Invisalign is much like traditional orthodontia, in that it is designed to help realign teeth into a straighter and more beautiful smile. Yet it differentiates itself from traditional braces in many ways. The most obvious difference is that Invisalign uses a system of clear trays, to help slowly shift teeth into straighter alignment. These are not easily visible, making for more confidence throughout treatment.
These trays are also easily removed, allowing for comfort and confidence while eating and also improved dental hygiene. In fact, during traditional orthodontia many patients find it difficult to brush and floss their teeth properly, allowing for tartar to develop during their treatment.
Most smile issues can be addressed through Invisalign treatment, including overbites, underbites, spacing between the teeth, and many other alignment-related issues. That said, a consultation with your cosmetic dentist is the best way to determine if Invisalign will be a great option for you.
