The Major Benefits of Invisalign

If you are interested in straightening your teeth without a mouthful of metal braces, then Invisalign custom-made aligners may be the answer you have been looking for. The Invisalign treatment consists of clear trays or aligners that are customized for your mouth to move your teeth to the correct position gradually over time. Your aligners are switched out every few weeks to move your teeth into their new position. It is one of the newest major developments in dental and orthodontics offering numerous benefits to individuals who would like to straighten their teeth. 

Dr. Ghodsi saw Invisalign as an opportunity to provide his patients with yet another way to improve their smiles. As a result, Dr. Ghodsi and his team have completed the training needed to become Invisalign providers, and you won’t find better care in Las Vegas, Henderson, and North Las Vegas.

Benefits of Invisalign Aligners

The Invisalign aligners are nearly invisible and you can even take them in and out as needed. Most patients love the many benefits of Invisalign, such as having the option to take their aligners out to brush and floss their teeth, for sports, and to eat.

Improve Your Self-Confidence

The main reason people choose to correct their teeth is to improve their appearance. By improving our smiles, we feel more confident about our appearance and tend to participate in more social activities. This is especially true for younger individuals whose self-esteem is affected to a much greater degree by their appearance. 

The traditional method of straightening teeth using metal braces can make people feel self-conscious about their appearance. However, Invisalign aligners are made from clear resin to perfectly fit your teeth which makes them practically invisible. Often people won’t even notice that you are wearing them. For teenagers who are apprehensive about straightening their teeth with metal braces because of the fear of being different and of other kids making fun of them, Invisalign can help them feel more confident about straightening their teeth without the fear of being teased.

No More Uncomfortable Braces

One of the issues with traditional metal braces is the fact that they can be uncomfortable due to their sharp edges that can sometimes cause lacerations and sores to your lips and cheeks. The Invisalign removable aligners are custom-made for your teeth with smooth edges made to protect your mouth. What’s more, the fact that the aligners are custom-fitted means that your teeth will be straightened with more precision. As we have mentioned, your aligners will be replaced every few weeks in order to move your teeth into their new position until each tooth is set in its proper place. Each adjustment is made precisely so as to ensure the most comfortable sequence.

Higher Level of Dental Hygiene

Being able to maintain a proper level of dental hygiene is also one of the benefits of Invisalign removable aligners. Unlike traditional braces which trap food particles, you are able to brush and floss your teeth without any difficulty. Consequently, you can avoid issues like plaque build-up that could possibly lead to gum disease and tooth decay. You can also keep the inside of your aligner clean quite easily to prevent bacteria build-up.

Freedom to Consume Your Favourite Foods & Beverages

When you have traditional metal braces, the foods and beverages you are able to consume can be limited. On the other hand, with Invisalign, you can eat or drink normally since you are able to remove the aligners. Individuals with metal braces who eat hard or sticky food can snap off or bend their wires which is an issue you won’t have to worry about with Invisalign. You should remember, however, to brush and floss your teeth after each meal before inserting your aligners to prevent food particles from getting lodged between your teeth and the aligners.
