A crooked smile may not make you happy when you see it in the mirror, but if all you know are traditional metal braces, then you might think the problem is better than the solution. But the good news is that you now have an alternative for achieving the smile of your dream: the transparent aligners system offered by Invisalign®.
At Sullivan Dental Partners, we proudly offer Invisalign in Brentwood, TN. For patients who dislike the idea of metal wires and brackets in their mouths, these aligners are a godsend. Here are three significant benefits when choosing Invisalign over the traditional route.
1 – Better Oral Hygiene with Invisalign
Conventional braces make at-home oral care extremely difficult. The brackets get in the way of your toothbrush, and the wires make mincemeat of floss. As a result, many patients with traditional braces often invest in additional dental technology like water flossers to keep tooth decay and cavities at bay.
With Invisalign, you brush and floss as you always have because your aligner doesn't get in the way. Then, you remove it and care for your teeth with your usual routine.
2 – They Virtually Disappear When You Wear Them
If you're a teenager or an adult who is not thrilled about the whole world staring at your teeth, Invisalign is a good choice. Our exclusive, BPA-free materials remain crystal clear so that even as you straighten your smile, you can rest assured your aligner is hardly visible to anyone around you.
3 – You Can Take Them Out to Eat
With traditional braces, the list of foods you can't eat is a mile long, including healthy foods like apples, carrots, and other raw vegetables and hard nuts like almonds. But these restrictions no longer apply since you remove your aligners when you eat. As a result, you may continue enjoying a full range of foods during your treatment.
Just be sure to rinse your teeth before putting your aligner back in.
