The aligner trays are virtually impossible for others to see. This makes them a favorite among adults who must undergo orthodontic treatment but don’t want to use unsightly metal braces.

You can remove the trays to eat and brush your teeth, which makes them much less difficult to keep clean than traditional braces.

Invisalign trays do not cause many of the negative side effects of traditional braces. Bracket-and-wire braces are prone to causing some damage to the gums and surrounding tissue, often in the form of canker sores and swelling. They often cause the teeth roots to shorten, and cause some degree of tooth decay in up to 50 percent of patients.

With Invisalign, the patient is much more dependent on the patient’s participation and behavior. But if the patient wears the trays as instructed, it pretty much eliminates this concern.
