INVISALIGN CLEAR ALIGNER TRAYS

How to Care for Your Aligners

It is easy to maintain your Invisalign aligners. They can be cleaned with lukewarm saline and brushed gently using a toothbrush. Hot water can cause the plastic to warp. The right care will ensure they are clear and functional during your treatment.

Invisalign®  vs. Braces Choose the right option for you

Cross Creek Dental understands that selecting the right orthodontic treatment can be a difficult decision. Invisalign and traditional braces are both effective in correcting dental misalignments. However, they have different features and advantages. This comparison will help you to make an informed decision.

Invisalign® 

• Aesthetics Invisalign's near-invisibility is one of its most attractive features. Clear aligners are discrete, which makes them an appealing choice for teens and adults who feel self-conscious wearing braces.
• Comfort: The Invisalign aligners, made of smooth plastic and custom-fitted for your teeth, reduce irritation and discomfort to your lips and gums caused by traditional braces.
• Convenience: The aligners can be removed, making it easy to eat, floss, or brush. This feature helps to improve oral hygiene throughout treatment.
• Duration Depending on the complexity and length of treatment, Invisalign may be faster than traditional braces for many patients.

Traditional Braces

• Efficiency: Braces can effectively treat complex dental and jaw problems. Invisalign is not able to handle severe cases.
• Cost: In general, traditional braces are less expensive than Invisalign. This makes them an affordable option for most families.
• Maintainance: Braces need to be tightened and adjusted regularly, which requires frequent dental or orthodontic visits. This can be a less convenient option, but it allows for a close monitoring of the progress.
• Visibility Metal braces can be more noticeable than Invisalign. This may cause concern to some patients, particularly adults.
