Unlike traditional braces, <strong>Invisalign<\/strong> does not use wires or brackets, so the pain and discomfort usually associated with straightening teeth is eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit of <strong>Invisalign<\/strong> is the fact you are able to have better oral hygiene. Whenever you need to brush, floss, eat, or drink, simply remove the retainer and reapply when done. You are able to be as discreet as possible while straightening your smile with <strong>Invisalign<\/strong>.
