Invisalign vs. Braces<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
People love the look of Invisalign, yet many shoppers still opt for braces. Traditional braces and Invisalign are two popular orthodontic treatments used to straighten teeth gradually. As both are FDA-approved devices that yield stunning results, it can be hard to know which method is best.<\/p>\n
When choosing between Invisalign aligners and braces, shoppers should consider factors like the level of correction needed, age, and lifestyle. Here, we delve into everything consumers need to know to decide between Invisalign and braces.<\/p>\n

How Does Invisalign Work?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Invisalign is one brand of clear aligners, an orthodontic device that corrects crooked teeth. Clear aligners, also known as invisible braces, are custom-made mouthpieces molded from medical-grade plastic that apply pressure to teeth, guiding them to the desired position. Clear aligners are a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces.<\/p>\n
Shoppers should consider the benefits and drawbacks of both Invisalign and traditional braces to determine which one is better. Take a look at the pros and cons of clear aligners like Invisalign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Benefits of Clear Aligners<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Appearance<\/h3>\n
Unlike metal braces, clear plastic Invisalign aligners closely fit a user\u2019s teeth and are nearly invisible from a distance. A discreet style is one of the main reasons many people choose transparent aligners over braces.<\/p>\n
Comfort<\/h3>\n
Clear aligners fit flush against teeth and don\u2019t cause the cuts or discomfort that braces can. While wearers do experience some discomfort with teeth repositioning, the inside of the mouth is largely spared pain with Invisalign.<\/p>\n
Ease of Brushing and Flossing<\/h3>\n
With clear aligners, users simply remove the mouthpiece and\u00a0brush and floss<\/a>\u00a0normally. No need for a lengthy and challenging dental care process as with traditional braces.<\/p>\n
No Danger With Hard or Chewy Foods<\/h3>\n
Braces wearers should avoid hard and chewy foods, including nuts, popcorn, and bagels, to prevent damage or irritation. But because people with aligners must remove them before eating, they don\u2019t need to\u00a0 avoid these foods<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Fewer Orthodontist Visits<\/h3>\n
Some patients won\u2019t need to visit the orthodontist as frequently with aligners as with braces. While Invisalign treatments usually require a visit every four to six weeks, some online companies provide customers with clear aligners and zero orthodontist visits, although this isn\u2019t the best option for everyone. For braces treatment, customers must come into the office for every adjustment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
