8 Benefits of Using Invisalign Teeth Aligners for a Straighter Smile

Your confidence and overall well-being can dramatically improve when you have a straight smile. But having straight teeth is much more than having a gorgeous smile. Misaligned teeth can lead to oral health problems. If your teeth are misaligned, it can be harder to clean them effectively. This means that over time, tooth decay can occur, leading to costly dental problems, gum disease, and even tooth loss. Fortunately, Dr. Nicholas Garcia at Dr. Garcia General & Cosmetic Dentistry in Baltimore, Maryland, has the perfect solution for you: Invisalign clear aligners.

1. Understanding Invisalign Clear Aligners

Invisalign clear aligners work to fix dental conditions, including gaps between teeth, overcrowding, and misalignment. Each set of aligners created from advanced CAD/CAM technology moves the teeth into their proper positions over time. Invisalign provides a hidden orthodontic solution that allows patients to straighten their teeth comfortably and remove the aligners whenever needed.

Benefits of Invisalign Clear Aligners:

• Virtually invisible when worn
• Comfortable fit with smooth, non-irritating material
• Convenient for enjoying the foods you love and doing your oral hygiene
• Fewer visits to Dr. Garcia’s office for adjustments
• Straighter teeth in less time than with traditional metal braces

2. SmartTrack^® Technology: The Material Behind the Magic

SmartTrack^® is the patented thermoplastic material that gives Invisalign aligners their distinctive combination of flexibility, durability, and comfort. The material provides a tight but comfortable fit, enabling the clear aligners to exert steady but mild pressure to move your teeth to straighter positions. Equally important, the smooth texture helps prevent the gum and cheek irritation that comes with metal brackets and wires.

3. A Versatile Solution for Teens and Adults

The Invisalign system provides a flexible orthodontic solution that can meet the needs of both teen and adult patients. With compliance indicators, Invisalign aligners help teens maintain proper wear time. This is a bonus for parents as well.

4. Comfortable Teeth Straightening Without Metal

Most patients find Invisalign much more comfortable than traditional metal braces. While some people experience mild discomfort when they first start wearing clear aligners, it quickly disappears. Also, your teeth move gently and gradually through the aligners, so there’s little discomfort. And thanks to the smooth thermoplastic material, you never have to worry about the sores and irritation that usually come with metal braces.

5. Treatment Can Be Enhanced With SmartTrack^® Attachments

SmartForce^® attachments are small tooth-colored pieces bonded to teeth to work alongside Invisalign aligners for complex tooth movement situations. These attachments are essential for precisely moving the teeth in more complicated orthodontic cases, although they may not be required for all treatment plans.

6. Invisalign Buttons Offer Even More Precision in Tooth Movement

Invisalign buttons function as tiny dental attachments that bond to teeth and work together with elastic bands to improve the accuracy of your treatment. Orthodontic professionals can have enhanced treatment control with these buttons to correct bite problems or facilitate specific tooth movements.

7. Retainers Help Maintain Results

Once your Invisalign treatment is finished, you must consistently wear retainers. Retainers keep teeth in their new positions and prevent them from slowly moving back to their previous positions. Dr. Garcia offers both clear retainers and traditional wire retainers.
