Invisalign® Candidates
Invisalign® is a teeth alignment treatment. Many patients prefer the Invisalign® system to traditional metal braces because of the increased comfort and convenience, as well as the discreet nature of the Invisalign® system.
How does Invisalign® work?
The Invisalign® system utilizes a series of customized clear plastic aligners to achieve teeth straightening. Every few weeks, you receive the next set of aligners in your personal treatment series, which gradually work to move your teeth into the desired positions.
Why use Invisalign®?
There are many benefits associated with the Invisalign® system. First, it is a highly effective teeth straightening treatment. Secondly, it is a comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces. Additionally, it is extremely convenient because the clear aligners are removable for eating and brushing. Finally, because the aligners are clear, no one has to know you are using them!
Who are ideal candidates for Invisalign®?
Most people who are concerned about tooth alignment issues make good candidates for Invisalign®. However, individuals with severe misalignment may be better suited to traditional orthodontic treatments. During your consultation, your dentist will evaluate your needs and help determine which treatment option is right for you.
Are there other ways to improve misalignment?
Porcelain veneers are quickly becoming a popular treatment option for patients who wish to improve misalignment but who do not want to undergo lengthy orthodontic treatments. With porcelain veneers, you can not only correct alignment concerns but also address discoloration, chips, and cracks – often is an little as two office visits.
