Invisalign® clear braces are a great option to improve the way teeth are aligned, particularly for mild-to-moderate cases of malocclusion. This discreet orthodontic solution has more to offer than just a stand-alone treatment, however. In many instances, Invisalign is an excellent complement to cosmetic dental services, enhancing a smile’s overall appearance.
Boosting Your Smile’s Form and Function with Invisalign
As a modern dental solution, treatment with Invisalign is designed to provide benefits to a smile’s function and beauty as well as oral health in general. By straightening teeth more cosmetically than traditional orthodontics, clear aligners offer support in the following areas:
Hygiene – It is easier to keep teeth shining and clean when they are positioned properly. During Invisalign treatment, the removable trays allow patients to stick to a normal brushing and flossing routine.
Function – When a smile is aligned, it enables more effective chewing and an even bite distribution. With this established, it is possible to enjoy a diverse diet, full of nutritious and tasty foods, without putting undue stress on your jaw.
Aesthetics – Being able to share a healthy, uniform smile with others can be tremendously uplifting. While Invisalign alone improves dental appearance, when combined with cosmetically-focused care options, the results are that much more transformative.
Invisalign and Professional Teeth Whitening - A Perfect Pair
There are many reasons why clear aligners and teeth whitening options combine to form an effective treatment plan. Professional whitening makes the dramatic results from straightening teeth that much more stunning. This relationship works both ways as having better dental alignment makes it easier for whitening agents to reach all surfaces of the smile, allowing for uniform improvement in color.
The nature of the Invisalign system makes it easier and more convenient to brighten your teeth. In some cases, the aligner trays may be used as part of take-home whitening to distribute the bleaching gel toward the end of treatment. Invisalign patients who receive both at once can immediately achieve a straighter, brighter smile.
