Invisalign® clear aligners are made from nearly invisible, BPA-free acrylic, making them almost completely undetectable when placed over your teeth. Their discretion is one of the most notable benefits of the aligners, especially for older teen and adult patients who wish to avoid the cosmetic effects of traditional metal braces. In addition to the clear acrylic that they’re made from, the aligners are made even more discreet by the fact they’re designed to conform precisely to your upper and lower teeth. As you speak and smile throughout the day, your aligners will remain firmly in place, so they won’t move and give away their presence.
The appearance of metal braces isn’t always a deterrent to orthodontic treatment. However, aside from how they look, braces can also impact everyday things like what you’re able to eat. Because traditional brackets are bonded to your teeth, the brackets and wires can make it difficult to eat certain foods without damaging your braces or risking food particles sticking between them. By contrast, Invisalign® aligners can be temporarily removed before you eat to avoid any complications. You won’t have to change your diet for fear of your favorite foods interfering with your treatment.
Avoiding certain foods during traditional orthodontic treatment is one way to avoid harmful food particles and oral bacteria that could lead to issues like tooth decay and gum disease. This also takes properly cleaning your teeth and braces, which often requires additional hygiene tools such as interdental cleaners to clean between brackets, wires, and teeth. With Invisalign®, however, you can remove your aligners before brushing and flossing your teeth with your regular toothbrush and floss. As long as you stick to a strict schedule of brushing and flossing your teeth every day and visiting your dentist regularly, your orthodontic treatment won’t raise your risks of developing a chronic dental health issue.
Invisalign® aligners aren’t just discreet, they can also make life with orthodontic treatment much easier, more comfortable, and more convenient. For more information, schedule a consultation by calling Newhall Dental Arts in Newhall, CA, today at (661) 259-7760.
