Invisalign® Teeth Aligners
Your smile is often the first thing that people notice. Patients often tell us that their crowding, gaps between teeth or crooked teeth impact their self-esteem. Invisalign® is a great way to achieve the smile you have always wanted. Through a sequence of clear aligners, we can optimize your bite, straighten your teeth and make you feel confident about your smile.
The Benefits of Invisalign®
With Invisalign®, we can treat many types of bite discrepancies including:
- crowding
- spacing
- overbite
- underbite
- crossbite
Typically, Invisalign® is reserved for patients with mild to moderate orthodontic cases as we are usually only moving teeth by a few millimeters. Invisalign® is especially a great option for those patients who may have had braces in the past, but have since had some tooth movement occur after the braces have been removed. Patients with healthy teeth and gums, however, are often ideal candidates for Invisalign®.
One advantage about these clear aligners is that you do not need to be self-conscious about wearing traditional metal brackets and wires. Since the aligners are clear and fit your teeth as naturally as possible, it allows you to live your day to day as normal without taking a hit to your social life. To achieve best results, it is recommended that you wear the clear aligners for at least 22 hours a day, only taking them out when you eat, brush and floss your teeth.
