When it comes to orthodontic procedures which are meant to correct misaligned teeth in order to attain a proper occlusion the use of braces is the number one choice amongst orthodontists and patients alike. The fact that metallic braces are the "weapon of choice" does not necessarily mean that they are the best tools for the job, as many people may remember metal braces can have several drawbacks, they are certainly not very aesthetic, they are hard to clean and taking them off is not that easy.

Luckily for most teenagers and adults who are required to use braces, there is another solution which offers the same orthodontic benefits that metallic braces provide without being a cosmetic hindrance, this option is called Invisalign. As the name indicates, Invisalign are custom-made translucent aligners which should not require a metallic contraptions in order to apply the right pressure and change the position your teeth are in, let's take a look at some of the benefits of this type of aligner provide.

Virtually Invisible

One of the most common concerns among teenagers and adults who care about their physical appearance is that braces can certainly get in the way of their beautiful smile and as we have already said, metallic braces are very noticeable. Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible so no one will actually notice that you're wearing them if you don't tell them.

Can be Easily Removed

Whenever you need to eat, brush or floss your teeth you are able to do so because Invisalign aligners are very easy to remove thus they do not get in the way of your meals and/or oral hygiene.

They Won't Affect Your Speech

Unlike metal braces these invisible aligners are not as thick so they won't get in the way when it comes to speaking clearly, this is obviously a major plus because for the most part people to start using metallic braces have to wait a certain amount of time (adjustment period) in order to get used to these thick contraptions in order to start speaking clearly once again.
