Braces aren’t exciting, and most people in South Loop cringe if their dentist tells them that they’re necessary. While straight teeth are essential to prevent more issues later, you don’t have to have metal on your teeth to achieve those results. Invisalign is an alternative that uses clear aligners to straighten the teeth. They work similarly to metal braces without being a permanent fixture on the teeth for years.
Eat Whatever
One of the most significant complaints South Loop residents have with braces is that they’re limited to what they can eat. For some, the thought of no more popcorn or never eating a sticky treat for two years makes them never want braces. It’s a normal reaction because metal braces are so limiting. However, with Invisalign, you don’t have to avoid the treats or foods you love.
Easy to Remove
Another issue with braces is that they can’t be removed until the treatment is successful and complete. With invisible aligners, they are removed at night, while eating, and to brush/floss your teeth. Most dentists recommend that they stay on your teeth for about 12 hours a day to be effective, but that still means you can have them off for eating and sleeping.
No Embarrassment
Metal can’t be hidden, and while those tiny colored rubber bands became popular in the 80s and 90s to give kids a chance at a normal life, all they did was attract more unwanted attention to the fact that metal was in the mouth. With invisible aligners, they’re clear and can’t be seen by others. You can laugh and smile whenever the mood strikes without embarrassment.
The Invisalign system is innovative and helpful for those who won’t consider traditional braces and want straight teeth. Visit South & West Loop Dental in South Loop at https://swloopdental.com to learn more. Like us on our facebook page.
