While those mail order clear plastic aligners
that are all over the internet may seem like a great idea, you’ll want to think
again, especially if you don’t want to end up with permanent damage.
According to your Corona Invisalign® dentist,
mail order braces can actually damage your smile instead of making it
beautiful.
What are Mail Order Braces?
Like Invisalign®, mail order braces are a
series of clear plastic aligners that slowly move teeth into position. Unlike Invisalign®
they don’t always, if ever, get it right.
While mail order braces require a mold or
impression of your teeth there are no x-rays or digital pictures taken. Unfortunately,
this could cause major problems for your teeth and gums.
With Invisalign® your progress is monitored
by your Invisalign® dentist in Corona. You have no supervision with mail order
braces.
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is a series of 11 to 31 clear
plastic aligners that are prescribed by your preferred Invisalign® provider.
X-rays and digital photos along with a mold
and impression are also taken to make sure that you have the right Invisalign®
blueprint. You will wear your Invisalign® trays for 22 hours each day, removing
when you eat and drink.
With Invisalign® you will see your dentist
every 6 weeks to make sure your plan is going as per the schedule. You will
swap out your aligners every 7 to 14 days depending on your dentist’s
instructions.
Mail Order Braces or Invisalign®?
Mail order braces are just like anything you
order online except you need an expert to take you through the process. With
mail order braces, you will rarely if ever have access to a dentist.
Invisalign® isn’t for everyone and if you
aren’t a fit, your Corona Invisalign® dentist will set you straight.
Sadly, anyone can order braces online. If you
follow this blog, you will know that clear braces won’t work for teeth that are
severely rotated or tipped or for people with bad over and under bites.

the safe way to straighten teeth, call and schedule an appointment with your
