Unless you have trained specifically in orthodontics, navigating it can feel like a bit of a minefield. In modern dental practice, there are numerous different types of braces available and of course, unless you know the difference between type A and type B, they can all appear to be exactly the same. With more adults approaching their dental professionals for orthodontic treatment, the variety of available treatments has widened and now, many dental surgeries are able to offer more advanced and discreet braces; perfectly aligned to adult life, so to speak!
But, without a doubt, the most common and popular of all of these new adult aligners has to be, the world-famous Invisalign Glasgow. One of the most sophisticated and visibly unassuming of all the invisible braces, this aligner offers the wearer a more visually discrete appearance, allowing them to get on with the hustle and bustle of daily life, without worrying about cracking a smile.
Are there other advantages to this ever-popular brace? Read on to find out!
Better oral health
It used to be common for those wearing traditional orthodontic braces to require additional products or hygienist appointments to keep their teeth healthy. This is due to ease of plaque accumulation due to the ever-present foreign objects (the brackets and wire) in the mouth.
As this Invisalign is removable, the wearer is able to take it out to eat, drink and to brush their teeth, meaning oral health remains well maintained.
Reliable and predictable
Granted, this brace is not metal but dental professionals have found it to be a very reliable aligner for helping patients achieve a straighter smile.
Similarly, due to the associated computer software, dentists are able to better predict the movement of the teeth during through the course of having Invisalign, allowing for a better predictive model. Now that’s reassuring!
Accelerated results
Many adult patients worry that if they approach their dentists regarding any orthodontic treatment, they will be stuck wearing a brace for months, if not years.
With this brand of invisible aligner, due to the focus being on pushing the teeth rather than pulling, the treatment time is accelerated. Indeed, many adult patients complete their treatment in 6 months, meaning a straighter smile is achievable within a year.
Perfect if you want a straighter smile for a wedding, graduation or another special event.
Comfort
Another advantage of this aligner is the comfort it offers the wearer.
Due to being made of a sturdy but malleable plastic that is custom-fitted to the mouth, there are no protruding pieces of metal to rub against the inner cheek or lips. Similarly, as this aligner relies on pushing the teeth and not pulling, or tightening, there is no discomfort in the straightening process. Brilliant!
Ease of use
No fiddling, no additional brushing or excessive trips to the dentist; just pop in this brace and go.
Take it out to eat, drink or floss and that’s it; it’s totally lifestyle friendly! Just what the dentist ordered!
