What is Invisalign Lite vs full?
Anyone can use Invisalign for teeth straightening. It is a prominent treatment that gives you a beautiful and straight smile. Invisalign is a popular choice among patients due to several reasons. Invisalign aligners are just like the traditional metal braces, but it’s more comfortable and convenient. In addition, the Invisalign treatment depends on an individual’s needs and teeth condition. Therefore, everyone can not use the same set of Invisalign trays. There are two Invisalign aligners available, namely Lite and Full Invisalign aligners. Your dentist can give you either of those after assessing your teeth condition.
What are Invisalign Lite aligners?
Lite Invisalign aligners are manufactured or designed for treating less significant or minor dental issues. There are various minor issues with which you only need lite Invisalign aligners. Some minor dental problems for which Invisalign is used are misaligned teeth, minor crowding, weird teeth positioning, little gaps between the teeth, etc. Lite Invisalign aligners work best for less complex issues.
What are Invisalign Full aligners?
Full Invisalign aligners are used for server and more complex dental issues. Full Invisalign works to get your teeth in a better position while applying the required pressure. Full Invisalign aligners can correct severely crowded teeth, upper and lower teeth alignment, major gaps, and crooked teeth.
Invisalign Lite is best for short-term teeth straightening processes. Invisalign lite treatment lasts around 6-7 months and is perfect to use if you want an early result. Invisalign Lite comes with a maximum of 10 aligners you must wear during the treatment. On the other hand, in Invisalign full treatment, you have to change your aligners every one or two weeks to correct your teeth’ positioning. Invisalign full treatment can last up to 12 or more months.
Lastly, if you face any problem with your Invisalign treatment, it is essential to consult your dentist for proper treatment.
