Dental braces have come a long way in the past few years. Today, instead of having cumbersome, traditional braces, you can opt for clear braces in the form of Invisalign. The clear aligners can gradually improve your smile while remaining discreet. Here are some things you should know about Invisalign before opting for the treatment.
Traditional braces cannot be removed, but this isn’t the case with Invisalign. You can remove your aligners for a couple of hours every day.
If you have metal dental braces, there are a variety of foods you have to avoid eating. You don’t have the same restrictions with Invisalign since you can simply remove the aligners and eat whatever you want. However, it’s important to remember to remove your aligners when you’re eating and drinking liquids other than water.
While you have to care for your aligners, this is relatively straightforward. You will have to rinse them upon removing them from your mouth and clean them properly with a toothbrush and water or antibacterial soap.
There isn’t just one type of Invisalign. There are many different options, including those for fixing minor problems, intermediate issues, and extremely tough orthodontic issues. You can choose between Invisalign Lite, Full, Teen, and Express, all of which suit different needs.
Invisalign is an excellent way to straighten your teeth and perfect your smile. In addition to being completely customized, it’s discreet and effective.
