Braces vs. Invisalign: Gingival Parameters
Braces vs. Invisalign: Gingival Parameters
Our primary hypothesis has been largely confirmed. Invisalign® patients have significantly better gingival health, whereas oral hygiene is not different between FOA patients and Invisalign® patients. Our second hypothesis that Invisalign® is superior for quality of life of the patients has also been confirmed.
Finally, Invisalign® is more gentle for gingival tissue than FOA due to more simple oral hygiene.
