Not everyone is fortunate enough to be born with perfectly straight teeth. Many factors affect how teeth grow including genetics, thumb-sucking, taking a pacifier or bottle too long, and certain medical conditions. Some instances where teeth are slightly crooked and the jawbone is in the proper position, Chicago Invisalign may be a good alternative to metal braces. The following will discuss what to expect from this teeth aligning solution.
No Pain
Unlike metal braces that scrap, scratch, and irritate the inside of your mouth, Invisalign aligners are pain-free. They are not painful to put on or remove and they do not irritate your teeth, gums, or mouth.
No Food Restrictions
You can eat and drink anything you want when you are a good candidate for this alternative to conventional braces. This is because you can take them off long enough to eat and brush your teeth before you replace them.
No Unsightly Metal Brackets
Invisalign aligners have no metal brackets so when you smile people barely notice you have anything on your teeth at all. Part of the appeal of these aligners is that they are almost invisible.
No Long-Term Wear
Most people who are able to use the Invisalign system experience faster teeth straightening results. Instead of having to wear metal braces for two years or more, you may only wear these aligners for one year.
No Staining
Sometimes the cement used to secure metal brackets for braces discolors the teeth which is difficult to get rid of for years if ever. Invisalign requires no cement to secure the aligners to your teeth, so there is no staining.
No Tooth Care Issues
Since you can remove these aligners for short periods of time, you can brush and floss like normal without metal brackets and wires getting in the way.
Your dentist will be able to tell you if you are a good candidate for these aligners instead of metal braces. If you are able to have Chicago Invisalign for straightening your teeth, you will enjoy the comfort, freedom, and effectiveness of this system for enhancing your smile. Art of Modern Dentistry of Chicago offers the Invisalign aligner system for patients who can use them instead of conventional braces.
