\"best-invisalign-alternatives\"
\nIf you\u2019re on the hunt for Invisalign alternatives, it\u2019s likely these are your second choice. You were probably looking for a treatment program that was inconspicuous, at school or in the workplace. You wanted to brush and floss easily. You were hoping to eat all the same foods at your meals and snacks. The good news is Invisalign alternatives can still meet many of your wishes.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s our top list of the alternatives that get the silver medal.<\/p>\n

Ceramic Braces<\/strong><\/h1>\n

While they are more noticeable than clear trays, ceramic braces come in a translucent color. They\u2019re more conspicuous than traditional stainless steel braces. Many adult and teen patients prefer ceramic to metal braces. Rubber bands that stain and yellow can be replaced at monthly orthodontist visits. In addition, this Invisalign alternative is durable, budget friendly, and effective in aligning the smile.<\/p>\n

Lingual Braces<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

Lingual braces are the completely incognito option of the Invisalign alternatives. The brackets are placed on the inner tongue side surface of the teeth. Not only do wind instrument musicians benefit, but also athletes from a reduced risk of injury during contact sports. Others simply prefer the invisible look of their braces when smiling for a photo or engaging in conversation.<\/p>\n

Damon System<\/strong><\/a><\/h1>\n

Of the Invisalign alternatives, the Damon System looks most similar to traditional braces. However, it offers the Invisalign advantage of lower friction and more subtle alignment of the teeth. In the Damon System, shape memory wire in bracket slots promote gradual alignment of the teeth. The resulting grin is broad with a less flat front profile than traditional braces.<\/p>\n
