If you are on the fence between Invisalign and braces, you must first consider all the great benefits of Invisalign over traditional braces. Here, we'll review the benefits of the Invisalign system and how Dr. Paris Vaughn and Dr. Synthia Chowdhury, dentists at Pure Dental located in Woodbridge, VA, can help you decide if Invisalign is right for you and your smile.

So many people suffer from dental problems like overbites, underbites, teeth crowding, and gaps between teeth. A beautiful smile can give you a significant confidence boost and help you feel good. Invisalign makes it easy to straighten your teeth.

Difference Between Braces and Invisalign

What are Braces?

Like Invisalign, braces help reposition and straighten your teeth by using metal or plastic brackets, rubber bands, and wires. After dentists place braces, you will need to follow up routinely, allowing them to tighten your brackets.

Living with braces can be uncomfortable, inconvenient, and may have you hiding your smile.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is also known as invisible aligners because they are clear and eliminate many negative aspects of wearing braces. The devices align your teeth into their proper place using clear guides that fit on your teeth, seemingly unnoticed.

Benefits of Invisalign

Not only are the invisible aligners convenient and easy to clean, but Dr. Vaughn and Dr. Chowdhury, at their office located in Woodbridge, VA, can discuss the many other benefits of the Invisalign system.

You spend less time at the dentist.

Every few weeks, you switch out your aligners to the next one of the series. With braces, you are spending more time at the dentist so they can tighten your brackets. 

Easier to clean.

Traditional braces are a hassle to maintain and keep clean, especially while eating. With Invisalign, it is easy to remove your trays while you eat. Then, you brush them with toothpaste and warm water twice a day after brushing and flossing your teeth.

Fewer Office Visits

Invisalign gives you more freedom to enjoy your life while knowing your teeth are repositioning and aligning as designed. At the start of your Invisalign treatment, you will receive aligner trays for your first phase of therapy and the subsequent steps. Accepting your trays in advance allows you to move to the next stage without another office visit.

More Comfortable

Braces work by tightening the brackets and wires, causing tension, and pulls your teeth into their proper position. This tension and the metal brackets scraping against the inside surfaces of your mouth cause discomfort. Invisalign decreases the level of pain, especially at your tongue, cheek, and gums.

Other Benefits of Invisalign

The other benefits of Invisalign include:

• Look better
• Safe for children, adolescents, and adults
• Better than other aligners
