Are your teeth crooked or overlapping, but you are dreading the idea of having to wear traditional braces? Wearing metal braces is often associated with childhood, but never for adulthood, which causes many people to go without treatment. There is a solution to straightening your teeth that will allow you to go on with your regular lifestyle. Invisalign is invisible braces, allowing you to straighten your teeth without interrupting your everyday life. Instead of traditional wire braces, Invisalign uses a series of clear aligners that function to gradually position your teeth the exact way you want them. With the removable, invisible and comfortable aligners of Invisalign, you will achieve the straight teeth you have always wanted without anyone even knowing you are undergoing treatment. The Invisalign Process Your Invisalign certified dentist will assess your teeth and bite, in addition to making an impression of your teeth before a proper treatment plan is created for your smile. Your Invisalign treatment will consist of a series of aligners that you will switch out about every two weeks. Each aligner is individually made with the exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into the proper places. Since your treatment is custom-made to fit your teeth only, you will end up with a smile that fits. Invisalign aligners are manufactured at the Align Technologies dental laboratory using CAD/CAM processes. Your dentist will receive the aligners and typically dispenses them to you during your treatment in groups of one or two at a time during your regular check-ups. Each aligner must be worn in the specific order your dentist instructs you to and must be worn for at least 20 hours a day in order to reposition your teeth successfully. Benefits of Using Invisalign Treatment with Invisalign is discrete and comfortable. The clear aligners are created specifically for each individual patient and are completely transparent, allowing them to go unnoticed. Invisalign does not react with the gum tissue as traditional braces may do, making them comfortable to wear. Additionally, with Invisalign you can eat and clean your teeth normally. Each time you eat or brush your teeth, simply take out your aligners and replace them when finished. This allows you to maintain a proper dental hygiene regimen, as well as a healthy diet. Invisalign is an ideal choice for straightening your teeth simply for these reasons:
• You can take your aligners out to eat, brush and floss
• Change to a new set of aligners every two weeks
• Your teeth gradually move position over time
• Your progress is checked at regular intervals by your dentist
• Unnoticeable to others
• Your lifestyle will not be interrupted
• Your teeth and gums will not be irritated by metal wires or bands If you are not happy with your crooked smile, a consultation with your cosmetic dentist in Pompano Beach should be set up for further analysis.
