It’s difficult to rank advantages and disadvantages of dental procedures, considering each case is different. While it is an orthodontic procedure, Invisalign is slightly more elective than other kinds of maintenance. This makes a list of pros and cons of Invisalign more representative than most.
Pros of Invisalign
First, this product is very attractive. No longer do those with crooked teeth have to submit to the old “metal-mouth” stigma of braces. While traditional braces themselves have upgraded to include lingual and self-ligating options, Invisalign surpasses even these visually. The clear plastic aligners, made from the cutting-edge Invisalign technology, mimic the look of your natural teeth.
Invisalign straightens the teeth using a very linear course. You change your aligners every few weeks, as directed by your dentist, and each new set builds on the progress made by the one it replaces. This is a simple, results-oriented process that is easy to both visualize and execute.
Cons of Invisalign
You have to wear your aligners as many as 22 hours a day, which some consider a con. The program really does work only if you work it, and if you cannot commit to this much usage, or to brushing and flossing more than usual (as many as 3 brushes/2 flosses per day), Invisalign may not be a good option.
