Metal brackets vs Invisalign

There is nothing like a beautifully white smile. However, the road to getting one can be a bit awkward and not so pretty! Traditional metal braces, although help align your teeth, also come with months to even years of metal in your mouth. So we say, out with metal and in with plastic! Invisalign Plastic Aligners that is!

For years, Invisalign® has been changing the way people straighten their teeth and create beautiful smiles! What is Invisalign®? Its a modern approach to straightening teeth – in which you receive a custom-made series of clear aligners created just for you! Invisalign® is made of plastic, which is very comfortable and virtually invisible! The braces pop on and off easily, since there are no metal brackets as done with traditional braces. Every two weeks, you use a new set of aligners, and over time will gently shift your teeth based on the way your dentist or orthodontist plans for you.

So why choose Plastic over Metal? Not only does Invisalign® provide an easy to use, non-evasive approach to aligning teeth, but recently they announced the addition of a new line of aligners – the Invisalign G5. These aligners are specifically for people whom have difficult alignment issues such as severe misalignment, crossbite, underbite or overbite.

Orthodontists and dentists can now help more people enjoy having a beautiful smile through the benefits of straightening their teeth without the discomfort or embarrassment often associated with metal (or fixed) braces. The new Invisalign® aligners are available for both adults and teens, and can help treat difficult cases or other common orthodontic conditions.

Are you suffering from a more difficult alignment in your teeth, such as crossbite, underbite or overbite, then the new Invisalign® aligners may be perfect for you!
