Summer is here, and that means you have plenty of important events coming up. These events include graduations, weddings, summer vacations, among others. Is your smile picture-ready to capture these memories? If you do not feel totally confident in your smile due to poor alignment and spacing, the team at Kozlow and Rowell Dentistry in Dallas, TX, may be able to help you improve your smile without the need for braces. Today, we’re discussing clear aligners in our blog.
Traditional braces are popularly used for orthodontic treatment because they are highly effective. Metal brackets are secured to your teeth and held in place with archwire. Over time, your pearly whites are gradually shifted into the correct position. Treatment time can vary, but on average it may take around one to two years to complete. Alternatively, Invisalign is a more discreet option that teenage and adult patients may prefer. Instead of metal brackets and wires to shift your teeth, clear aligners fit snugly and move them into the correct position. Like braces, treatment time can vary but may take one to two years.
If you are interested in Invisalign clear aligners, we invite you to schedule a consultation at your earliest convenience. We will examine your smile and assess the misalignment to determine if this approach is right for you. After being approved for treatment, we will create custom trays for you to wear. You will need to wear your trays for the majority of the day, only removing them to eat and brush your teeth. Many patients choose Invisalign over traditional braces due to its comfort, removable nature, and reduced visibility. You can wear your Invisalign in pictures and at work without worrying about others noticing them.
In addition to having an uneven smile, many patients feel self-conscious because their teeth are yellowish and stained. A professional teeth-whitening procedure can help you get rid of this discoloration once your orthodontic treatment is finished. Our KoR whitening treatment will apply a bleaching agent to your teeth, rapidly removing these stains. In just a few sessions, you can show off your bright, confident smile. The treatment can help remove stains on your enamel caused by your daily cup of coffee, soda, food, and more. By combining this cosmetic treatment with Invisalign aligners, you can enjoy a total smile makeover that you can feel confident in.
Invisalign allows you to straighten your teeth without the need for highly visible and uncomfortable metal braces. To learn more about your candidacy or to get started, schedule a consultation with Kozlow and Rowell Dentistry in Dallas, TX, today at 972-458-2464.
