Invasilign (Transparent Plaque Treatment)
What is Invasilign (Transparent Plaque Treatment)?
Invisalign treatment is one of the finest examples of the latest technologies developed for orthodontic treatments. Invisalign clear aligners are custom-made in the laboratory and used to correct misaligned teeth. While straightening the teeth, Invisalign clear aligners are not easily noticeable, making them a popular choice for individuals who prefer not to use traditional metal braces, especially due to aesthetic concerns.
These transparent aligners, with their high level of transparency, are manufactured to be fully compatible with orthodontic treatment and built on a strong infrastructure that can effectively impact the positioning of the teeth.
What are the Advantages of Invisalign (Transparent Plaque Treatment)?
Orthodontic treatment with Invisalign clear aligners is much more comfortable compared to traditional metal braces. The aligners are made entirely of soft material and do not cause any discomfort. They do not pose problems such as poking or soreness in the mouth, which can occur with metal or other derivative braces. Metal braces, due to their coverage in the mouth and restriction of the tongue’s space, can lead to speech impairments. In contrast, clear aligners do not create any conditions that would affect speech and do not have a negative impact on social life. Additionally, clear aligners can be easily removed and reinserted as desired. This allows for much easier dental hygiene compared to other types of braces. Moreover, clear aligners made of a transparent material provide a much more aesthetically pleasing appearance and are not easily noticeable when viewed from the front.
