Invisalign has only become more popular in recent years, as more and more patients achieve the straight and seamless smiles that they want with this state-of-the-art treatment. Our Mill Valley Invisalign dentists have seen firsthand how positive and convenient the Invisalign treatment process is. Today we are going to be reviewing a few of the key benefits of choosing Invisalign over conventional metal braces.
Appearance
Usually, the first reason that patients consider Invisalign is because it is so discrete. Living with metal bonded to your teeth for months or even years is far from ideal; Invisalign aligners, on the other hand, are made from clear plastic resin, so they blend right in.
Cleanliness
With conventional braces, those brackets and wires we were just talking about stay bonded to your dental enamel 24/7. Unfortunately, metal brackets tend to become magnets for bacterial plaque production, because it is especially difficult to clean around and inside of the metal components.
Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you will be able to brush, floss, and use a mouth rinse just as you do now. You’ll even take your aligners out to eat and drink; so they’ll stay fresh and clean. And you never have to worry about getting chewy foods or leafy greens stuck in your braces.
Predictability & Planning
Before we even begin the Invisalign treatment process, our team will be able to show you through computer generated imagery, what your smile will look like post-treatment. This powerful technology allows us to make any tweaks to your treatment plan before we design your aligners.
There is a lot to consider when choosing an esthetic treatment option. As always, our Mill Valley Invisalign dentists are here to give you information on orthodontic treatment, or any other treatments that we provide.
