For many patients, “braces” aren’t exactly synonymous with “freedom.” After all, traditional orthodontics requires changes to your diet, oral hygiene regimen, and more. Thankfully, that’s not the case with Invisalign; it is well-known for being significantly more hassle-free! To learn why, keep reading for four Invisalign freedoms you’ll love.
Freedom to Smile with Complete Confidence
While traditional braces deliver beautiful results, patients often find it difficult to smile confidently with metal brackets and wires. Fortunately, Invisalign is equally as effective and virtually undetectable! This allows you to smile with complete confidence whether you’re taking a selfie, a family photo, or your new driver’s license.
Freedom to Eat Whatever You’d Like
Another perk of Invisalign: you don’t have to change your diet! Since whole apples, popcorn, and hard pretzels all have the potential to break a bracket or snap a wire, they are off-limits with traditional braces. However, Invisalign’s clear aligners are completely removable. As a result, all you have to do is take them out and store them safely before you eat, then you can indulge in all of your favorites!
Freedom to Plan
With metal braces, adjustment appointments every four weeks or so are essential. As you can imagine, these frequent visits to your dentist’s office can quickly pack your calendar. The good news is that Invisalign appointments are much more spread out. That means more time to plan outings with friends, get-togethers with family, trips out of town, and the like!
Freedom from Complicated Oral Hygiene Regimens
It’s no secret that flossing with metal brackets and wires can be quite a chore. In fact, they even sell special tools, like pre-threaded flossers and oral irrigators, which are recommended to patients struggling with this step of their oral hygiene routine. Don’t worry – you won’t need any additional tools or steps with Invisalign. In fact, it’s simple: remove your aligners and floss as usual!
In short, you can enjoy your life to the fullest and straighten your teeth simultaneously with Invisalign!
