06 Sep Invisible Braces with Clear Results
Invisible braces like Invisalign are a wonderful treatment option for working professionals. With Invisalign, you can enjoy effective orthodontic treatment as discreetly as possible. Straightening your smile can renew your self-confidence and improve your oral health. If you’re curious as to whether Invisalign is right for you, we invite you to book a clear braces consultation with our dentist.
How Invisalign Treatment Works
Invisalign treatment can straighten crooked teeth, close gaps, and improve your bite. Treatment consists of wearing clear plastic appliances called “aligners”. These aligners fit over the arches of your teeth like a retainer.
Patients receiving Invisalign will wear a new set of aligners every two weeks. Each successive set is tighter than the one before, which generates healthy tooth movement. As treatment progresses, patients will see their teeth become straighter. Once treatment is complete, retainers are worn at night to maintain results.
Invisalign is effective at treating gapped, crooked, and overlapped teeth. It can also improve those who have overbites, underbites, and open bites.
Treatment Advantages Associated with Invisalign
Invisalign is a unique orthodontic treatment system. It does not utilize fixed orthodontic appliances like ligatures or brackets. Instead, patients wear removable plastic aligners. Since these orthodontic appliances are removable, this treatment option doesn’t impede oral function or oral hygiene. Eating your favorite foods and maintaining a clean mouth is a breeze with Invisalign.
Since aligners are translucent, patients enjoy inconspicuous orthodontic treatment. This is ideal for those anticipating a big social event like a wedding or for those who do not want to wear distracting braces. Invisalign is so discreet that most people won’t be able to tell that you are wearing braces.
Conventional orthodontia can irritate and tear soft oral tissue. Dental wax is often necessary to reduce irritation. Invisalign, however, is constructed from plastic with very smooth surfaces. This eliminates the need for dental wax and reduces braces-related irritation.
