Invisalign Braces as a Holistic Alternative for Straighter Teeth

Because Junction Family Dental in Toronto is a biological dentistry that takes the wholistic approach to our patients’ oral care, we consider the whole body when looking to restore your smiles as well. This is what makes our dental clinic love Invisalign braces that much more. Let’s talk about the holistic benefits of choosing Invisalign to transform your teeth into a straighter, more gorgeous smile!

Because we look at the whole body equation towards oral care, we do need to consider the stress that comes from multiple trips to the dental office to get wires tightened constantly. The convenience aspect of providing Invisalign replacements every couple weeks without having to constantly go to the dental office for tightening provides a huge mental/ stress-free benefit that we love for our patients as a wholistic dental clinic.

Many people aren’t aware that they may have a metal allergy. This becomes an obvious problem with traditional metal braces that may cause a myriad of problems to the mouth and body. Invisalign’s plastic aligners are a hypo-allergenic option that takes metal sensitivities/ reactions out of the picture. We can also avoid the discomfort that comes from metal wires poking the inside of your mouth, which no one enjoys!

A holistic benefit our dentistry considers is significantly reducing the harmful effects of bacterial infections through Invisalign’s removable functionality. Metal wired braces make it very difficult to floss and brush teeth. Food particles get lodged in the wires and stuck in areas that are not easily reached when cleaning. These food particles create plaque, which have the potential to cause oral bacterial infections. We love how easily our patients are able to properly brush and floss while straightening their teeth with Invisalign because they simply can be removed.

Another holistic benefit of being a removable aligner, Invisalign braces allows our patients to maintain proper chewing mechanisms, which are important for the assimilation of nutrients that your body needs. It is common for people to stop eating normally because it doesn’t feel comfortable for them to eat certain foods with their wired braces. During your eating window, Invisalign braces are easily removed, which allows eating and chewing habits to remain the same. Our wholistic approach to your oral care and overall health make this an incredible benefit of Invisalign.

Last but not least, a clear holistic benefit to Invisalign aligners is the psychological benefit of not having to worry about the insecurity/ embarrassment of one’s appearance that can come with wearing very noticeable traditional wired braces. The negative effects of this stress can include anxiety and depression in some individuals. As a wholistic dental clinic, this is something we are happy to avoid by restoring your beautiful smiles, while remaining barely noticeable to your appearance!
