Have you ever wondered if there was a way to get straighter teeth without the discomfort and commitment of metal braces? Well now there is! Invisalign clear braces are an innovative and beautiful way to get your smile straighter more quickly, more comfortably and much more aesthetically than traditional braces.
Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?
Do you ever cover your mouth when you smile? Do you worry constantly over a gap or crooked teeth? Are you an adult who had orthodontic treatment but your teeth have shifted back out of place? Then you are probably a great candidate for Invisalign braces.
Invisalign can be used for patients with gapped, widely spaced or crowded teeth; to correct an overbite or a cross bite and to adjust mild misalignment.
How Does the Invisalign System Work?
Invisalign aligners are precision tools created to gently and effectively move your teeth into their optimal position with continuous pressure. They work on the same principles as traditional braces but instead of wires and brackets, they use a series of smooth plastic aligners.
You and Dr. Tomase will discuss your treatment goals and decide how you want your teeth to look. Then, Dr. Tomase will take a mold of your teeth and send these molds to the Invisalign labs where your customized set of aligners will be created. Each Invisalign aligner is precision crafted using the doctor's specifications and a special computerized cad/cam devise similar to the devise used by many jewelers.
Once your Invisalign aligners return from the lab, your treatment will begin. You will wear each aligner in the set for about two weeks replacing the aligner as your teeth move into place.
What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?
Because Invisalign braces are not bonded to your teeth, they can be removed for eating and for dental hygiene. This means that your teeth will stay cleaner and brighter with no messy food particles stuck in them. The aligners can also be removed for a special date or other occasion. And if you play an instrument, speak publically or are involved in sports, Invisalign lets you continue your activities as usual without any interruption or inconvenience.
Because the Invisalign system takes less time than traditional orthodontics and can be removed, many people use Invisalign to prepare for an occasion such as a wedding. Some couples even start Invisalign treatment as part of their preparation for their special day. Invisalign aligners can also be used to hold prescription whiteners so you can whiten as you straighten. When the course of treatment is complete, you'll have a straight white smile you will be proud to show the world!
