Often, a crooked smile can leave you with functional issues and a lack of confidence, keeping you from showing your natural smile.
Traditionally, straightening one’s smile has always been done with steel braces, which can cause additional time at appointments, pain, and very visible mouth gear. However, Invisalign offers a discreet solution to straightening your smile.
Unlike traditional steel braces, which are highly visible, need frequent adjustments, and can cause pain and pressure points, Invisalign offers a different solution. Invisalign is a clear aligner that can be worn in the mouth, similar to braces, to provide a straighter smile over time. Invisalign can be custom-fit, and you and your dentist will tailor a schedule that best works for how often to wear and adjust your clear aligners.
At your first Invisalign appointment, you will likely discuss your specific smile straightening goals to ensure you are a good fit for Invisalign. If you are, your dentist will likely take x-rays and custom molds/impressions of your teeth. From there, your custom-fit aligners will be created. You and your dentist will discuss how many hours per day to wear them, when to take them out, and how often to come back to get an aligner size adjustment. Our practice is proud to offer Invisalign for both teens and adults.
Invisalign offers a variety of benefits and customizations when compared to traditional steel braces.
