Many adults would enjoy a straighter, more attractive smile, but the thought of traditional, bulky braces, however, 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. New dental technology in the last decade has brought forth a more advanced and much more discreet method for achieving a straighter smile. Also known as Invisalign, this increasingly popular teeth straightening system can be used to correct a wide range of dental problems, including overbites, underbites and crossbites. How does Invisalign Work? Because of its discreetness, convenience and comfort, Invisalign has quickly become the solution of choice for adults. Using a series of clear, removable, custom-made trays, you can gradually straighten and align 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. This allows your dentist in Orland Park to map out your entire course of treatment and project tooth movement for every phase of Invisalign- starting with the initial position of your teeth and ending with the final desired outcome. The process is easy. Simply replace your aligners approximately every two weeks with your next series of trays, slowly repositioning your teeth. Each series of aligners is perfectly designed by your dentist to move your teeth over the course of treatment toward their final, desired position. Why Invisalign? Unlike conventional braces, Invisalign is virtually invisible and easily removable. With Invisalign, your teeth will change, but your lifestyle doesn't have to. Want to enjoy a night out without your trays? No problem. As long as you wear your aligners for the required number of hours every day, you'll 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. Treatment time for Invisalign varies depending on each individual patient's case, but generally is completed between 9-15 months. Talk with your dentist in Orland Park and find out if you are a good candidate. With Invisalign, you can achieve the straight smile you want without anyone knowing. You'll see results faster and less painfully than with traditional braces. And even better, you can continue to enjoy the things you love without altering your lifestyle.
