In the past, you\u2019ve had one option: braces. These metal bracket and wire teeth straighteners don\u2019t look great, are uncomfortable, sometimes painful, and hard to clean. Thankfully, Invisalign clear aligners offer a way for you to straighten your teeth comfortably and discreetly. Keep reading to learn about the advantages Invisalign in Oakton has over traditional braces.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>#1: Stellar Appearance<\/h2>\n<p>The biggest advantage Invisalign clear aligners have is their appearance. These are trays that align your teeth just like braces, but they\u2019re clear. This makes it hard to notice when someone is wearing them, which means you can straighten your teeth without everyone knowing! As their name may suggest, these clear braces are almost invisible.<\/p>\n<h2>#2: Safety, Comfort, and Convenience<\/h2>\n<p>Another huge advantage patients see with Invisalign is that the trays are removeable. This means you can eat all of your favorite foods without any sticky candy or popcorn getting stuck in your braces. However, they should still be worn at least 22 hours a day, so it\u2019s recommended that you only take them out when it\u2019s time to eat.<\/p>\n<p>Braces often cut the inside of lips and cheeks, but Invisalign aligners are smooth to the touch. They fit comfortably in your mouth, and they eliminate the problem of protruding metal brackets catching the inside of your cheeks and lips.<\/p>\n<h2>#3: Length of Treatment<\/h2>\n<p>On average, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oaktondentistrybydesign.com\/blog\/2018\/09\/how-to-know-if-invisalign-in-oakton-is-right-for-you\/\">Invisalign treatment<\/a> takes a year to a year and a half. This is a much shorter treatment process than the years it can take for traditional braces to achieve desired results.<\/p>\n<h2>#4: No Surprises<\/h2>\n<p>With Invisalign, your treatment plan is completely computerized. Your dentist can show you exactly how your Invisalign treatment will shift your teeth overtime, so there will be no surprises in the movement of your smile. Traditional braces can often be a trial-and-error situation without any visualization of an end result like with clear aligners.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, Invisalign has many benefits compared to traditional braces. These clear aligners do cost more than braces on average, but they are well worth the price for a comfortable, discreet, and quickly straightened smile.<\/p>\n<p>Does it sound like you could benefit from Invisalign\u2019s many advantages?
