Invisible braces offer several advantages over traditional metal or ceramic braces. They’re more comfortable, easier to handle, and they look better! Orthodontists use braces as a way to straighten misaligned teeth or improve an overbite. Before invisible braces were developed, metal braces were the most frequent choice for correcting these types of dental problems. While braces are typically affixed during late childhood, many adults can benefit from them, too. As an alternative to uncomfortable, unsightly wires, invisible braces are a great option when you’re looking for a virtually invisible way to improve teeth that are crowded, crooked, have gaps, and are generally misaligned.
Usually, getting braces is not welcomed by most people, primarily because they are not attractive and can be aggravating to deal with. Food restrictions are a major deterrent for traditional braces. Foods that are overly chewy, crunchy, hard or sticky must be avoided because they can pop the wires off the brackets of the braces; some foods can even pop a bracket clear off of a tooth. But with the option of invisible braces, it can be a more pleasant experience. There are no food restrictions – you simply take the clear aligners out when you eat and put them back in when you are finished. No more worries about food particles getting stuck in the wires, like with metal braces.
SureSmile® invisible braces, offered at
Olathe Dental Care Center, are a popular alternative to metal braces. They work to gradually straighten your teeth through wearing a series of clear, custom-fit removable aligners, with no brackets or wires. They are more comfortable inside your mouth, and you won’t have the stigma of having to wear braces in the first place because they aren’t glaringly obvious.
For many people, especially adults, the advantages of invisible braces over traditional braces are more than clear. They move your teeth without the hardware of traditional silver or tooth-colored braces and wires. Invisible braces are made of clear, firm but flexible plastic, and fit snuggly and tightly over your teeth. You will be wearing a series of clear, state-of-the-art, removable aligners that straighten your teeth out over a period of several weeks or months, depending on your particular situation – no two treatment cases are ever the same.
