Many people are not satisfied with the appearance of their smile. One of the most common factors that contribute to this feeling is misaligned teeth. Regardless of your age, it's never too late to take steps to straighten your smile and boost your self-confidence. These days, many adults and teens alike are benefitting from Invisalign treatment, which has become the preferred option over traditional metal braces. The cosmetic dentistry team here at J. Selig Cooper, DDS proudly offers Invisalign treatment for patients in Greensboro, NC and the surrounding communities. If you're interested in improving the alignment of your teeth, read on to learn about the many advantages of Invisalign!

Many of the perks of using Invisalign clear braces stem from one simple fact: they are removable. Whereas standard wire braces are permanently adhered to your teeth, Invisalign liners slip in and out of your mouth easily, meaning you can get down to your natural teeth at a moment's notice. This makes eating a much smoother process and you will not have any restrictions on certain types of foods that would be more likely to get stuck in or damage the brackets. Cleaning your Invisalign is no hassle either once it is out of your mouth. Just gently brush the liner with toothpaste and rinse it in warm water.

The other main benefit of Invisalign treatment over traditional braces is the look and feel. These liners are transparent and give off the appearance of regular teeth. If you do not want anything about your smile to stand out and call attention to itself, Invisalign is the way to go. No one else will know that you're wearing braces unless you decide to tell them so. As for the feel of Invisalign, the liners are very comfortable, with no hard and sharp edges to scratch against your tongue, lips, and gums. They also do cause the same kind of tension and soreness in the jaw as traditional braces.
