Have your teeth made you stop smiling in social situations? Having crooked teeth can affect your confidence. While you’ve probably considered orthodontic treatment, you may dread the idea of getting braces. However, there’s no need for everyone to know you’re straightening your teeth if you choose Invisalign’s inconspicuous clear aligner trays.
Invisalign is a modern and virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth that has become very popular with adults and teens looking to correct mild to moderate orthodontic issues. Placed by specially trained dental professionals, Invisalign could be the answer to getting the perfectly straight and shining smile you’ve always wanted. Call our office for more information!
Invisalign is an alternative to braces. Instead of using brackets and wires, Invisalign uses transparent aligner trays to shift teeth. Instead of a dentist tightening the wires on braces to move teeth gradually, people switch out their aligner trays every two weeks. Unlike braces, you can remove your Invisalign aligner trays to eat and take care of your dental hygiene needs. Virtual invisibility is the primary reason patients choose Invisalign.
Invisalign is a brand name of clear aligner trays. There are others, but Invisalign is the oldest, and they done the most research into creating effective, comfortable and secure aligners. For example, Invisalign researched the material they use to make the aligners for eight years, testing hundreds of materials to find the best one. The aligners are made from SmartTrack, Invisalign’s latex-free and BPA-free, patented, flexible plastic, which makes them strong, yet easy to slip on and off.
Invisalign is often the ideal teeth straightening solution for adults and older teens whose teeth have stopped growing. The aligner trays can shift crooked teeth, fix gaps and correct overbites, underbites and cross bites. Invisalign may not be able to correct complex or severe issues; your dentist may recommend metal braces instead.
If you or your teen wants Invisalign, you should consider the following questions:
Invisalign will barely affect your day-to-day life. Keep in mind:
Patients typically feel these minor inconveniences are more than made up for by Invisalign’s advantages.
Yes, just like you would if you had braces instead of clear aligner trays. Your dentist will help you choose the best style retainer to meet your needs; many patients choose a retainer which looks like the trays they are already used to wearing. If you don’t wear the retainer as your dentist directs, your teeth will revert to their former position.
