For years, the only real option for straightening teeth has been metal orthodontics. While many people desire a straighter smile, the thought of having a mouth full of metal may cause them to think otherwise about seeking treatment.
If you wish to improve your smile, Invisalign may be the treatment for you. Using both computer technology and orthodontic principles, Invisalign can now help improve smiles without the dreaded “metal mouth”. Instead of brackets and wires, Invisalign works by using a series of clear, removable aligners to move your teeth into the ideal position. In a stepwise fashion, teeth move in sequence with the computer designed fit of the aligners. Each aligner is worn for two weeks, and removed only for eating, brushing and flossing.
The major benefits of Invisalign are esthetics and oral hygiene. Since the aligners are clear, they are virtually undetectable when worn. Also, since the aligners are removable, better oral hygiene can be achieved by brushing and flossing than compared with the hygiene problems that typically arise from treatment with metal braces.
