1. Freedom From Metal Orthodontic Braces
One of the greatest advantages to using aligner therapy vs standard metal braces involves the aspect of visibility. Wearing braces that are transparent, removable and virtually invisible to see is a positive alternative for teens and adults wanting discretion when undergoing orthodontic treatment.
2. Being Able To Eat What You Want
A problem associated with traditional braces is the limitations on what you can and cannot eat. Many foods we enjoyed and took for granted before having braces are not able to be eaten, as many hard foods can cause breaking and damage to the braces. If you opt for aligner therapy, you can eat what you want and still get straight teeth. You no longer need to be concerned about food breaking brackets. Invisalign, SureSmile and ClearCorrect aligners are removable! As a result, to continue enjoying meal times during your aligner therapy you simply remove your aligner trays prior to indulging.
3. Spending More Time Outside Of The Dentist’s Office
As much as we enjoy seeing our patients, we value your time. Aligner therapy allows for longer time between follow-up appointments, every four to six weeks compared to every two weeks with wire braces.
4. Invisalign, SureSmile and ClearCorrect Costs
Another benefit to using Invisalign braces is their cost-effective element. While the cost of aligner therapy does vary, they can result in significant cost savings when compared to their traditional counterparts. As aligner therapy offers a removable option, breakage, repair and adjustments are minimal, resulting in less appointments. In fact, upon beginning your Invisalign treatment you will be fitted with a series of advanced clear aligners designed to slowly shift your teeth throughout the course of your treatment until they’ve reached the optimal position. Upon your check-ups, every four to six weeks, the Chagger Dental team will assess your teeth’s progress and determine when you are ready for your aligner changes.
5. Easy Maintenance
Wire braces require a high maintenance oral care routine of specialized brushing and flossing to keep them clean. Invisalign, SureSmile and ClearCorrect are not adhered directly to your teeth. They are simply a series of clear trays that are designed specifically for your mouth using align technology. These advanced clear aligners can be removed for easy cleaning. You simply wear your aligners throughout the day and remove them for eating, sleeping and your at home oral hygiene routine. The option to remove them for brushing and flossing makes maintenance easy. No longer are you worried about navigating the wires of traditional braces, you can continue to brush with simplicity.
