Say Goodbye to Metal Mouth: 4 Freedoms You Can Enjoy with Invisalign

A lot of people view orthodontic work as a restriction. That’s only natural – standard metal braces are known to put limits on their patients. Still, orthodontics doesn’t have to limit what a patient can or can’t do. The clear aligner process happens to have its share of freedoms. Your Cumming orthodontist will gladly share them with you if you’d like. To that end, here are four major freedoms you can enjoy with Invisalign.

Freedom from Aches

It’s easy to see orthodontic treatments as painful. That said, they don’t need to be – Invisalign offers freedom from aches and discomfort.

It comes down to how the Invisalign process works. While clear aligners sometimes put pressure on your teeth, this force is usually mild. It won’t amount to severe discomfort and indicates that treatment is working. Plus, the trays won’t poke you with brackets and wires like metal braces can. To that extent, they’ll let you avoid potential tears and scratches on your gums, lips, and cheeks.

Freedom to Eat

At the same time, Invisalign won’t overly restrict your meals. It gives you the freedom to eat the foods you like as you please.

You see, Invisalign aligners are removable. Dentists don’t cement them to your teeth like metal braces. Instead, you can take them off before you eat food or drink a beverage. The only caveat is that the aligners can’t stay off too long. For treatment to be effective, you need to wear Invisalign trays for roughly 22 hours daily. Anything less will delay the straight smile you want.

Freedom to Socialize

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign won’t give you a case of “metal mouth.” That means they grant you the freedom to socialize with ease.

As you may already know, metal braces can make a patient self-conscious. They add the embarrassment of a “metal mouth” on top of one’s insecurity over crooked teeth. Thankfully, Invisalign avoids this dilemma entirely. Their clear trays let you chat with peers without any distractions. In fact, friends and family may not even know you’re wearing aligners.

Freedom to Smile Well

Lastly, Invisalign grants the freedom to smile with confidence. It works quickly and won’t prompt you to hide your grin from others.

You see, Invisalign is both effective and fast. Its trays take less time than metal braces to align your teeth and bite. In particular, most Invisalign treatments only take a year or so to finish. That rate of progress can lead to visible results in just a few months. You’ll then have something great to smile about: your much straighter teeth.

Of course, the freedoms you can enjoy with Invisalign are only a few of its perks. Talk to your dentist to find out how else treatment can benefit you.
