Invisalign Provider Brisbane CBD

Worried about the social stigma of undergoing orthodontic treatment? You don’t have to be. One of the major selling points of Invisalign has to do with its cosmetically enhanced aligners. The invisible, clear plastic aligners make it virtually impossible for anyone to detect your “braces”. In fact, celebrities often use clear aligners to avoid public scrutiny of their dental problems with successful results.

With Invisalign braces, you’re free from such unwanted attention and being the subject of unsavoury nicknames. In addition to warding off stigmatic references like “Metal Mouth” and “Tin Grin”, they are, oddly enough, celebrated in fashion magazines as a snazzy treatment for the trendy class!

Invisalign provides a more comfortable and effective teeth straightening experience. Unlike traditional braces that can irritate the gum and oral tissues, the smooth and seamless contours of the aligners are designed for comfortable and constant wear throughout the day. Traditional braces sometimes require placing a protective layer of wax over the wire-type brace that add to the inconvenience and bulk of the apparatus. Invisalign aligners, on the other hand, are not only gentler on the mouth and lips they are slim and fit perfectly over the teeth.

Compared to traditional braces, the removable aligners do not interfere with the wearer’s lifestyle or hygiene habits. A major drawback of traditional braces is that food particles tend to get trapped beneath the wires and brackets and make it challenging for the wearer to clean their teeth with normal brushing or flossing. Invisalign aligners are designed in such a way that patients may remove the appliance for a couple of hours each day, and still retain their straightening efficacy. When the aligners are temporarily removed, they can be easily cleaned and maintained while the patient gets to brush and floss as he or she normally would.
