Sciota, Pennsylvania
As another year comes to a close, what are you thankful for? If you’re currently undergoing orthodontic treatment with Invisalign, you might have a few extra reasons to give thanks. After all, Invisalign straightens teeth discreetly without the proverbial “mouth full of metal” and often works more quickly than braces. The aligners are also removable, making it easier for you to eat and keep your teeth clean. Most of these advantages of Invisalign are known, but there are some hidden benefits to Invisalign that you may not realize. Let’s take a deeper look at some of these additional reasons to be thankful for your Invisalign this year.
Invisalign protects dental restorations
Orthodontic treatment with braces may compromise existing dental restorations such as fillings and crowns. When braces are initially installed or even adjusted, this can cause these restorations to break, crack or completely fail – all situations that may require you seek out the services of an emergency dentist. On the other hand, the clear plastic aligners used in treatment with Invisalign are made to fit over your teeth, actually serving as a barrier that protects any existing restorations from harm.
Invisalign can lower your risk of tooth decay
Keeping your teeth clean when you have braces can be a challenge. You have to navigate your toothbrush around the brackets and wires, and must use a dental pick instead of floss to clean the narrow spaces between your teeth. Even with a diligent routine of oral care, food particles can accumulate around and even behind the brackets, creating areas of decay that must be treated whenever your orthodontic treatment with braces is complete. As mentioned earlier, the aligners in Invisalign are removable. This means, when it is time for you to clean your teeth, you have total access. You can even floss them as you would normally!
Invisalign can improve your self-esteem
Many patients – especially adults – opt for Invisalign because the aligners are transparent, making them nearly impossible to identify when worn. No matter your age, Invisalign discreetly straightens teeth without the people around you being any wiser about it. And, having straighter teeth allows you to show them with confidence, meaning you’re likely to smile and feel better about yourself in general.
