Invisalign
Invisalign is a more contemporary and cutting-edge method of straightening the teeth
than braces. Wearing translucent plastic trays that are customized to match your
mouth’s imprints is part of the procedure.
The majority of the day and night are spent wearing the Invisalign trays. Throughout the
process, users get new, tighter trays every six weeks.
Braces
The more typical method of straightening teeth involves braces. Braces are made up of
brackets made of metal or ceramic that are adhered to the teeth. Each month
throughout the treatment, a wire is inserted into the brackets to tighten the braces.
Every orthodontic procedure involves applying pressure to the teeth in order to move
them gradually. However, this is basically the last place where Invisalign and traditional
braces have anything in common.
Invisalign aligners are more difficult to see than metal braces.
With traditional braces, brackets are bonded to each tooth and a wire connects them.
On the other hand, Invisalign uses a set of replaceable, transparent plastic aligners that
firmly cover the teeth.
Aligners are also referred to as “invisible braces” since they are so hard to see. It is
simpler to clean your teeth during therapy because they can be removed.
Treatment times vary depending on your individual circumstances, however Invisalign
treatment often goes more quickly for the majority of orthodontic diagnoses. Instead of
the individual tooth movement achieved with braces, Invisalign aligners apply an overall
force to the teeth.
This all-encompassing power can allow for quicker movement, which will speed up the
process of correcting your grin. Most Invisalign cases can be resolved in 12 to 18
months, and some milder instances can be resolved in as little as 6 months.
Each case is different, therefore your orthodontist will be able to estimate how long your
particular treatment, whether it involves braces or Invisalign aligners, will take.
Regardless of the course of treatment you choose, maintaining good eating and
drinking habits as well as consistent brushing and flossing will help you stay on track.
To ensure the effectiveness of your Invisalign clear aligners, wear them for 22 hours
every day.
