Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign works by applying gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move your teeth into the desired position.
Treatment uses a series of custom-made clear aligners, with each aligner designed to do its part before being replaced by the next one in the series until your smile is beautifully aligned.
Virtually Invisible
Invisalign clear aligners are made from a lightweight, transparent material, which makes them nearly invisible when worn.
This makes them a great option for anyone looking for a low-profile look. Many people who wear Invisalign find that most of the people they see every day do not even notice the aligners. It is truly a subtle, barely-there way to straighten your teeth.
Convenient & Removable
Another big advantage of Invisalign is that the aligners are removable. This means you can keep your normal brushing and flossing routine without any extra hassle.
You simply take out the aligners, care for your teeth as usual, and put them back in. The removability also makes mealtime easy since there are no food restrictions, and you can take them out for special occasions, photos, or date night whenever you like.
Comfortable
Some occasional discomfort is normal with any type of orthodontic treatment. This minor soreness is simply a sign that your teeth are shifting into their new positions.
Many people find that Invisalign’s smooth design helps reduce friction, which can make the treatment more comfortable and easier on the soft tissues of the mouth.
Invisalign & Braces in Peabody & Newburyport
At Pavlo Orthodontics, we provide both traditional braces and Invisalign clear aligners for children, teens, and adults. Our orthodontists will work with you to determine which treatment option is the best fit for your needs and goals.
Benefits of Braces
Traditional braces use brackets, wires, and elastic bands to gradually move and straighten your teeth.
Today’s braces are much different from the bulky, uncomfortable metal you might be imagining from years ago. Modern braces are designed to be more comfortable and streamlined, making treatment easier to manage while still delivering great results.
Versatility
Braces are a versatile treatment that can correct almost any type of misalignment, even the more complex cases. Their ability to apply steady, consistent pressure to the teeth makes them highly effective.
For more complicated corrections, such as rotating teeth, adjusting their length, or aligning roots after extractions, braces are often the preferred option to achieve the best results.
Efficiency
Braces are very effective because they can apply the right amount of force to correct even the most challenging misalignments. This makes it possible for treatment to progress efficiently and achieve results in a timely way.
With ongoing improvements in design, modern braces are now more discreet and durable than ever, making them a great option for patients of all ages.
Ease of Compliance
Removable aligners can be very convenient, but it is important to think about how likely you are to wear them exactly as prescribed. It can be easy to forget to put them back in or to take more breaks than you should when your mouth feels sore.
If you think sticking to a schedule might be challenging, traditional braces could be a better fit. They stay in place and help make sure your treatment stays on track from start to finish.
