Our smile is what makes us unique and is often considered to be the most beautiful thing a person can wear.
Not only is it a way of communicating joy and pleasure, but it puts those around us at ease and is one of the most effective ways of demonstrating trustworthiness and a friendly demeanour.
But for some of us, a few things stand in the way of our smile. Some dislike their smile because of the colour of their teeth, while others are put off by wonky teeth and an underlying issue of malocclusion.
This blog is for those who fall into the latter category, highlighting 3 of the top reasons to consider Invisalign in Essex as a treatment solution for a wonky or misaligned smile.
It is dentist-led
An overwhelming percentage of people dislike going to the dentist – but that doesn’t mean we don’t trust their judgement and their training. As such, any treatment which is condoned by and even led by dentists can be considered both safe and reliable – with Invisalign not just recommended but actively encouraged by many dentists.
Combining the results of traditional fixed braces with a more flexible and accessible process, Invisalign is inducted by your dentist with regular check-ups throughout the treatment process to monitor the results and ensure that the teeth are moving as expected.
It facilitates a normal lifestyle
Invisalign is, by design, an invisible form of aligning treatment. What this means is that each of the aligners the client is presented with during their treatment process is transparent and designed to fit tightly against their teeth, minimising visibility when talking, smiling, and going about their daily routine.
From a client perspective, when you compare this with fixed and traditional braces which are incredibly invasive inside your mouth and in your reflection, the benefits of this are clear.
What’s more, because Invisalign’s aligners are designed to be removed for cleaning and maintaining oral hygiene, they are also intrinsically versatile and practical for clients. Provided the aligner is worn for as much of the day as possible, ideally 22 hours per day to maximise the results, the aligner can be removed for eating and other functional tasks.
It’s comfortable to wear without impacting the results
Finally, another comparison against the traditional fixed brace – except this time we’re considering the comfort and experience of wearing the brace vs. an aligner.
Because aligners are made to fit against your teeth as a perfectly moulded structure, they do not cause any discomfort. Conversely, the boxes which are fixed to the teeth and the wire which connects these boxes can all dig into the gums and inside of the lips, making traditional braces an uncomfortable fixture which, in some cases, has to remain in place for over a year.
What all of this confirms is that there’s a reason why Invisalign is so popular – and it has to do with both the client experience and comfort, as well as the potency of the results. Not only is Invisalign a convenient solution to a wonky smile but it is also flexible and can be integrated into your everyday routine with ease.
