Editing 5 Reasons Why Invisalign Is Better Than Traditional Braces

We have all seen individuals walking around with uncomfortable metal braces. You can't help but look at them. After all, the shiny metal kind of stands out and grabs your focus. Because of this, those who have metal braces often take a verbal lashing from their school-age mates. With the advent of Invisalign, the dentist has been able to help eliminate the psychological stress, as well as many other problems, associated with metal braces.

Invisalign is a brand of clear, removable teeth aligners that fit over teeth and are virtually undetectable. The aligners are hand-made for each patient. Every 2 weeks, a new aligner is provided, gradually moving the teeth into their correct alignment. There are many reasons the Invisalign system is more beneficial than traditional metal braces, and the relative importance of each reason will vary from person to person. Here are five reasons why Invisalign is better than traditional braces:

1. No more teasing.With this system, being called names like "brace face" and "metal mouth" is a thing of the past. Those who go with the more modern system do not usually experience teasing. This alone is one of the major reasons why so many students are opting to discuss to their orthodontist or cosmetic dentist about Invisalign.

 
2. Normal behavior.Traditional braces make it difficult for people to brush and floss their teeth and sometimes even eat certain foods. With the more modern option, wearers can go about their normal activities, for the most part. While they have to keep the device in their mouth for ten hours per day, they can have it out for of the other 4, which provides an opportunity to properly brush, floss and eat.

 
3. Comfort.Traditional braces are far from comfortable for most indviduals. They have sharp edges and brackets that can cut into the wearer's mouth and easily cause irritation. Those who opt for Invisalign do not experience such problems because the system does not have sharp edges, brackets or bands.

 
4. Maintain color.Traditional braces, which involve bonding the materials to the teeth, can lead to discoloration of the tooth, which becomes apparent once the braces are removed. Invisalign avoids this discoloration because the device is not bonded or glued onto the teeth. When patients stop using the Invisalign system, they still have their normal tooth color.

 
5. Adult friendly.Not many adults can get away with wearing metal braces in a professional setting without raising a few eyebrows. Those beyond the sixteen years who seek the help of a cosmetic dentist can benefit from a system that is less visible and will be more accepted in a professional, adult setting. This helps them to be more comfortable while still getting the treatment they desire.

One of the main reasons that some people choose metal braces today is because of the cost difference. While there is a higher cost associated with the Invisalign option, most people agree that not being known as "brace face" or "metal mouth" is well worth the additional benefits that the Invisalign option provides.
