Invisalign braces are non invasive and very effective. Unlike traditional visible braces teeth which are bonded to the teeth, Invisalign aligners can remove at mealtime or when you need to brush your teeth. That means, the success of your Invisalign treatment depends greatly on making sure that the aligners stay in your mouth the rest of the time, and that includes during sleep.

Now the compliance factor is one thing that should be considered when choosing Invisalign over traditional braces. Adults who socialize a lot or teens who find hidden braces for teeth or clear aligners that stick out, embarrassing and cumbersome are good candidates for Invisalign.

Aesthetic standpoint aside, there is also less risk of developing cavities with Invisalign, than with non removable traditional braces. This is because with the later, food practices may get stuck in the wires or brackets. This is especially problematic for teens who often neglect to brush their teeth.

Moreover, Invisalign doesn't put restrictions on your diet unlike conventional aligners wherein sticky and hard foods are not applicable. So you can practically anything you like, just make sure to remove your Invisalign aligners and put them back in after you have cleaned your mouth thoroughly.

Also metal wires and brackets may cause irritation to the inside of the lips, cheeks and tongue. So problems are generally nonexistent with Invisalign. Having the plastic trays in your mouth does take some getting used to, but after a few days, you can forget they are even there.

Usually orthodontists perform cosmetic dentistry on jaw that is in good health, rather than diseased teeth. While these are installed, this is very necessary to brush more frequently than normal. Because these appliances catch food and hide plaque they need to be cleaned often. At home it is necessary to floss and especially between and around the wires and anchors.

In addition, during the day a person should brush after snacks and meals to be sure that nothing is caught in a spot where it can cause damage. This is worth considering having more frequent dental appointments. It can be hard to get plaque and debris out of all the nooks and crannies that are around braces.

By setting up slightly more frequent orthodontist check-up, say three times or four times a year rather than twice, a patient can have a professional completely clear out any sort of problem and address potential sites of decay. This can prevent tooth loss and gum disease. It may not be suitable for all people but an electric toothbrush helps. So the vibration helps dislodge stubborn particles and gets deep between and under braces.
