If your teeth are not as straight as you would like, you may have considered discussing your orthodontic options with your Brisbane dentist. With today’s modern dentistry, traditional metal braces are not your only choice; you may want to consider Invisalign clear aligners.
Are You a Candidate for Invisalign Clear Aligners?
Generally, if your dentist determines that traditional braces would work for your dental situation, you are likely a candidate for Invisalign. If you suffer from any of the following, you may be eligible for Invisalign clear aligners:
- Mildly gapped or crowded teeth
- Mild overbite or underbite
- Mildly protruding or crooked teeth
Is Invisalign Better Than Braces?
Although traditional braces certainly have their place in certain orthodontic situations, the following reasons may cause you to consider Invisalign clear aligners to straighten your teeth:
Comfort – Invisalign aligners are customised to your teeth, and there aren’t any wires or brackets that can cause you discomfort.
Better dental hygiene – Because you can remove your aligners to brush and floss your teeth, you have a better chance of avoiding tooth decay and gum disease.
Correct dental issues – Correcting your orthodontic issues with Invisalign makes you less likely to develop gum disease, bite issues, tooth loss and sensitivity.
Self-esteem boost – Your Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible, and you can feel confident wearing them. In addition, your self-confidence may increase even more once you complete your treatment.
Fewer dental visits – Because you don’t have to visit our dental clinic to have your braces adjusted, you can enjoy more time doing what you want.
Eat and drink anything you want – With Invisalign aligners, there are no limitations on what you can eat and drink. You simply take your aligners out before eating or drinking. Then, after you are finished, rinse your mouth and put them back in.
Shorter treatment time – There is a good chance you will wear your Invisalign clear aligners for less time than traditional braces.
