Invisalign Invisible Braces

A lot of adults who have the desire to straighten their teeth are not exactly crazy about the idea of braces.In fact, when most people hear the word “braces” they think of a mouth full of metal, unsightly and painful wires, bands and embarrassment.If you require braces or are thinking about straightening your teeth, but do not want to go through the problems associated with traditional braces, consider Invisalign.
Invisalign is a treatment that many people are now familiar with and is becoming a popular treatment option in many general and orthodontic dental offices.Invisalign is a system that is made up of aligners that are made from clear plastic.This allows you to conceal your orthodontic treatment, instead of the traditional metal braces.
The treatment is made up of a series of aligners that are custom made for each individual.Computers control every step of the process.Each set of aligners that you wear will slightly and comfortably alter the look and alignment of your teeth. These steps help you achieve your goal of having a beautiful and healthy smile.
Another positive aspect of Invisalign is that it is made up of removable aligners.Unlike traditional braces, you can remove the aligners to eat, drink, brush, and floss, which is why dental professionals prefer Invisalign. Metal and ceramic wire braces make it difficult for patients to keep their mouth clean. Flossing alone can take a patient up to 15 minutes, while trying to thread the floss through each wire. Unfortunately, many patients are found to have severe gingivitis and numerous cavities after having their braces removed due to poor brushing an oral hygiene while the braces are in place.
If you have overly crowded teeth, wide spaces, an under bite, or even just a few teeth that are slightly turned you could be a good candidate for Invisalign. Now, not all people are good candidates, but a visit to a dental or orthodontic practice that uses Invisalign can help determine if it is right for you.
