But when you do, you immediately become self-conscious of your crooked teeth. But enough is enough \u2013 you\u2019re finally ready to address your smile imperfections, but since you\u2019re a busy entrepreneur, metal braces just aren\u2019t for you. What other solutions do you have? Dr. David Tillman, your premier dentist in Fort Worth, offers Invsialign to straighten your teeth without calling more attention to the flaws to your pearly whites. Find out how Invisalign stacks up against traditional metal orthodontics in this post.<\/p>\n<h2><!--more-->#1 \u2013 Time<\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Tillman explains that there is a significant difference in your time commitment between braces and Invisalign in Fort Worth. This will impact you in two ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Braces<\/u> \u2013 Braces generally take at least two years to completely straighten your teeth.<\/li>\n<li><u>Invisalign<\/u> \u2013 Patients usually finish their course of treatment in just 6-18 months!<\/li>\n<li><u>Braces<\/u> \u2013 You\u2019ll need to see your orthodontist at least every 2 weeks to have your braces adjusted, meaning you\u2019ll invest lots of time in dental appointments.<\/li>\n<li><u>Invisalign<\/u> \u2013 Since you\u2019ll receive your entire course of treatment in just one shipment, all you\u2019ll need to do is switch to a new pair of aligners every two weeks to be amazed by the results, and you\u2019ll have fewer follow up appointments with us.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>#2 \u2013 Cleaning Convenience<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to everyday oral hygiene, braces have a more significant impact to brushing and flossing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Braces<\/u> \u2013 You\u2019ll need to spend time threading floss through metal brackets and wires, or even invest in a water-irrigation unit that can be costly, and doesn\u2019t do the job that flossing does.<\/li>\n<li><u>Invisalign<\/u> \u2013 Since you can take Invisalign out, you\u2019ll remove these when you go through your oral hygiene routine \u2013 you\u2019ll brush and floss just like normal \u2013 with ease and convenience.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>#3 \u2013 Food Options<\/h2>\n<p>Metal orthodontics also affect the food choices you\u2019ll be able to make, for at least two years, so consider the differences here, as well:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Braces<\/u> \u2013 You\u2019ll have to avoid any foods that could potentially remove brackets when you chew, so apples, corn on the cob, tortilla chips, caramels, gum, and popcorn are all off limits when you have braces.<\/li>\n<li><u>Invisalign<\/u> \u2013 Since you\u2019ll take your invisible aligners out when you eat, you can enjoy all your favorite foods and even a few treats! Although you won\u2019t be able to chew gum while you\u2019re wearing your Invisalign, you can certainly chew on this when you take them out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>#4 \u2013 Appearance Of Treatment<\/h2>\n<p>The most noticeable difference between Invisalign and braces is how treatment looks:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><u>Braces<\/u> \u2013 No one will be able to miss the fact that you\u2019re straightening your teeth, which can be problematic for adults with busy career (and dating) lives, and for teens who may face unkind comments from kids in school.<\/li>\n<li><u>Invisalign<\/u> &#8211; Since Invisalign is made of thin, yet durable and effective acrylic, no one will be able to tell that you\u2019re straightening your teeth with Invisalign. There\u2019s a reason why celebs like Khloe Kardashian, Katherine Heigl, and Anna Kendrick have used this method to improve the alignment of their teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that you know why Invisalign is the clear winner over braces, schedule your appointment with Dr. David Tillman to achieve the perfectly straight teeth you deserve!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From backyard barbecues to pool parties to weddings to pop-up food trucks with some of the best treats in DFW, Summer in the metroplex always gives you plenty of reasons to smile.
