You want a beautiful smile for several reasons; for one, your smile is one of the first things people notice about you, and you want to make a good impression on the world. A beautiful smile also raises your self-confidence and makes you excited to look in the mirror, so who wouldn’t want that?
If you have always wanted straight teeth but didn’t want to wear traditional metal braces because of the painful brackets and wires, then you may want to consider Invisalign clear aligners to help you achieve the beautiful smile of your dreams.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign clear aligners are custom-made for your teeth. They act as a cap on your teeth, shifting them slowly and gently into the correct position. Clear aligners are nearly invisible, and you will barely know you have them in your mouth, making them the perfect solution for many dental issues.
With Invisalign, the days of clunky metal braces are a thing of the past. You can remove your clear aligners to eat, brush, and floss your teeth, so your oral hygiene won’t suffer.
Who Can Wear Invisalign?
Candidates for Invisalign clear aligners are teens and adults with any of the following dental concerns:
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Protruding teeth
- Crowded or overlapping teeth
- Gaps or spaces between teeth
How Does Invisalign Work?
You will begin the process with an initial consultation where Dr. Milana will discuss your dental goals. If you are a candidate for Invisalign, he will take 3-D impressions of your teeth to send them to the Invisalign lab. The lab will then create a set of custom aligners designed specifically for your mouth.
Once your aligners arrive, you will wear each set of aligners for about two weeks before switching to a new set. You will wear your aligners approximately twenty-two hours a day for an average of twelve to eighteen months, depending on your treatment plan and orthodontic issues.
Once your Invisalign therapy is complete, your dentist will create a custom retainer to help your teeth stay straight.
