Invisalign® vs Braces

There are several advantages to the use of clear plastic aligners instead of traditional braces. Adult patients appreciate the discreetness of aligners that are virtually invisible. The fact that the plastic used to make aligners is BPA-free is also appealing. Because the aligners can be removed, they do not affect your life in the same way braces would. You can continue to eat as you always have, removing the aligners before meals. You can brush and floss your teeth without braces getting in the way. You can even feel your best for that important meeting or special event by leaving your aligners out for a short time.

An important note about wear

The advantage of removability can also be a disadvantage of Invisalign treatment. The progression of movement depends on proper wear. As instructed by Dr. Tuli, your aligners should be worn about 22 hours a day. This means they are essentially removed only for meals and for oral care. If aligners are left out too long, progression of movement will be affected.
