3 Reasons That Make Invisalign Popular

For the longest time, the only way to fix a crooked tooth was to wear a set of wired braces, which, although effective, largely affected the appearance of your smile. There was also a lack of flexibility that comes with traditional braces. Cleaning them is much harder and requires the assistance of an orthodontist or hygienist, and you also have to avoid some foods. Once fitted with traditional braces, you cannot remove them by yourself as it requires professional assistance.

Invisalign has solved a number of problems associated with traditional braces. This has seen it become more popular and a preferred method of treatment for many. Three key reasons that make it a perfect choice for most patients.

1. They Are Nearly Invisible

If you are considering being treated with Invisalign in Sanger, the good news is that these braces are hardly noticeable. No one you will be able to tell that you are undergoing treatment, and this does not compromise its effectiveness in any way. Your dentist will customize a clear set of trays that you will wear over your natural teeth. The trays are made from special thin plastic and do not include any wires or brackets. You can, therefore, carry on with your everyday life without fear of the attention drawn by traditional braces.

When traditional braces were the only option available, many patients avoided getting the needed treatment because they did not want to deal with wires and brackets and restrictions. However, now anyone seeking a straighter smile can embark on treatment by visiting a dentist near them. Immediately after wearing the trays, you may experience slight discomfort as they offer a snug fit, but thereafter you can proceed to talk and smile normally. You will barely feel them, and you can continue enjoying your favorite foods. Just remember to take them off when consuming anything besides water and to clean your teeth before putting them back on.

2. It Is Effective for a Range of Alignment Problems

Whether you are having slight alignment issues like protruding or crooked teeth or more serious conditions like malocclusion and underbite, Invisalign offers a fix. It is used for a range of dental alignment problems and thus offers wholesome treatment without the need for additional procedures.

The most common issues fixed by Invisalign include:

• Closing gaps between teeth
• Creating a proper bite by correcting an underbite, a situation in which the upper teeth protrude over the lower teeth.
• Fixing an underbite which occurs when the lower teeth protrude past the upper teeth
• Treating an open bite, which is when the upper teeth and lower teeth do not close properly for an even bite
• Treating a crossbite

By offering effective treatment for the above issues, Invisalign will allow your teeth to function properly and ultimately make cleaning easy so as to avoid decay and gum disease.

3. Personalizes Treatment

At The Sanger Dentist, we provide individualized Invisalign treatment plans, which should be the case at all dental clinics. Upon diagnosing your issue, your dentist is supposed to custom-make a set of Invisalign trays that gear towards fixing your specific issue. So, instead of getting a one fits all kind of treatment, your issues are thoroughly addressed for effective treatment.

Advancement in technology, such as the use of 3D, reduces room for error, and also makes treatment smooth and fast. Everything is done digitally, and within a short amount of time, your trays will be ready. You should be getting a new set of trays made every two weeks, with each subsequent one being tighter so as to move your teeth in the needed direction. There will also be constant monitoring by an orthodontist to evaluate progress made by the treatment.

There are many other reasons that may make you choose Invisalign over other forms of orthodontic treatment. These include the fact that they are completely painless to install and can also be easily removed and slipped back on when there is a need to.
