Invisalign
One of the first features people notice about you is your smile.
With the advancement of technology, crooked and misaligned teeth can easily be corrected. Invisalign is a popular orthodontic treatment for both teens and adults.
Invisalign is More than a Teeth Aligner
The goal is to have perfectly aligned teeth. However, there are more interventions needed when crafting a beautiful smile.
Invisalign not only aligns teeth but its system is designed to correct an improper bite, teeth crowding, and reducing gaps. These changes will make eating and speaking more comfortable.
Custom Treatment Plan for Each Patient
Fingerprints are unique, so is your smile. There is no uniform strategy for all orthodontic treatment. On your first consultation, our dentist will perform an oral examination to assess your dental condition.
With the images and teeth impressions gathered, a custom alignment tray will be designed specifically for your mouth.
Invisalign System Uses Invisible Trays
Yes, you heard it right! The alignment trays used with Invisalign are designed to be nearly undetectable when placed in your mouth. This is a big advantage for someone who wants to keep changes in the mouth subtle while correcting their teeth.
No Food Limitations
When you wear traditional braces, there are dietary restrictions. Sticky and hard foods are a big no-no as they can break the brackets.
With clear teeth aligners, you remove them while you eat so you can still enjoy your favorite foods.
No Discomfort
Mild discomfort is often reported by patients wearing braces, such as experiencing sores from the pressure of the brackets.
A clear plastic aligner has smooth sides which generate less friction on your cheeks and gums. When you get used to wearing one, you hardly notice it.
The Procedure is Non-Invasive
Attaching brackets to your teeth involves using a special type of adhesive. Although the metal braces and brackets can be partially removed when desired, the use of Invisalign is preferred by most patients as it is less invasive. Once your treatment is complete you can simply remove it by yourself.
Requires Fewer Dental Visits
While on traditional braces, dental visits are required every couple of weeks to tighten the brackets.
With clear teeth aligners, you still need to visit your dentist. However, fewer appointments are required, since you only go to the office to switch out the trays to continue with your teeth alignment.
Improves Oral Health
Some think that orthodontic procedures are merely aesthetic. But this is not the case.
Straightening your teeth makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene, as improper alignment can cause food to be trapped.
Invisalign also corrects improper bite, which prevents broken and chipped tooth problems.
One of the best things about this teeth alignment system is how your dentist can show a rendering of how your smile will look when you complete your treatment. This keeps you motivated to adhere to the program and later on enjoy your new smile.
