subject: Invisalign – Setting Smiles Straight Without Metal Braces! [print this page] Invisalign Setting Smiles Straight Without Metal Braces!
Many adults look in the mirror every day and wonder why on earth their parents didn't get them braces. Others feel upset every time they floss because their teeth have shifted back into their pre-braces position. And still others hide their smiles whenever a camera comes out because their teeth are gapped and misaligned. But braces aren't for grown-ups, are they?
Actually, a large percentage of orthodontic patients are adults who either need braces to correct malocclusion or who want straighter teeth for cosmetic reasons. But traditional orthodontics isn't for everyone. If you have wanted straighter teeth but do not want metal braces, we have a solution that is virtually invisible Invisalign clear dental aligners.
What is Invisalign and am I a Candidate?
Invisalign dental aligners work on the same principles as regular braces. Both apply directed pressure to guide your teeth into their desired position. The major difference between traditional braces and Invisalign braces is that Invisalign aligners are much less visible in your smile. They are also removable so wearers can eat almost anything without worrying about food getting stuck or breaking the wires.
Patients can remove the aligners to brush and floss allowing them to continue with their oral hygiene routine in a much more normal fashion. Invisalign also allows you to continue with your lifestyle in a normal way you can play any instrument, continue your sporting activities and even take the aligners out for a date or special occasion.
Invisalign braces are quite comfortable. There are no wires in Invisalign, and instead of visits for tightening, we simply exchange your aligner for the next in the set.
Invisalign tooth aligners are ideal for almost any dental patients that qualify for braces, especially those who have mild to moderate issues, such as patients who :
Have crowded teeth
Have spaced teeth
Have an overbite, under bite or cross bite
We create your custom Invisalign aligners by taking molds and pictures of your teeth. We then work with computer technology to develop a series of precision aligners that will work together, one after the other, to get your teeth straight, beautiful and comfortable all without disrupting your life!
