Invisalign vs. traditional metal braces: Dentist in Asheville explains the effectiveness of each orthodontic treatment

The right orthodontic treatment can leave you with straighter teeth and a smile that you love. Thanks to advances in dentistry and orthodontics, you have many options for attaining the smile of your dreams. Invisalign is a series of clear aligner trays that are used to treat mild to moderately misaligned teeth and malocclusion. You will find this innovative orthodontic treatment at Family Dental Health of South Asheville in Asheville. Respected dentist Dr. Christopher Port and our team are happy to explain the effectiveness of Invisalign.

Deference Between Invisalign vs traditional metal braces, In Arden, NC

Invisalign vs. traditional metal braces

Invisalign and traditional metal braces are both effective methods for straightening the teeth and improving the bite. The treatments are also comparable in cost. However, there are several differences between the two treatments. Aesthetics, comfort, and convenience lead as the top reasons patients choose Invisalign over traditional orthodontics.

Invisalign includes a series of nearly invisible aligners that gently straighten the teeth over time. The aligners are numbered in the order they should be worn. It is likely nobody will notice patients have sought orthodontic treatments because they can remove the aligners for eating, brushing, flossing, and special events. Invisalign is ideal if patients do not want a smile full of metal brackets and wires that can irritate the cheeks and gums. In contrast, Invisalign involves trays made of a comfortable and smooth plastic material. Patients enjoy the convenience of Invisalign treatment and the ability to remove aligners when they choose. They also can count on the smiles of their dreams in 12 to 18 months, significantly less time than the typical treatment length for traditional orthodontics.

With Invisalign, there is no need to be concerned about food becoming trapped between metal wires. Patients can eat whatever they want during treatment. Traditional metal braces treatment will restrict patients from eating foods that can become stuck between the wires.

With so many benefits of Invisalign, many teenagers and adults want to learn more about the treatment. If you want to explore your candidacy for Invisalign, we would love to meet with you during a consultation. We will examine your mouth, teeth, and gums and may take x-rays to determine if Invisalign is right for you. To schedule an appointment, call our friendly team at 828 585 4049.

5 Dentist Asheville - 5 Star Review
Summer Collins
Some of the SWEETEST people I've ever met work here. I was super worried about going in because it had been a LONG time since I had a dentist appointment. They were super non-judgemental and friendly and gave me great advice. Would definitely recommend coming here if you haven't already.
