Invisalign in Winnipeg

The Positives and Negatives of Invisalign

Positives

• Align at Home – If you were to go the traditional braces route, you would find yourself making regular appointments at the orthodontist to have your braces tightened and checked on. When you straighten with Invisalign, you tighten your teeth using trays you already have at home, given to you at a single appointment by your dentist. You will still need to visit your dentist a few times, but it will be far less in comparison.
• No Need to Change Your Diet or Oral Hygiene – With Invisalign trays you can remove the trays when you need to eat, drink, or give your teeth a good cleaning. This makes it much easier to maintain the health of your teeth throughout treatment.
• Clear Appearance – Probably one of the greatest benefits to Invisalign is the clear aligners. It will be very difficult for anyone to know you have been correcting your smile until it is all complete – When you have traditional braces, it can bring about concern when playing your favorite sport. Will a mouthguard be enough? What happens if a wire comes loose? With Invisalign, you will not need to worry about any of these issues. A mouthguard will suffice and there will be no concerns over breaking your aligners during rough activities.

Negatives

• Too Easy to Remove – When you have traditional braces put in place, there is no opportunity to have them removed for food, a break, or cleaning. They will constantly be straightening. With Invisalign, it can be very easy to remove the aligners for a break from any throbbing or to forget to put them back in after eating.
