Invisalign clear aligners are proving to be the better choice for people who need to correct the alignment of their teeth but would have a difficult time with traditional metal braces. Dr. Chitra Tiruveedula of Advanced Dental in Aliso Viejo, California, encourages her patients to try clear teeth aligners if they don’t feel comfortable wearing metal braces. Students, athletes, and professionals who speak in public can wear Invisalign aligner trays and still perform all their normal activities confidently. Following are the benefits of using Invisalign for teeth straightening.
- Realigns your teeth – Invisalign trays straighten and realign your teeth. Crooked teeth can throw off the alignment of your jaws. This can cause irregular wear and tear on the surface of your teeth. Chewing your food can be difficult as well. The longer your teeth are out of alignment, the more stress will be placed on your jaw joints. Realigning your teeth and jaw reduces the pressure and can eliminate jaw pain and discomfort.
- Improves your smile—Crooked teeth can impact your self-confidence. Wearing clear aligners will gradually draw your teeth back into place. Properly aligned teeth improve your smile and restore your self-confidence. You won’t have to put your hand over your mouth when you laugh or speak. You will be more relaxed when you speak and less likely to shy away from a conversation. It’s time to show off your beautiful smile.
- Improves form and function – Poorly aligned teeth don’t function efficiently. Your food is not broken down as thoroughly when your top and bottom teeth aren’t properly lined up. It may also impact how well you speak, making pronouncing certain letters or sounds difficult. Clear aligners restore natural form and function. They can remove gaps where food can become trapped and prevent chipping and cracking in spots where teeth are crammed together.
- Easy to remove – Clear aligner trays are incredibly easy to remove. When it’s time to eat or brush your teeth, you simply take them out and snap them back in when you’re done. You can leave the trays out for an hour or two each day, giving you the freedom to enjoy your favorite foods. Once you’ve finished eating, rinse your mouth with warm water and replace your aligners. Take your aligners out if you are spending time with your friends or speaking in public.
- Makes cleaning your teeth a snap – Being able to take the trays out every day to properly clean your teeth ensures no food particles will be trapped in gaps or spaces. Replace the aligners and go about your day. At night, remove the aligners and brush and floss your teeth to eliminate any excess bacteria that have built up throughout the day.
