Choosing which teeth straightening treatment is right for you is a big decision – they’re all a big commitment, but some more than others.
Invisalign is a discrete alternative to traditional braces.
Your aligners are sculpted to your teeth out of a smooth thermoplastic material called SmartTrack, making them comfortable to wear – you don’t need to worry about any metal elements irritating your gums.
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign is removable. This means you can avoid food getting stuck in them by taking them out before eating. Because they’re removable, you can also maintain the best possible oral hygiene by removing them when brushing your teeth.
Because you don’t need wires tightening or brackets adjusting, your check-up appointments will likely be much faster than they would be with traditional braces. During these appointments, we will just check your progress is on track.
Another massive benefit of Invisalign is the freedom you have with your food. Chewing gum, popcorn and apples are all no-go foods for metal brace wearers. But Invisalign patients don’t need to adjust their diet at all, provided you remove your aligners whilst eating.
