The Pros And Cons Of Invisalign Treatment In Toronto

Many adults never straightened their teeth, often due to worries about discomfort or embarrassment of having braces. Invisalign brings a new way for adults and children alike to correct the alignment of their teeth. Before deciding if this is the right treatment for you, consider the Invisalign pros and cons Toronto.

 Pros

They’re invisible

The main reason for the popularity of Invisalign is that it is unlikely anyone will know you are using aligners. They are made from clear plastic, free from metal brackets and bands.

 You can eat whatever you want

As you remove aligners when you eat, there are no restrictions on your diet.

 They help you maintain good dental hygiene.

You also remove aligners when you brush your teeth, making it easier to access every area of your mouth and ensure no food remnants remain.

 They’re comfortable

Aligners should have a smooth surface — nothing to rub against the gums or sides of your mouth. If you find any rough edges, return to your dentist for an adjustment.

 They’re affordable

Invisalign costs about the same as traditional metal brackets.

 Cons

You need to adhere closely to your dentist’s guidelines.

Invisalign only works if you wear aligners for an average of 22 hours per day. You need to commit to keeping to the rules; otherwise, the treatment will fail.

 You need to remove them before eating

Although this is an advantage for some people, it is a disadvantage for others. Depending on your lifestyle, you may find it inconvenient to remove aligners before you eat or drink anything other than water. To make matters worse, you also need to clean your teeth before reinserting aligners.

 They are unsuitable for severe misalignment

Aligners correct many issues, but severe misalignment may take too long to fix or you may fail to see the results you wanted.
