How Invisalign Braces Work

If you would like to straighten your teeth however you are concerned about the appearance of metal braces, Invisalign could be the ideal treatment for you. Excellence in Dentistry in Wickham Terrace offers Invisalign to help their patients discreetly straighten their teeth, without worrying about the appearance of metal braces.

Many adults feel concerned about the appearance of crooked teeth however they feel self-conscious about the prospect of wearing traditional braces, fortunately Invisalign can straighten teeth discreetly and effectively. At Excellence in Dentistry we believe there are three main benefits of Invisalign. These benefits include:

1. No metal or brackets

A common concern for many people who are considering orthodontic treatment is the level of comfort they will experience throughout the treatment. Many people find that it takes some time to become accustomed to the feel of metal wires and potentially bulky brackets. Fortunately with Invisalign there is no metal or brackets. The aligners are made of plastic which is molded to sit comfortably on your teeth.

2. You can eat whatever you like

For many people the idea of not enjoying their favorite foods for the duration of their orthodontic treatment is very daunting. There are a number of foods that should not be eaten while wearing traditional braces. This is not a concern for those wearing Invisalign as the aligners are removable. This means you can take them out to enjoy your favorite foods.

3. The aligners are virtually invisible

The aligners are clear and thus they are virtually invisible, making Invisalign a great option for people who feel self-conscious about the appearance of braces. While you are wearing your aligners others will find it very difficult to spot your orthodontic appliance.
