Over the years, braces and aligners have moved forward to provide cosmetic systems that are more appealing for your smile. Below, we offer a review of Invisalign clear aligners and how their impact on your smile differs from that of metal braces.
The clear material that makes up your Invisalign aligners makes your appliance virtually invisible, so it is hard to detect in your smile when worn. The process of straightening your teeth can be completed without the same cosmetic concerns as braces or the appearance of your smile. Your Invisalign aligners are highly capable of improving your smile by straightening your teeth, as long as you care for the aligners and your teeth properly.
Invisalign offers several of the same benefits as traditional orthodontic treatment, but it also has many unique benefits of its own. For example, while braces require food restrictions to prevent damage to the appliances, the removable nature of Invisalign means you can eat whatever you want without worry. Remove your appliance before eating, and then clean your teeth and place the aligner back over your smile.
