Advantages of wearing invisible braces

When you are an adult who has misaligned teeth, you may have simply gotten used to it. And may feel that there is nothing to be gained from straightening your teeth at this time in your life.

However, alongside better oral health and better general health, there are many other advantages to straightening your teeth, and there are even more to be had if you can do so with an aligner like Invisalign.

At Spa Dental Sydney, our team knows how the wearing of invisible braces Sydney can change someone’s life, and we are always happy to ensure that our patients get the most out of their orthodontic treatment when they come to us.

But what are some of the key advantages gained from using invisible braces Sydney like Invisalign? Read on for our team’s top 5!

Discretion

As you may have guessed, invisible braces Sydney like Invisalign are made from clear plastic and are fitted to slot over your teeth like a sports guard.

This means that in day-to-day life, even your closest friends may not notice that you are wearing them, and you will be able to give talks or lectures without drawing unwanted attention to your teeth.

Accelerated treatment

If you are suitable for treatment with Invisalign, another advantage is the accelerated treatment that this aligner can offer.

For most orthodontic cases involving adult teeth and fitted appliances, the treatment can take up to and over 36 months. With Invisalign, you may be able to get the straighter smile that you want in as little as 3 months, meaning that this option is an obvious time-saver!

Hygiene

Fitted braces often require the wearer to attend appointments with the hygienist to ensure that the brackets and under the wires are clean to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.

But, with Invisalign, the aligner is fully removable, so you will be able to take it out to brush your teeth, floss, and attend checkups with our team, meaning that your oral health should not suffer as a result of this treatment.

Easy care

Following on from the example of needing help to clean your teeth correctly when you are wearing a fitted brace, if you are wearing an orthodontic appliance, you may need to use interdental brushes to care for your braces correctly.

If you can wear Invisalign, you may find that this aligner is exceedingly easy to care for, as it is removable and should be cleaned or washed twice a day by simply running it under a cold tap.

The aligners themselves should be changed every 14 days, so staining is unlikely to occur. But if it does occur, you should use a denture cleaner to resolve it and should not dunk your aligners into mouthwash.

Comfort

While it is hard to specify for each person how wearing a fitted brace or removable aligner will feel, we are fairly confident that due to the underlying mechanism of how Invisalign works, it will be more comfortable than a fitted brace.

It does not rely on pulling the teeth into their new positions, but gently pushes them, so there is less pressure in the mouth and on the teeth.

DISCLAIMER

All treatment carries risks. Individual consultation is required with one of our practitioners to ensure that the treatment is right for you.
