Invisalign Braces by Cosmetic Dentist Dr J Basrai

About Invisalign Braces

Invisalign braces allow adults and young people to adjust the alignment of their teeth without many of the drawbacks associated with traditional braces. Aside from the obvious appeal of not having to wear standard braces, these devices do have some other benefits over the standard method of straightening the teeth than do their traditional metal wire cousins. Many of these advantages are related to comfort, both psychological and physical. For young people, especially, getting braces can be one of the most socially-awkward experiences of their lives. Invisalign braces are a way to reduce this type of discomfort.

Misaligned teeth cause more than a crooked smile. Over time, they can develop into other problems such as jaw pain and issues which are far more than cosmetic. Even though this is the case, many individuals would rather deal with the physical and cosmetic issues of very crooked teeth than go through the hassle of having braces installed. This is understandable given the fact that braces can be extremely uncomfortable, hard to clean and cosmetically unpleasant. Invisalign is designed to address many of these issues and to offer something of an alternative to the traditional braces installed by dentists.

These devices are custom made from an impression of the patient’s teeth. Once the Invisalign braces are manufactured, the patient simply slides them into place. They can be removed when needed which is a significant advantage in many regards, particularly where hygiene is concerned. It also allows patients to avoid the dietary restrictions that accompany having traditional metal corrective braces installed. For adults, especially, being able to remove the braces is a significant social advantage. While it’s reasonable for a child to expect that no one will really notice if they’re wearing braces, adults have a different social situation altogether.

Invisalign braces are also more comfortable than traditional braces, especially during installation and removal. The absence of a traditional dental procedure being required to install these devices means less time in the chair which is generally something upon which most people tend to look favorably. The devices are essentially designed to be the most pain and hassle-free way of realigning one’s teeth. The devices may not be adequate for all issues related to straightening the teeth and only a dentist can determine if they’re the right choice. When they are an option, however, they can persuade even adults to finally fix their smile.
