Did you struggle through your childhood with a crooked smile? Have you been considering adult orthodontics but just couldn't picture yourself in braces? Now there is an easy, convenient and invisible way to straighten your smile from Dr. Emil Villaroman at Modesto Smiles.
What Exactly is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a very special, patented system designed to invisibly straighten teeth. Invisalign can help with almost any alignment issue that traditional orthodontics would be prescribed for including, crowding of teeth, gaps, an overbite, under bite or an open bite.
How Does Invisalign Work?
Unlike traditional braces, the Invisalign system uses no brackets and no unsightly metal wire. Instead, Invisalign invisible braces are a series of clear, custom made aligners designed to fit snugly round teeth and move them into their correct position and proper alignment through gentle controlled force. We replace the aligners every few weeks with a new set as your teeth move into place, and in approximately a year, you have beautiful, even teeth!
How Is Invisalign Customized for Me?
We use precision impressions, photographs, advanced 3D modeling software and the experts at the Invisalign labs to ensure proper fit and function.
After we take impressions, they will be digitized so that Dr. Villaroman can digitally create your treatment plan. He will map and plan the movement of your teeth throughout the program for optimal precision in a minimum amount of time. We can even show you how your teeth will look before, during and after treatment!
What are the Benefits of Invisalign over Traditional Orthodontics?
While Invisalign may not work for severe cases, most patients find that they are candidates for Invisalign treatment. If you are a candidate, the benefits you can expect are plentiful. The most obvious benefit is that Invisalign is almost invisible in your smile. Invisalign aligners are also smooth and comfortable and will not cause the cuts, chafing and abrading that braces sometimes cause. You can even remove our aligners. That means you can continue your oral care regime as usual with no changes in your brushing and flossing habits, eat whatever you want without concern and even take them out for a special occasion.
