Invisalign

Long gone are the days where crooked teeth would need to be wrapped in metal wires and rods for a couple of years, and sharing a smile during social events meant sacrificing all of your self-confidence. Today we have Invisalign, a modern take on correcting spacing, overcrowding, and misaligned teeth with the advantage of a completely removable and transparent set of aligners. Invisalign is custom made from a durable and clear plastic material called polyurethane, gradually shifting your teeth into a desired position using a computer-generated series of aligners. These aligners are worn in succession for an average of two weeks at a time, allowing for the teeth to take on their new position before placing the next set over your teeth, slowly transforming your smile into one of perfection. These clear braces are entirely removeable as well, allowing for patients to take them off for short periods of time to eat, drink, or even enjoy a night out without worrying about their braces. The cosmetic advantages are immense and amazing to behold, all while keeping your treatment completely out of sight. If you have any questions related to the Invisalign treatment and what it involves, contact our helpful office staff members by picking up the phone today.

Invisalign was practically designed with the sole purpose of providing one advantage after another over the decreasingly popular option of metal braces. The first and most alluring benefit to our patients is the elimination of metal wires within the mouth, which can be not only extremely uncomfortable, but an unsightly dental accessory that tends to leave individuals with much less confidence during treatment time. Metal braces can be extremely difficult to clean around, increasing the risk of tooth decay during treatment. Invisalign offers the opportunity for you to continuously be happy about the way you look while still getting all of the benefits of a straighter, more beautiful smile. Another fantastic advantage is the simplicity behind how they are tightened and removed. When your teeth are settled into the position they need to be, and after a couple weeks of using one set of aligners, you simply remove the current set and place the next ones over your teeth. Easy! The best aspect by far, however, is that these aligners can be removed at any point in time at your discretion, making things like a dental cleaning much easier. As long as the aligners remain on your teeth the recommended 22 hours a day, patients can feel free to simply take them off and enjoy their favorite meal, or simply enjoy a social event without any concern for appearance whatsoever. Invisalign does require more self-discipline for these reasons, and the best results will always come from following the recommendations of your dentist and orthodontist.
