At McCaffrey Orthodontics West Palm Beach, our mission is to help our patients achieve beautiful, healthy smiles that last a lifetime. We are proud to offer a wide range of orthodontic treatment options to our patients, and we strive to customize treatment to suit your unique lifestyle. One of the most popular options for patients seeking a convenient, discreet form of orthodontic treatment is the Invisalign system: an alternative to braces that uses clear, removable aligners to straighten teeth instead of brackets and wires. Invisalign aligners are a highly convenient option for many of our adult and adolescent patients, and Invisalign treatment offers a wide variety of benefits compared to traditional braces.
For starters, Invisalign treatment is an easier, more convenient treatment option that creates less disruption in your lifestyle. Invisalign aligners are smooth to the touch and cause fewer scratches than braces, and you will also need fewer visits to our orthodontic office for adjustments. Instead of needing to schedule appointments, you can switch your Invisalign trays easily on your own time. We can even send you your aligners via mail so that you do not have to schedule an appointment to pick them up.
One of the biggest benefits of the Invisalign system is that it is a virtually invisible form of orthodontic treatment. Instead of highly visible brackets and wires, the translucent Invisalign aligners are almost impossible to see when worn, which means you will not have to worry about having braces for pictures, professional presentations and social events. Whether you are a busy professional adult or a socially conscious teen, Invisalign aligners are a nearly invisible way for you to straighten your teeth.
With braces, you will need to avoid foods that are hard, crunchy or sticky, as these can all damage brackets. However, you remove your Invisalign aligners to eat and drink. This means Invisalign treatment comes with no dietary restrictions. You are free to enjoy all your favorite foods!
Proper oral hygiene is one of the most important parts of orthodontic treatment, as any dental health problem – such as a cavity – can completely derail treatment. However, with Invisalign aligners, you remove your aligners to brush and floss your teeth as normal. This means oral hygiene is as simple as ever, making it much easier to prevent decay and maintain proper oral hygiene during treatment.
By straightening your teeth, Invisalign treatment lowers your risk for dental problems like gum disease for a lifetime. However, gum disease does not just threaten your smile. The bacteria that causes gum disease can spread to other parts of your body, increasing your risk of strokes, heart disease, diabetes, low birthweight, osteoporosis and respiratory disease. By straightening your smile, the Invisalign system helps protect against issues like this in the future, saving you time and money that may otherwise be needed for treatment.
The Invisalign system is one of the easiest, most convenient and most discreet orthodontic treatment options on the market.
