What is Invisalign?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Humana’s statistics claim <\/span>million people in the US have braces<\/span><\/a> to correct cosmetic defects and other serious dental issues. Adults account for about 25 percent of this figure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The most troublesome downside of wearing braces is the sheer effort required to clean and maintain them properly, <\/span>and keeping your<\/span> teeth clean to prevent cavities from starting underneath the brackets<\/span>. Children often dislike the feeling of metal in their mouths <\/span>which can create cuts in the cheeks and sometimes even the tongue.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Invisalign’s purpose is to straighten teeth without using metal braces, the traditional means of addressing many oral health ailments. The treatment uses clear aligners instead of stainless steel or ceramic. The general idea is to hide the fact you\u2019re wearing a dental device.<\/span><\/p>\n

A critical difference between Invisalign and braces is that Invisalign aligners need <\/span>to be changed<\/span> every few weeks. They’re practically disposable. Braces aren’t disposable and require <\/span>much more effort in keeping them clean and your teeth flossed.<\/span><\/p>\n

As an alternative, Invisalign’s treatment process is unique in the orthodontic field and follows a proven step-by-step method.<\/span><\/p>\n
