Are you in need of straighter teeth, but do not want to go through with metal, bulky braces? Many adults would enjoy a straighter, more attractive smile, but the thought of traditional, bulky braces, convinces many people that they can do without treatment. With advances in treatment and technology, straighter teeth are within reach. Patients who are in search of a straighter smile can turn to the fast acting Invisalign for straighter teeth without the bulk. Traditional, metal braces can often be associated with childhood, which makes straightening your smile more difficult as an adult or teen. With Invisalign, no one will be able to tell that you are wearing your aligners, making them great options for adults and teens who want to straighten their teeth without altering their lifestyle. If you are a candidate for Invisalign, you can improve your smile's appearance discreetly while straightening your teeth and continuing with your busy schedule. Invisalign Begins Working Immediately Because of its discreetness, convenience and comfort, Invisalign has quickly become the solution of choice for adults wanting to straighten their teeth. Using a series of clear, removable, custom-made aligners, you can gradually straighten your teeth over the course of several weeks. With advanced 3-D computer imaging technology, your dentist can accurately depict the complete Invisalign treatment plan before beginning treatment. The use of computer imaging allows your dentist in Montebello and West Covina to easily and conveniently map out the entire course of your treatment. Through this, your dentist can also project tooth movement for every phase of Invisalign- starting with the initial position of your teeth and ending with the final desired outcome. Your dentist will dispense your aligners in groups of one or two at a time during your regular check-ups, so that your treatment process is properly managed. Each aligner should be worn for the specific amount of time indicated by your dentist and must be worn for about two weeks. During this time period, your teeth will move in small increments of about .25 millimeters to .33 millimeters. Treatment time will depend on the specific alignment problem you may have. Benefits of Using Invisalign Unlike conventional braces, Invisalign is virtually invisible and easy to remove. With Invisalign, your teeth will change, but your lifestyle won't. Want to enjoy a night out with friends without your trays? No problem. As long as you wear your aligners for the required number of hours every day, you will have the flexibility to remove your aligners as needed. Other benefits of Invisalign include: • Virtually invisible trays make it difficult to notice you're undergoing treatment
• Convenient, removable trays allow you to eat, drink, brush and floss normally
• Compared to metal braces, Invisalign trays are made of soft plastic which reduces irritation of your gums
• 3-D computer imaging technology allows you to visualize the final outcome of your teeth alignment
• With no need for routine adjustments, such as tightening, fewer dental appointments are needed during the course of treatment. Talk with your dentist in West Covina and Montebello to find out if you are a good candidate for Invisalign. With Invisalign, you can achieve a straight smile that you have always desired without anyone knowing. You'll see results faster and less painfully than with traditional braces, allowing you to enjoy the things you love without altering your lifestyle.
