More and more people are beginning to realize the benefits of a straight, beautiful smile, and although metal braces have proven effective, most adults don’t want to compromise their professional image. Now, there is a modern alternative to traditional orthodontics, Invisalign clear braces.
Invisalign clear braces are acrylic, removable aligners that gradually shift teeth into their optimal position. With Invisalign, the dentist can correct a variety of problems, including overbites, under bites, cross bites, wide spacing, and crowding. The dentist will design the aligners using 3D, digital imaging technology. He’ll send this information to an Invisalign laboratory, where your custom clear braces will be created.
Invisalign clear braces are completely transparent, so no one will be able to tell that you’re wearing them. You can also take them out to brush, floss, and for any special occasions. The aligners are also more comfortable than traditional braces, because they won’t cause the mouth abrasions typically associated with metal-and-bracket braces.
Most adults are candidates for Invisalign clear braces. However, if we feel that you would benefit from the care of a specialist, we will refer you to an orthodontist with whom we have a good rapport. The dentist will evaluate your unique case to determine the course of action in your situation.
