5 Reasons to Consider Invisalign

If your dentist recommends a procedure to straighten your teeth, you have a couple of options. The two most common options are traditional metal braces and Invisalign clear aligner trays. There are several reasons for considering Invisalign. After a thorough exam, Dr. Samra and Dr. Vincelette of SV Orthodontics in Toronto, Ontario, will be able to determine if Invisalign aligners are right for you.

1. Works for both teens and adults – Invisalign aligner trays are a great choice for both teens and adults, especially if they live an active lifestyle. The aligners are practically invisible and can be worn throughout the day without people noticing them. Because each tray is only used for a short period of time before transitioning to the next, the risk of damaging them is minimal. Teens and adults alike can enjoy the convenience that clear aligner trays offer.
2. Remove as needed – Invisalign clear aligner trays can be removed throughout the day so the patient can eat and perform their daily hygiene routine. While it is recommended that the trays remain in place as much as possible, you can remove them for two to three hours a day without disrupting the treatment plan.  
3. Easy to keep clean – Invisalign clear aligner trays are easy to keep clean. When you remove the trays, place them in a small container of warm water with a denture-cleaning tablet. If you see any signs of debris, you can use a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush any food that may be present. Before you put the trays back in your mouth, brush and floss your teeth thoroughly to get rid of any bits of food or debris that may be stuck between your teeth.
4. Individualized treatment plans—Invisalign treatment plans are unique to each patient. The rate of movement will vary from patient to patient, which means the number of trays per patient will also vary. Treatment plans are based on how much movement is needed to complete the goals of treatment. Your orthodontist will closely monitor your progress to ensure everything is progressing according to the plan.
5. Safe and effective – Invisalign aligner trays are safe to use and won’t damage the surface of your teeth. When used according to the schedule included in the treatment plan, the aligners will effectively straighten your teeth and provide you with a smile you can be proud of. It’s important to follow your orthodontists’ instructions as closely as possible to achieve the desired results.
