Our doctors and our team know it is natural for you to feel some concern when you need to wear any type of dental device to correct a problem with your teeth. Both braces and Invisalign® can produce great results in giving you the smile you’ve always wanted. Both methods can straighten your teeth and alleviate such issues as crowding, spacing, crossbite, overbite, and underbite.
You can take a cross-country road trip in a ten-year-old economy car, or you can make the trip in a brand-new luxury sedan. Both will get you to your destination, but you will be far more comfortable traveling in the luxury sedan. Similarly, your journey to a great smile is much more comfortable and convenient with Invisalign® as opposed to traditional braces.
Some discomfort you may experience with braces is significantly reduced with Invisalign®. Because Invisalign® is custom-fit to your mouth and made of plastic, you will feel less pain, irritation, and soreness. Unlike braces, no food restrictions exist; you can eat anything on your diet.
Of course you will want to brush and floss your teeth to prevent plaque buildup, tooth discoloration, and dental decay. If you wear braces, these simple tasks can become quite a challenge. Invisalign® aligners are very easy to remove and replace, so you can brush or floss like normal without having to work your way around any metallic framework covering your teeth.
You do not have to be embarrassed to show your teeth when you are using the Invisalign® system. Since the aligners are practically invisible, no one will notice you wearing them! Whether you are a teenager or an older adult, you can live your life normally.
