The one common hurdle that faces people who need braces is their looks. That dilemma led to the evolution of one of the most amazing technologies of our time, and that is Invisalign. If you are looking for Invisalign treatment in Toronto, read on .. it gets interesting.
What is Invisalign?
The people behind this amazing technology had one thought in mind .. provide braces with an acceptable appearance. Along the way, they discovered that Invisalign is better than regular braces in pretty much every way.
Invisalign treatment is based on computers. A computer generates the entire treatment plan, and gives an order to a 3D printing machine that prints a series of transparent, plastic molds called aligners. So basically, instead of the traditional metallic brackets, wires and elastics, these aligners would put pressure on the teeth, moving them to the desired location.
Why is Invisalign better than braces?
Not only did Invisalign fix the everlasting problem of the appearance, but it solved a number of problems along the way, including:
- Higher accuracy:
As stated, A computer formulates the entire treatment plan. This means incredibly accurate results, and virtually no chance for human errors. - Shorter treatment time:
The computer comes into play once again. The provided treatment time is about ¾ of the time needed for traditional braces. If you ever worn braces or knew someone who did, then you know that that is quite a significant period of time. - No cuts, bruises or ulcers:
Braces wearers usually face the very common problem of injuries caused by the brackets to the lips, cheeks and gums. With Invisalign, since there are no brackets or wires, there are no injuries. - You can remove them at will:
The aligners are plastic molds that fit the outer surface of the teeth. They are not attached to the teeth, so they can be removed when needed. This gives 2 great advantages:- Improves oral hygiene which is a complete nightmare for braces wearers.
- If you ever have a special occasion like a wedding or a graduation party, all you have to do is take them off and replace them once the event ends.
