You’ve probably already heard of Invisalign braces, and had plenty of people tell you just how brilliant they are. But in case you’re wondering what it is that makes this revolutionary orthodontic treatment so popular, we’ve written this post to outline 4 of the primary benefits of Invisalign braces.

1: Their ‘invisible’ appearance

The clue’s in the name! – what separates Invisalign braces from standard teeth-straightening solutions is their virtually invisible appearance. The transparent aligners are made of a see-through material and moulded to fit your teeth perfectly, meaning your Invisalign braces will be virtually invisible to onlookers. Unlike traditional metal braces, you’ll be able to smile confidently and go about your daily life without anyone knowing you are undergoing orthodontic treatment.

2: They’re comfortable

As well as drawing attention to your smile-in-progress, traditional braces can also be rather uncomfortable. Particularly after being fitted or readjusted, wearers may experiences slight aches and pains. The feel of the metal wires can take some getting used to as well. Invisalign aligners, however, are smooth and perfectly moulded to your teeth. No metal wires are required to hold them to your teeth, and their smooth surface means they’ll feel completely comfortable in your mouth.

3: Invisalign gives you a better bite

Not only can Invisalign straighten your teeth, but it can also improve your bite and alleviate any issues you may be experiencing. An overbite, for example, can make it difficult to chew and bite into some food, while an underbite can lead your teeth to wear down more quickly and create speech difficulties. Crossbites, too, can cause your teeth to chip and wear down, and even cause your gums to recede. Invisalign aligners can fix these problems by gently and effectively pushing your teeth into the correct position.

4: You’ll get beautiful results

Last but not least, Invisalign can help you achieve exactly what you were looking for in the first place – a straight, beautiful looking smile that looks attractive and oozes confidence. In order to maintain your new smile, you’ll receive retainers to wear for the period that your dentist recommends. This is to ensure that your teeth don’t move out of their new positions.
