A smile says a lot about a person. Not to mention the condition and appearance of your teeth has a significant impact on your own self-confidence. Thanks to advances in dentistry today, achieving the smile you've always wanted has never been easier with Invisalign. For crooked teeth, traditional braces have been effective in the past. But many people, especially adults, don't like the idea of noticeable wires and brackets, nor the discomfort and inconvenience that accompany this orthodontic treatment. Using a series of clear, removable, custom-made aligners, the Invisalign system will gradually shift your teeth to their desired position over a period of time. Invisalign is quickly becoming the most comfortable, convenient and discreet teeth straightening option available. The Invisalign Process Invisalign is one of the newest and most popular ways to straighten your smile without wearing traditional, bulky metal braces, making it the preferred solution of choice for adults. Using a series of clear, removable custom-made trays, you can discreetly and gradually straighten and align your teeth over the course of several weeks. After approximately two weeks, the aligners are replaced with the next series of trays, gradually shifting your teeth until the desired position is reached. Each set of trays is perfectly designed to gradually move your teeth toward their final position. Additionally, Invisalign offers the ability to accurately depict a complete treatment plan for each patient using advanced 3-D computer imaging technology. This allows your dentist in Maple Grove to map out your entire course of treatment and project tooth movement for every phase of the process- starting with the initial position of your teeth and ending with final desired position. The Benefits of Invisalign are Clear Invisalign has become the preferred method of teeth straightening for over a million people worldwide, and for good reason. With Invisalign, you can adjust your smile without altering your life thanks to the invisible and removable aligners. No one has to know you are undergoing treatment unless you tell them, and the removable aligners give you the flexibility to eat, brush and enjoy your everyday activities as normal. Invisalign works for teens, too. Almost identical to the adult Invisalign aligners, Invisalign Teen aligners are crafted for a teen's growing adult molars to ensure a perfect fit. Invisalign is made of smooth plastic, making this a comfortable solution for straightening your teeth. This allows active teens to play sports without worrying about cutting their mouth and gums on the pointy metal wires and brackets. A Straight Smile is a Healthy Smile Invisalign has proven to be an effective treatment for a wide range of dental and orthodontic problems, including crowded teeth, widely spaced teeth, crossbites, overbites and underbites. But 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 A major health benefit of Invisalign is the ease in which you can care for your teeth during treatment. With traditional orthodontic braces, brushing around brackets, bands and wires can be a difficult task, allowing food to easily become trapped and 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 health throughout the entire process. Don't put off straightening your teeth any longer. With Invisalign, you can comfortably and conveniently achieve an improved smile without the hassle and discomfort of traditional orthodontic braces. Better yet, Invisalign is invisible, and that means no one has to know about the treatment but you. Talk to your dentist in Maple Grove at your next appointment and find out if Invisalign is right for you or your teen.
