about getting braces, and this new method takes the stigma out

of it. Finally, you can have the straight smile you're dreaming of.
