What are some of the advantages of wearing invisible braces?

When you are an adult who has misaligned teeth it can create a bit of awkwardness in social situations, especially if you have a role that requires you to talk in front of a large group of people, such as a lecturer or business manager.

In years gone by, the only way you would have been able to correct even the mildest misalignment with your front teeth would be to take on a fitted metal brace. There has been a push in recent years in orthodontic care and now you can have your teeth straightened using an invisible aligner or brace, which is also known as Invisalign.

When you come to visit our team at Spa Dental Sydney, we will always be happy to discuss the likelihood of you being able to wear invisible braces Sydney, also known as Invisalign. This aligner has helped thousands of people to get the straighter smile that they want in an accelerated time frame, without sacrificing the aesthetics of their teeth, making it ideal for adults and teenagers to use.

At this point, you may not need convincing that this is the ideal solution for you. However, there are many other advantages to wearing invisible braces Sydney and in this article, our team aims to highlight 5 of the common ones that we have observed.

Better fit

Invisible braces Sydney are designed to slot over your teeth like a sports guard and due to the clear plastic, they are visually discreet. The fit is designed to make them as comfortable as possible to wear, as you will need to wear them for around 22 hours a day, meaning that the aligner will need to be worn when you are in bed. Because of the custom-fitted design of each of the aligners in the series, this will not apply pressure to your inner cheeks or tongue.

Removable

As mentioned earlier, invisible aligners like Invisalign are removable, meaning you can take them out to brush your teeth, eat food or drink beverages that are not water. However, in order for this aligner to work, as mentioned earlier, you will need to wear it for around 22 hours per day which means that you will need to keep it in and only take it out when needed for eating or drinking.

Accelerated treatment

Many people associate adult orthodontic care with being very prolonged, as the majority of patients who have worn fitted braces have needed to wear them for around 3 years at a time. Depending on the severity of the misalignment that you have, Invisalign may be able to straighten your teeth in as little as 3 to 6 months, provided that you stay in contact with our team and follow our clinical instructions about daily wear.

Comfort

There is sadly no such thing as a completely comfortable orthodontic tool, even in this day and age. However, while Invisalign will need to apply pressure to your teeth in order to move them, many patients have found that it is indeed more comfortable to wear in daily life, especially when compared to fitted braces.

Easy to use

Along with all of these advantages, this aligner is easier to use, as you will not need to attend a large number of dental appointments to have it tightened and you can fit the check-ups with our team into a simple photograph sent via an app, making it ideal for people with busy lives.
