Is There a Downside to Invisalign Versus Traditional Braces?

As Invisalign becomes increasingly popular for those seeking a less visually obtrusive way to straighten their teeth, questions have risen as to their effectiveness versus traditional braces.
Both Invisalign and traditional braces come with their own sets of advantages, and either can be an effective method for teeth straightening. For all of your teeth straightening needs, e.s.i. Healthy Dentistry can help. With a team of dedicated professionals emphasizing patient comfort, look no further than e.s.i. For the smile you deserve.
The question still remains, however, if Invisalign has downsides that can diminish their worth. In short, Invisalign is a great tool for teeth straightening, and for those considering Invisalign versus traditional braces, it is important to reach out to your dentist in order to get the best information possible.
Invisalign starts with a 3D digital scan of your teeth. The doctor can then create a digital plan for tooth movement from start to finish. Once the plan is completed, and approved, trays are ordered. Attachments are placed around your mouth on certain teeth and your first set of aligners are simply popped into place.
Invisalign’s major benefit is that it does not utilize brackets or wires, both of which are reported as common causes of discomfort among those who have braces. There are also no restrictions to the food you intake, as, unlike braces, Invisalign can be easily taken off for meals.
There is a caveat to Invisalign use, however, and that is diligence. Those who do not have regular, proper oral health habits may forget to wear their aligners every day, taking them on and off in between meals, and other beneficial (and oftentimes necessary) habits. However, if you are doing everything right, Invisalign can be a perfect, unobtrusive path to your best smile.
