Benefits of Invisalign #7 More comfortable than braces.
One of the biggest benefits that patients can experience from choosing Invisalign is its superior comfort over standard methods of teeth straightening. The orthodontics specialists at Manhattan Beach Orthodontics want you to understand how this cutting-edge treatment can enhance your smile without compromising your ability to enjoy life.
Invisalign Aligners
The aligners are made from smooth, clear plastic that fits over your teeth, so they won’t cause mouth injuries. Traditional braces are held to the teeth using metal wire and brackets, which can be troublesome. The metal can cause abrasions to the cheeks, lips and tongue, leaving sore spots behind that are then aggravated by further contact. Your orthodontist can provide you with rubber bands to place around the brackets, but they won’t completely prevent abrasions.
This orthodontic treatment can also extremely uncomfortable just to wear. The brackets and wires exert significant pressure on the teeth, and your orthodontist must tighten them routinely to shift the teeth into the desired position. For many patients, this can cause chronic pain and gum tenderness. Invisalign aligners take a gentler approach to orthodontic treatment. Each aligner is worn for approximately two weeks at a time before switching to the next one in the set. Although some patients may notice slight discomfort with a new aligner, this typically minimal and only lasts a few days.
Of course, an important part of comfort is being able to keep your usual diet and oral hygiene routine. With traditional braces, it becomes necessary to avoid certain hard, sticky and chewy foods, which removes a lot of options for your diet. Furthermore, they make it difficult to brush and floss thoroughly, which can cause other dental problems. Invisalign’s clear plastic aligners help you avoid that hassle. Simply remove the aligner at meals and during your oral care routine. However, be sure to put it back in as soon as you’re finished. The aligners should be worn for at least 22 hours each day for optimal results.
