The Visible Difference: Invisalign vs Braces
- 4. If you are visiting a family dentist’s office to learn more about orthodontic treatment, then you need to know the differences between Invisalign and braces.
- 5. You probably have seen Invisalign advertised on television because these clear aligners are the newest, fastest and easiest way to straighten mild malocclusions of the teeth.
- 6. In the past, many individuals avoided orthodontic treatment unless they had major problems such as severe overbites or large gaps between their teeth.
- 7. This was because the only type of treatment available was metallic wire and bracket braces that were easy for everyone to see and also felt uncomfortable in the mouth.
- 9. Fortunately, with Invisalign you can improve simple dental problems by shifting the front teeth into a better position to create a gorgeous smile and a stronger bite.
- 10. The most visible difference between braces and Invisalign is that you can see braces inside your mouth and other people can also see the wires or ceramic brackets.
- 11. Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment because your dentist can create the devices quickly from molds after taking medical images of your mouth and facial structure.
- 12. A computer software program is able to create approximately 25 sets of Invisalign aligners that are each made in a slightly different configuration.
- 14. When you receive your first set of Invisalign aligners, you will wear the devices for approximately two weeks and return for another evaluation from the dentist.
- 15. In some cases, adjustments are required for future aligners, especially for teenagers who grow rapidly.
- 16. The dentist will tell you to wear Invisalign aligners for 23 hours each day, and you should only remove the devices for oral health care that includes brushing and flossing.
- 17. Invisalign aligners are almost impossible to see, but a dentist may permit removal of the items for special occasions.
- 18. If you follow a dentist’s guidelines for wearing Invisalign, then your teeth will shift into the correct positions faster.
- 20. You will wear one Invisalign on your top teeth and one on your bottom teeth to move teeth slowly into better positions to reduce gaps and misalignment.
- 21. An Invisalign aligner is made of a durable plastic that will begin to show some wear and tear over the two weeks it is worn.
- 22. You feel slight pressure on your teeth as the devices push against dental surfaces.
- 23. Make sure to wear the aligners in the correct order that a dentist recommends, and if an Invisalign aligner degrades completely, then contact a dentist to learn how to deal with the situation.
- 25. While you might want to wear Invisalign aligners instead of braces, only a dentist can determine if the devices are suitable for your malocclusions.
- 26. If you have severe misalignments of your teeth, then a dentist can customize braces that are worn for a longer amount of time.
- 27. Today, there are lingual braces worn on the backs of teeth or color-matching ceramic braces that are difficult for others to see inside your mouth.
- 28. Invisalign aligners cost less than braces and you do not need to visit a family dentist’s office as often.
- 29. If you are seeking professional dental advice, it's time to call Shumway Dental Care.
