Advantage of Invisalign Over Braces
Since aligners are removed for eating, you can eat whatever you want. That is not true for braces, because braces can be broken off the teeth if you eat something too crunchy.
Since aligners are removable, it is easy to thoroughly clean your teeth after eating. You can brush and floss without any brackets (braces) being in the way and trapping food.
Invisalign hugs the teeth closely and has a very low profile, so there is nothing protruding out from the tooth surfaces to irritate the inside of the lips or cheeks. Invisalign moves
the teeth in tiny increments, so the pressure on the teeth is small and very controlled, whereas with braces the teeth are moved by wires and the forces are larger and harder to
control. For this reason, Invisalign causes very little soreness of the teeth, and what soreness there is lasts only hours, not days. Invisalign is clear and hard to see, and is therefore
cosmetically superior to even the “clear” braces. Also aligners can be removed for close-up photos, but braces are not so easily removed.
