Crooked teeth are not just affecting your smile but are also difficult to clean increasing your chances of contracting a periodontal disease and risk bone and gum and eventually loss of a tooth. If the thought of wearing metal braces is stopping you from correcting your crooked teeth, Invisalign might be the solution for you. Invisalign is a leading brand of orthodontic teeth alignment devices that hide in plain sight as they are transparent. Depending on the type of correction you want, you are likely to wear Invisalign for a period ranging from 12-18 months. Invisalign aligners provide several advantages of traditional metal braces in addition to better appearance. Invisalign aligners are easier to clean as they are removable while traditional braces are fixed so harder to brush and tend to trap food and plaque. Traditional braces come with food restrictions and few athletic restrictions, as they are prone to damaged brackets and broken wires. Braces need an expert to readjust them frequently, especially if they are broken, while removing and reapplying Invisalign does not need any expert help. Traditional braces contain protruding bits of metal and wire, which may impose to your gums and inside of the mouth. While clear braces are smooth, and they don’t have any sharp edges or protruding bits.
