INVISALIGN BRACES
When people think about going to the orthodontist to have traditional braces installed, they are reminded of the big chunks of steel and unsightly wire that they are going to have to wear for an extended period of time. They know that they will have to endure frequent, painful and time consuming visits with the orthodontist for what may seem like endless adjustments to pull their teeth into alignment.
They experience anxiety when they think about what other people will think of all the metal in their mouth. For these reasons and more, anyone who is in need of having their teeth adjusted by the orthodontist may want to look at the Invisalign braces system.
Invisalign braces are the new, discrete way to realign your smile while having the least amount of impact on your personal and social life.
Invisalign incorporates the use of a series of clear aligner trays that are worn by the patient over a period of time and are virtually invisible. The Invisalign trays are removable for eating, brushing and flossing and any other situation that may be necessary. Because the Invisalign system is removable people are able to practice their normal oral hygiene habits.
Invisalign trays are clear and virtually invisible so many people will not notice that you are going through orthodontics treatment. Invisalign doesn’t disrupt your lifestyle like traditional braces can and if you should find yourself in a situation where you would like to remove them, it’s as simple as pulling them out.
Invisalign works like traditional braces in that over a period of time, the teeth are pulled or aligned into the desired position. But instead or going to the orthodontist for painful braces tightening, with Invisalign you simply wear an aligner for about 2 weeks. After the two weeks are up, you discard the aligner and move on to the next one. The course of the Invisalign aligner treatment is actually created using a computer to generate the gradual path that your teeth would need to take to achieve the desired look. Each tray is custom designed to place the teeth along that plotted course as decided by the patient and the orthodontist.
With the Invisalign system, it is not necessary to go to your orthodontist every two weeks. You and your orthodontist decide when to have follow-up visits depending on your progress with the Invisalign system.
Invisalign has been making orthodontics treatment much easier for many patients over the last few years and discussing the option with your orthodontist would be the first step in receiving the proven treatment program.
