Metal Braces vs Invisalign Aligners who wins?

Those who have worn metal braces know that despite the pain and sometimes embarrassment of them, eventually you were happy with the results. 

That was then, and now both adults and teens can rely on a more comfortable, more convenient and even undetectable version to straighten your smile.  Dr. Scott Kesselman, and Riverside Orthodontics is offering   this more modern version of braces, Invisalign Aligners and their patients are quite satisfied with them.

Invisalign Aligners are a transparent alternative to metal braces, and they can fix mild to moderate spacing, alignment, and bite problems.

The Invisalign Aligners are made from durable, transparent plastic. They are designed to be virtually unnoticeable, so the casual observer will not know the patient is wearing them. As a result, patients can have their teeth straightened without the metallic appearance that so many adults and teens dislike.

A Board Certified Orthodontist, Dr. Kesselman is assisted by a team of highly qualified Orthodontic Assistants at Riverside Orthodontics and together they strive to provide their family of patients with the highest standard of care in a pleasant and nurturing environment. It is that kind of atmosphere that you will be able to obtain that smile you’ve always dreamed of, the Invisalign smile.

The Invisalign system offers several advantages over traditional braces. Aside from their unobtrusive appearance, the aligners can often shift teeth to their final position in as little as one to two years, versus the three to four years that traditional braces require. In addition, the aligners can be removed for brushing and flossing the teeth, allowing for more thorough cleanings and preventing the buildup of plaque and tartar that often occurs around the brackets of metal braces.

In addition, patients can remove the aligners for eating. As a result, patients can eat foods such as corn on the cob and barbeque, which are often difficult to eat with metal braces.

Dr. Kesselman, Fairfield County CT.’s Dentist, can help you determine if the Invisalign system is right for you.
