There is more than one way to straighten teeth. In the past, an orthodontist measured the mouth and straightened the teeth with metal braces that required frequent and often painful adjustments.
Considered a rite of youth, braces were a reality for many teenagers who wanted to have straight and beautiful teeth. All of that changed with the invention of Invisalign.
The technology makes use of clear trays that are generated by a computer. Each tray is worn for a period of two weeks and then replaced with a change-out. Each tray is engineered to prevent teeth from shifting back into position and accomplish the purpose as quickly as possible.
The best part of Invisalign is that the trays are made from clear materials so no one will ever have to know that you are wearing them. Teenagers are especially vulnerable to teasing and this product eliminates that from the picture. Adults like to wear them for the same reason. Many people are choosing to straighten their teeth as adults because they no longer have to feel self-conscious in the workplace.
People who choose Invisalign experience no difficulties with speech. The rubber bands and metal parts on brackets are famous for making both eating and speech a difficult process. They are very comfortable to wear and it is easy to maintain good dental hygiene when using these devices.
Having straight teeth is important for many reasons. They boost self-confidence and eliminate problems with the bite. If your teeth fit the bill for straightening with Invisalign, you will find yourself surprised by how easy the process is and how little they affect your lifestyle.
