Invisalign Invisible Braces - More Comfortable, Hygienic And Aesthetic Than Metal Braces
Invisalign invisible braces can align your teeth without restraining your smile. Yes, because unlike with the traditional method of correcting misaligned teeth which employs metal braces, invisalign braces are a lot more comfortable, hygienic and most especially aesthetic. Invisalign braces are almost invisible because it is made of clear plastic. Thus, teenagers who are at the stage where they are very conscious of their looks can now enthusiastically look forward to correcting their misaligned teeth without the embarrassment of having to flash a metallic smile.
Teeth alignment using invisalign invisible braces starts with a thorough examination of the existing condition of the teeth to be aligned. This involves taking of photographs and bite impressions which will be used to create a three dimensional model of the mouth. Then through computer aided technology the gradual stages of teeth alignment will be simulated, up to the final or desired teeth alignment. This will now be the basis for the production of a series of plastics retainers.
On the average 18 to 30 plastic retainer trays are needed to correct misaligned teeth, although the number of trays varies depending on the case of each patient. All the trays in the series will be worn one at a time for a duration of two weeks. To avoid confusion only one up to two trays is dispensed by the orthodontist at a time. This means that the first tray in the series will move the teeth up to a few millimeters then it will be replaced by the second tray that will continue the movement of the teeth. Then the next tray in the series will be worn up to the final tray so that the desired alignment will be achieved.
Invisalign invisible braces should stay in the mouth for 24 hours daily although it can be remove during eating or when it is being cleaned. When wearing the tray for the first time some discomforts in the mouth can be experienced but after some time you’ll get used to it. But unlike with metal braces no pain will be felt although in some cases the plastic braces can cause some tears in the soft tissues of the mouth. This can be remedied by applying wax on the areas in contact with the tray.
Cleaning and maintenance of invisalign invisible braces is not as tedious with the traditional metal braces. You do not have to bring it to a hygienist for a thorough cleaning and there’s no need to regularly bring it to the orthodontist for fitting adjustments which can be quite painful. And since it is made from smooth clear plastic you will be spared from cuts and irritations which are the usual complaints of metal brace wearers. And if you are into sports there’s no need for you to use a mouth guard every time you want to engage in your favorite sports.
You are also free to eat any food you want. You crave for popcorn or crispy foods? Go indulge, you can even chew gums. These you cannot do with metal braces because it is fixed on your teeth but with invisalign braces just simply remove it before eating. Then after you are through clean the tray and your teeth and place the tray back on your mouth.
Clearly invisalign invisible braces is more hygienic because it can be completely removed from the mouth so that the teeth can be thoroughly brushed and flossed. This cannot be possible with metal braces because only the dentist can remove it and since relatively it stays fixed on your teeth it can even cause some tooth stain or tooth decay.
