Are you dreaming of a straighter smile, but the thought of traditional braces makes you feel a little...well, not exactly like smiling? We hear you loud and clear! That's why we're here to talk about Invisalign®, the amazing clear aligner system that can transform your smile without all the metal and hassle.
So, what is Invisalign?
Think of it as a team of invisible superheroes working overtime to straighten your teeth. Instead of bulky braces, Invisalign uses a series of comfortable, clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into their perfect positions.
While traditional braces can achieve amazing results, the metalwork can be a deterrent for adults. Invisalign offers a near-invisible alternative that straightens teeth discreetly.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gently shift your teeth into their perfect positions. You wear each aligner for about two weeks before switching to the next one. Unlike braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can eat, drink, and brush your teeth with ease! This also means, however, that more discipline and commitment is required from the patient.
Benefits of Invisalign:
Nearly Invisible: Invisalign is practically undetectable, allowing you to smile confidently throughout treatment.
Comfortable: The smooth plastic aligners are comfortable to wear and won't irritate your gums.
Removable: Enjoy the freedom to remove your aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and special occasions.
What Can Invisalign Treat?
Invisalign can address a wide range of orthodontic issues, just like traditional braces:
Crowding: When there's not enough space for teeth to fit properly, leading to potential decay and gum disease.
Gaps: Gaps can occur due to missing teeth or abnormal jaw growth.
Crossbite: Upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth, causing uneven wear and gum problems.
Overbite/Underbite: In an overbite, upper teeth overlap the lower teeth, while in an underbite, lower teeth overlap the upper teeth. Both situations can potentially lead to jaw pain and TMJ issues.
Suffering from any of these conditions? Don’t continue on as you have with jaw pain or wishing your smile looked different. We can help transform your smile AND help you feel better.
