Invisible Braces for Discreet Teeth Straightening

The appearance of the teeth plays a huge role in the overall aesthetics and function of a smile. Crooked teeth can instantly make a smile look unattractive, no matter how bright those teeth are, especially if the misaligned teeth can easily be seen when the mouth is opened. Teeth that are crooked are also much harder to clean compared to properly-aligned teeth, making them more susceptible to dental problems such as tooth decay and gum problems. Even the proper pronunciation of words can be difficult to manage with crooked teeth, depending on their location inside the mouth.

Orthodontics treatments work on crooked teeth problems by moving the teeth into their proper alignment. As the teeth are straightened, the function and aesthetics of the smile are improved. However, most adults may not look forward to having their teeth straightened by an orthodontic treatment because of the obvious metal parts that come with dental braces. The metal wires and brackets can be a source of embarrassment for older orthodontic patients, and can also be a turn-off for many, as they are usually uncomfortable to wear.

Invisible braces offer an ideal solution for those who wish to have their crooked teeth straightened, in a very discreet manner. This type of braces use plastic aligners that are clear in appearance, which make them almost invisible to others. The orthodontic treatment can be completed in a discreet manner, without the need to use obvious metal parts. The aligners gently but effectively move the crooked teeth into a straighter position to achieve proper teeth alignment.

Plastic aligners used in invisible braces are more comfortable to wear as compared to metal wires and brackets. The aligners are made with rounded and smooth parts that do not cut into the soft inner mouth parts. The orthodontic treatment can proceed with very minimal to zero discomfort, which cannot be said with metal braces that irritate the inside of the mouth and cause mouth sores. Invisible braces are also very convenient to use, because they can be removed whenever there is a need to do so. The aligners can be removed before eating, so that the orthodontic appliance will not interfere with chewing and biting food. Good oral health is also easier to maintain with the use of invisible braces as the invisible aligners can easily be removed before brushing the teeth; this way, all the parts of the mouth and the teeth can be cleaned thoroughly, which may not be the case while using conventional metal braces to straighten the teeth.
