Today there are many choices when it comes to correcting a misaligned smile. An increasingly popular option is Invisalign-a virtually invisible way to gradually straighten your teeth over a period of time. Invisalign is proven to correct a variety of dental issues, including overbites, underbites and crossbites. It is also successful at treating crowded or too widely spaced teeth.
Your Bloomfield dentist can create a series of clear aligners designed to fit your teeth perfectly at each stage of treatment. Together, you and your experienced Invisalign dentist can determine a treatment plan for your specific needs, goals and expectations.
Clear
The most obvious advantage of Invisalign is aesthetics. Since the aligners are transparent, the Invisalign treatment is far more difficult to detect than traditional wire and bracket braces. This makes the treatment particularly popular among adults who want to straighten their teeth without the look of traditional metal orthodontic braces. With discreet Invisalign aligners, the fear of “metal mouth” doesn’t have to be an issue. Many adults will agree that the greatest benefit of Invisalign is the discreetness of the clear and virtually invisible trays. Invisalign is the perfect option for correcting teeth without anyone noticing.
Comfortable
The sharp wires and brackets used in traditional braces can be uncomfortable and painful for your lips and gums, but Invisalign aligners are made of soft plastic so you don’t have to worry about cutting your mouth on pointy brackets. And since metal and wires aren’t used for Invisalign, you’ll spend less time visiting your dentist for adjustments.
Convenience
Invisalign alters your smile, not your life. The removable aligners provide the flexibility you need to enjoy the things you love, when you want. Special occasion or a work presentation? Simply remove the trays. As long as you wear the aligners for the required number of hours every day, you’ll have the flexibility to remove your aligners as needed.
Caring for your teeth and gums is also more convenient with Invisalign. With traditional orthodontic braces, brushing around brackets, bands and wires can be a difficult task, and food can easily accumulate along the gum line. With removable Invisalign aligners, you’ll have the ability to take out the trays for normal brushing and flossing, ensuring your teeth stay healthy throughout the entire process.
The benefits of straightening crooked teeth are more far-reaching than just cosmetic improvements. Aside from aesthetic reasons, straighter teeth can improve your health and overall quality of life. Straight teeth are less prone to decay, because they collect less plaque-the sticky colorless substance that forms on our teeth and leads to tooth decay. They are also easier to keep clean. Not to mention that a properly aligned smile can improve your normal day to day functions like chewing and speaking as well.
The convenience and ease of use of the Invisalign system has made it the teeth-straightening choice of over half a million people. Invisalign offers comfort, convenience and virtual invisibility and that translates to achieving an incredible smile without disrupting your lifestyle.
