It’s a
difficult decision, you want to straighten your teeth but can’t decide which way to go when weighing the pros and cons of braces
vs Invisalign.
You should do your research, ask questions and - with the help of your orthodontist - make an informed decision. The type of orthodontic treatment that is suitable for you also depends on the type of orthodontic problem you need to have corrected -
Invisalign isn’t always the best option for some
patients which is why getting expert advice from your Orthodontist is essential
at Yonsei Uline Dental Clinic.
Braces are traditionally made of metal and attached to
the outside of the teeth, although there are now different options for braces
including ceramic and lingual (behind the teeth) braces. Metal wires and rubber
bands are attached to the brackets to manipulate your teeth to correct
orthodontic problems. Invisalign treatment uses clear, plastic aligners. The
aligners are customized for each patient by making a 3d scan of their mouth.
Customized aligners are then made to move the teeth in small steps until the
correct position is reached.
The Advantages of Invisalign
Here are some of the advantages of Invisalign:
Invisalign Looks Better
The biggest benefit of Invisalign is that the retainers
are virtually invisible. Adult patients love that colleagues and clients can’t see they are undergoing orthodontic
treatment. Self-conscious teens do too.
With Invisalign you don’t go through a period of people commenting on your new
braces. You won’t be worried about your smile in photos
- all you will see in photos is the progress of your ever-improving smile.
You Can Take the Aligners Out to Eat
Patients often ask us “do you have to wear Invisalign all the time?” For best results Invisalign needs to be worn for 20 - 22 hours each
day, which means you can take your aligners out when you are eating. This means
you don’t have to change what you eat or how you eat
it. With braces people find some types of foods difficult or uncomfortable to
eat.
It’s
Easier to Brush and Floss Your Teeth
As well as when eating and drinking, you’ll also remove your Invisalign
retainers to brush your teeth. With nothing on your teeth to worry about, you
can continue brushing and flossing as you did previously.
Fewer Consultations Required
With Invisalign, much of the orthodontist’s work happens before you wear your
aligners. A 3D scan of your teeth is used for making all the customised
retainers in a laboratory. You should change the multiple sets of retainers on
your orthodontist’s directions. There is no need to
visit the orthodontics for adjustments so visits are kept to a minimum to check
on progress. Few visits to the orthodontist means less time off work.
Comfortable to Wear
You may be wondering “are braces or invisalign more painful?”
Moving teeth around with Invisalign can be uncomfortable and painful, much like
traditional braces. However, there are also fewer mouth and gum problems with
Invisalign. Invisalign retainers are made of a special plastic and fitted to
each patients mouth, so - unlike braces - there are typically no cuts on the
inside cheeks or salt washes to deal with.
