Why Invisalign is a Better Treatment Over Metal Braces

Invisalign has been around for decades and has become a household name. With the popularity of social media, the clear aligners revolution has grown exponentially.
It's important to understand why Invisalign is a better treatment over metal braces. Here is a breakdown some of the major points:

1. Appearance: Invisalign is clear, making them almost undetectable.  They are far more attractive than the unsightly metal braces.

2. First factor: aligners are made of smooth plastic called smart trak, which are more comfortable  than metal braces. Metal braces oftentimes cause irritation to the gums and cheeks

3. Easily Removed: Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to eat and drink when needed. You can brush and floss  your teeth normally.

4. Convenience: Invisalign appointments are typically 5–12 weeks apart, which is far less frequent than traditional braces visits.

5. Better dental hygiene: Studies have shown that Invisalign causes fewer cavities than metal braces. Because the aligners are removable, patients do not have to worry about food getting caught in the brackets like traditional metal braces. This means fewer cavities and better gum health overall.
