Choosing, Invisalign or braces

Ok, like many of you reading this blog, I am now searching the internet for the best method to teach this fang a lesson. Here were my options everything has is pros and cons, EVERYTHING has cons.  This is what I found my options were:

Traditional Braces

Ceramic Braces

Invisalign

I know there are many more options but these were the only ones I could choose for my problem and financially.

I feel that the main thing that influences everyone is the appearance of braces. Ceramic braces are clear and are far less noticeable than traditional braces.



I got this picture off the internet, it is a lady called Lora she was unable to have invisalign due to how her teeth were and only option was having braces. You can see to what I believe to be ceramic braces and the normaly braces a the bottom (I think). You can see that the bottom is far more notice than the top. It is a great comparison, if you don't want to have invisalign or simply can't and it looks like you are going to have braces, check her blog out.
Now pictures of invisalign which is supposed to be invisible


All looks very appealing doesn’t it! After searching the internet, I have found a list of pros and cons, so let us compare it! Table was retrieved from the Invisalign UK website. http://www.invisalign.co.uk/ 

InvisalignFixed Braces
How does it work?Invisalign uses a series of clear removable aligners to straighten your teeth without wires or brackets. Fixed braces use wires and brackets to move your teeth into straighter alignment.
Nearly invisible.No. Most fixed braces are noticeable.
Removable during treatment.No. You cannot remove fixed braces until treatment is completed.
Treatment doesn't involve metal that can irritate teeth and gums.No. The metal wires and brackets used can cause mouth irritation.
Allows you to brush and floss normally during treatment.No. Fixed metal braces hinder the ability to reach the entire tooth/gum area when flossing.
Provides a clear defined and virtual treatment plan from the start to the completion of treatment.




Although your dental practitioner has a clear defined treatment plan, you will not be able to see what your teeth may look like during and after treatment.

  4. Many people have the embarrassing issue of crooked or crowded teeth. One of the most obvious solutions for the orthodontic problem is to get braces, but with more and more teens and even adults needing their teeth straightened, there is another option known as Invisalign. Invisalign is a clear set of hard plastic aligners that are fitted for your mouth. They must be checked and replaced over the course of the first couple of months while they work at aligning your teeth into proper position. Invisalign is a preferred choice for adults and teens because they are practically invisible due to being clear. However, as with all things, there are both pros and cons to using Invisalign. It’s important to know all the details before you decide to get fitted with the aligners at Orthodontist & Invisallign Doctor in Whitefield, Bangalore.

    Pros of Invisalign
    There are several advantages to getting Invisalign instead of opting for traditional metallic braces. Here are some pros of the clear set of aligners:

    Comfort: Invisalign is much more physically comfortable to wear. Since there are no wires or brackets, you don’t have to worry about getting any painful nicks or cuts in your mouth. They are smooth and won’t irritate your mouth. The aligners are similar to a mouth guard and lack any sharp edges.

    More Attractive: Since Invisalign is clear, it doesn’t leave you with a mouth full of metal. In other words, they are more attractive to the eye, and most people won’t even know you are wearing them. That means you can feel free to smile and don’t have to feel overly self-conscious.

    Convenience: Invisalign has become a norm for straightening the teeth, which means that you don’t necessarily have to deal with metal braces. This makes them very convenient, especially as they are available on a widespread scale.

    Can be Removed: Invisalign aligners can be removed for eating, brushing your teeth and flossing. That is something that cannot be done with braces. It allows you to eat foods you want and practice better oral hygiene, which helps to lower your risk of developing gum disease while you go through the process of straightening your teeth. You won’t have to worry about food particles getting stuck, which happens with traditional braces.

    Minimal Maintenance: Invisalign aligners require minimal maintenance. They can get dingy over time when you wear them, but you can freshen them by using a toothbrush dipped in a small amount of bleach and water. Scrubbing them for a minute will eliminate any stains. You only need to do this every other day.
