How does Invisalign compare to braces?

Many prospective clients wonder what the advantage of Invisalign versus braces is?

With regular braces, you may experience some pain, discomfort, mouth sores or injuries caused by the braces and wires. Tooth decay, plaque buildup or tooth discoloration can also occur from inadequate brushing and flossing.

One of the biggest challenges of having braces is removing all the food that gets trapped in the brackets and wires. This can often lead to plaque buildup and eventually tooth decay. With Invisalign, the aligners are removable, so it’s easy to continue brushing and flossing your teeth the way you normally do.

With Invisalign, the aligner trays are not only smooth and comfortable to wear, but they're also removable. That means you can continue doing all the things you normally would, from brushing and flossing, to eating whatever you like. With other devices, brushing and flossing properly can often take up to 30 minutes!

Special occasion coming up? No problem - just take your aligners out for that time and pop them back in when you're ready. Of course, even when you're wearing them, most people won't even know you're going through treatment, because they are virtually invisible!

Invisalign is also ideal for your busy schedule, with fewer Invisalign dentist visits required (approximately one every six weeks).
