People who wear invisible appliances know that it is required to be replaced every two weeks and the reason why these appliances have to be replaced is that these are not self-adjusting which means that every time the teeth moves, the expert has to provide the patient with another set of aligners that fit the teeth. The professional prepares a set of aligners even before the treatment is started so that there are no interruptions and the patient’s treatment isn’t delayed; however, it is really time-consuming to go to the dental expert every two weeks and get the Invisalign in Portland replaced and this is also one reason why people prefer metal aligners over these because these are permanent and one does not have to worry about getting them replaced every now and then.
Aligners have taken an altogether different shape lately because of the invention of aligners made of an alloy of nickel and titanium which does not require regular adjustments due to the fact that they were activated by body heat and would fit perfectly. These metal aligners are used more than the invisible ones because these aren’t too expensive and are permanent as well. This means that the patient has to go to an orthodontist if they want to remove it for a while. Even experts recommend these Invisalign in Portland to children due to the fact that they cannot remove it and the treatment process is faster than in case of any other aligner.
