subject: Houston Invisalign May Be The Perfect Solution For You [print this page] If you are looking for Houston Invisalign treatment, dentist Dr. Johnny Taylor, DDS can get you started immediately. Invisalign braces straighten your teeth with no wires or brackets. It uses multiple sets of clear removable retainers that Invisalign calls aligners. Almost no one will be able to tell that you're wearing your aligners, leaving you free to enjoy a professional and personal life while undergoing your teeth straightening procedure. When you reach the end of your aligners, all of your teeth issues will be corrected and you will be left with a straight and beautiful smile.
You will first come to our office where you will meet with Dr. Taylor so he can analyze your mouth for any problems, including crooked teeth and bite issues. If Dr. Taylor determines you are a good Houston Invisalign candidate, 3-D molds of your teeth will be created using high-tech computer graphics. The 3-D molds will be used to create your set of aligners, from as little as 12 aligners to as many as 48. You will wear each set for approximately 2 weeks and then switch to the next set. Each pair of aligners moves your teeth a small amount, and when you reach the end of all of your aligners you will be smiling perfectly.
You must wear your Houston Invisalign aligners nearly all of the time for them to work effectively. You may take them out to eat and brush your teeth, but it is recommended that you wear the aligners for at least 22 to 23 hours a day. You should clean your aligners by brushing them once or twice a day with regular toothpaste. Do not eat or drink any foods or liquids other than water with your Invisalign aligners in your mouth. To do so would stain, bend or crack your aligners. After your Invisalign treatment is completed, you may be interested in other Houston dental work.
For example, you may be interested in having your teeth whitened once they are completely straight, to finish off the beauty of your new smile. Dr. Johnny Taylor is an expert at whitening teeth and can perform this procedure for you in addition to your Houston Invisalign process. If you would like to learn more about Invisalign and how the process works, please contact Dr. Taylor at his Woodlands cosmetic dentistry center at your convenience. We look forward to meeting you and getting you on the road to your perfect smile!
