Invisalign and traditional metal braces are the two most popular options for patients who need to correct abnormalities in the alignment of their teeth. In Littleton, Colorado, Dr. Allison Brown of High Forest Dental offers Invisalign to her patients. 

Following are the benefits Invisalign offers to patients.

Practically invisible– Invisalign trays are clear and practically invisible. Metal braces are quite noticeable and can detract from your smile. Once an Invisalign tray is in place, you can smile and speak without worrying about how your smile will look. Many patients like the fact that there is no visible change in their smile while they are wearing the Invisalign trays.

Easy to remove– Unlike traditional braces that are securely attached to your teeth, Invisalign trays snap on and off your teeth easily. They can be removed during meals, so you don’t have to worry about food getting stuck in your braces. When you are done eating and brushing your teeth, you simply snap the tray back into place. 

Easy to keep clean– Invisalign trays are easy to keep clean. You remove them while you eat so they won’t collect food or any type of debris. You can use a soft bristle brush to eliminate anything that collects throughout the course of your day. Rinsing the tray under running water will reduce the growth of bacteria and keep your breath fresh and clean.

Eat without damaging your appliance – Patients with traditional braces often have difficulty eating certain foods. Because Invisalign trays are so easy to remove, you can eat almost anything you want without worrying about damaging your teeth or your braces. Once you’re done eating, you can brush and floss without fear of missing any food that may be hiding in your braces.

Gradual adjustments– Invisalign trays are each worn for two weeks. Each treatment plan has a specific number of trays. Most treatment plans have approximately 15 to 20 trays, depending on how much adjustment is needed. Gradual adjustments over several months’ time is less painful. It’s also easier to adjust the treatment plan if needed.

A unique treatment plan for each patient – Each patient is unique. The amount of adjustment that is needed will determine the length of the treatment plan. Some patients will need more adjustment than others. Identifying the patient’s needs will help the dentist determine every aspect of the treatment plan that is designed just for them.
