If you thought you
were too old for braces because you just do not want to deal with those
unattractive brackets and wires, think again. Thanks to Invisalign®, you can
have straighter teeth in as little as six months depending on your particular
situation. The average length of treatment is between 9 and 13 months.
Invisalign® really is
a revolutionary system that can give you the smile that you have always wanted,
and best of all, the only people who will know that you are wearing Invisalign®
are you and your dentist.
Invisalign® utilizes
a series of clear plastic aligners that you wear between 20 and 22 hours each
day. You take your Invisalign® clear plastic aligners when you eat, drink, floss,
and brush. Depending on your case, you may require between 18 and 30 sets of
aligners that you will replace every two weeks.
Invisalign® is the
comfortable way to a beautiful smile, as you will not have to deal with
abrasive and annoying standard metal wires and brackets. Because you are not
wearing old school braces, you will only have to visit your dentist every 6
weeks to make sure that everything is going to plan.
Unlike metal brackets
and wires, Invisalign® makes it easier to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
Because standard braces are attached to your teeth, it is impossible to brush
and floss everywhere. This makes you more susceptible to dental caries and
gingivitis or periodontal disease.
Straighter teeth have
never been easier thanks to Invisalign®. Invisalign® really is the best way to
improve your smile. Invisalign® can fix overly crowded or widely spaced teeth.
You may also be a good candidate for Invisalign® if you have a crossbite, an
overbite, or an underbite.
An Invisalign®
dentist will help design a custom Invisalign® program that will address your
specific orthodontic or dental issues.
