What Are the Pros and Cons of Invisalign Braces?

Invisalign is significantly less noticeable
than traditional braces. Due to the removable nature of Invisalign, patients
also experience greater convenience, especially when eating and cleaning their
teeth. However, they do rely on patient compliance and only work when they are
worn.

Invisalign and Braces are orthodontic treatments which help with teeth straightening. Most patients do prefer Invisalign. Both method of treatments would ultimately get you the same result however the process is different, most patients prefer Invisalign because there is no metal involved and its practically invisible therefor helping in the patient not feeling self conscious about their smile while they undergo treatment.  

So what are the pros and cons of invisalign Braces.  First thing that I always have to make sure that I talk to my patients
about is compliance. If you can honestly
say to yourself that you will be the type of patient that wear the aligners
cause they are removable these are clear wonderful aligners cause you can’t see
them so that’s a pro. But the con is
that they are removable if your not the type of patient who will be compliant
with that then invisalign may not be for you and traditional braces that are
fixed on your teeth maybe the better option. As far as expense truthfully the expenses either pretty close to the
same as regular orthodontic treatment with braces and sometimes even less. As far as time that also depends on the
patient’s compliance. Yet usual timing
depending on the complexity of the case is usually about 12-18 months.
