At the end of an orthodontic treatment, patients know they can expect to see a straighter, more attractive smile in the mirror. After fixing alignment flaws, you can also correct issues that affect your bite while correcting problems with overlaps that affect your ability to keep your smile clean. Thanks to clear aligners like Invisalign, patients can enjoy these benefits of treatment without relying on fixed metal braces. At our Virginia Beach, VA dentist’s office, we can speak with you about the benefits of correcting alignment flaws, as well as what to expect from Invisalign treatment.
1. You Can Start Fixing Conspicuous Smile Flaws
While there is more to orthodontic work than just making your smile more attractive, you really can feel more confident when you have straightened teeth. Better smile alignment improves your smile symmetry, and it also helps you correct conspicuous problems with gaps or overlaps that may have made you uncomfortable with the way you look. While some cosmetic dental procedures, like the placing of porcelain veneers, can sometimes help with these flaws, it may be necessary to move forward with orthodontic treatment to address your concerns.
2. You Can Wear Your Aligners Without Drawing Unwanted Attention
Having clear aligners instead of braces that consist of brackets and wires means enjoying a more discreet treatment. Once your appliances are in place, they are hard for others to take note of, which means you can wear them in social and professional environments without wondering how they affect others’ perceptions of you. This also means that any photos taken of you during your adjustment will be free of noticeable braces!
3. You Can Continue To Eat And Clean Your Teeth Without Worrying Your Aligners Will Interfere
One advantage to choosing Invisalign over traditional braces concerns what will NOT change during your adjustment. Throughout the time you spend fixing your smile with Invisalign, you will not have to worry about appliances being in the way when you need to eat, or when you are cleaning your teeth. Because they can be easily removed, you can have less difficulty performing these tasks. While effective at fixing cosmetic and oral health concerns, metal braces leave some patients frustrated due to their potential interference with these tasks.
