Are you your best investment? Absolutely…. no matter what has gone on in the past a confident bright smile can happen. Improving your smile has so many benefits that many patients are undergoing treatment.
What is Invisalign? Invisalign is a series of “aligners” (clear retainers) that you switch out about every two weeks. Each of these aligners is manufactured to move your teeth in very small increments (0.25mm or less)
Benefits of Invisalign
q It is removable
q It is customized for you
q The aligners are very comfortable
q The aligners are clear and “nearly” invisible
q They are comfortable
q They allow you to brush and floss normally
q Invisalign has no metal brackets or wires
Invisalign not only has cosmetic advantages but it promotes dental health. Straighter teeth that are well aligned are much easier to brush and floss. These advantages “can” include:
q Reduction in cavities especially between your teeth because plaque and calculus is easier to remove on straight teeth.
q Your gums can become much healthier. Gum disease (periodontal disease) can be worsened by teeth that are crowded or too widely spaced.
q Since you can remove these aligners it is much easier to brush and floss when compared to traditional braces. With traditional braces you need to use floss threader to get under the arch wire which most patients feel is time consuming…less effective… and frustrating.,
q Since Invisalign does not use metal bands and wires food does not trap as easily. It makes your cleanings (prophys) go easier as well as reduce the risk of plaque buildup… tooth decay and gum disease (periodontal disease).
