Everybody wants to be able to look great, and feel confident and comfortable with themselves—and having a great smile is one way to help!
If you have crooked teeth, or an unnatural bite, you may want to consider Invisalign invisible braces to straighten your teeth. San Antonio orthodontics specialist Dr. John Moore of Cosmetic Dental Associates recommends Invisalign to patients over metal braces and by reading the benefits below, you’ll see why.
Orthodontics without the metal
Whereas metal braces are visible to the naked eye from any distance, Invisalign braces are virtually invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without any embarrassment.
Braces for teeth that let you eat what you want
When you get metal braces, you are given a list of “no-no” foods that can break your braces if you were to eat them. Sticky foods like toffee, peanut butter, chewing gum, etc. are all forbidden along with hard foods like popcorn, jerky, corn on the cob, and apples.
Invisalign allows you to eat what you want, when you want, because the invisible aligners are removable. There are no limitations!
Less time for ortho, more time for you
With metal braces you have to visit your orthodontist pretty much every other week for adjustments.
With Invisalign orthodontic braces, your schedule is freed up, as you only have to visit Dr. Moore every four to six weeks. That means less time at the orthodontist, and more time doing what you want to do. Invisalign also takes significantly less time to straighten teeth than metal braces, so it is important to take that into account when making your choice.
Braces cost versus cost for Invisalign
The cost of braces can vary, but on average they cost more than the cost of Invisalign—though it really depends on the extent of the orthodontic changes needed. It is important to consider the benefits that Invisalign offers over braces, such as the length of time needed to wear them, and the overall comfort of the aligners.
