What kind of lifestyle changes will I need to make if I have Invisalign?
Gaining the smiles of your dreams comes with effort and can often be a daunting thought. If you plan to go through orthodontic treatment then the metal wires, brackets, continuous adjustments, and everything else that comes along with traditional braces can often be off-putting. It can also bring back feelings of discomfort and thoughts of awkward teenage years spent hiding your smile.
Fortunately, there are more discreet ways you can gain that smile of your dreams, however, there is still effort involved. The discreteness and ease of wearing Invisalign, have made it one of the most sought-after forms of orthodontic treatment today. Let’s take a look at just why Invisalign is so great and how it can easily fit into your busy lifestyle...
Invisalign: Why So Popular and Why So Great?
Invisalign consists of a series of clear, comfortable aligners made from flexible, medical-grade plastic, which work to straighten your teeth gradually, gently moving them into the desired position with every new aligner issued.
Invisalign is a popular choice when it comes to orthodontic treatment, mainly because of its highly discreet nature in straightening your teeth, where many people will barely notice you wearing them, and unlike other forms of braces, they don’t affect what you eat or drink. Invisalign is also a much less painful way of gaining a straighter smile in comparison to traditional metal braces.
What Benefits Can You Expect from Invisalign?
The main benefit of Invisalign is that you can expect very minimal impact on your daily life, which here at your trusted orthodontist in Manchester, we think is a big decision-making factor.
Other benefits of Invisalign include:
● Discreteness – Invisalign is almost invisible allowing you to smile confidently with no impact on self-consciousness.
● Removability – diet is not affected as you take Invisalign out to eat and it also helps keep your dental hygiene in top condition.
● Comfort – the smooth, comfortable aligners eliminate irritation and discomfort and require fewer orthodontic check-ups.
● Versatility - treats a wide range of orthodontic issues, from minor spacing and
crowding to more complex cases.
So, What Lifestyle Changes Will You Need to Make?
The main benefit to Invisalign is that it can easily fit into your lifestyle, causing minimal disruption to your daily routine. If good oral hygiene is maintained in the form of brushing twice daily, flossing, keeping aligners clean and wearing them for a minimum of 22 hours a day, the introduction of Invisalign into your life should be a breeze. Invisalign offers:
● No Impact on Diet - Invisalign aligners can be removed during meals, allowing you to enjoy all your favourite foods without restrictions.
● Ease of Keeping up with Oral Hygiene – being able to remove your aligners to
brush and floss your teeth thoroughly reduces the risk of plaque build-up and
cavities.
● No Disruption to Sports and Activities – ability to remove your aligners during
physical activities and reinsert them afterward ensuring you can continue pursuing
your passions without interference.
● Options When it Comes to Special Occasions - whether it's a wedding, job
interview, or any event where you want to look your best, you can remove your
Invisalign aligners for a few hours without affecting your treatment progress.
● Comfort and Confidence - the comfort and discreet appearance of Invisalign
aligners help to boost your confidence throughout your treatment journey.
