Do you have crooked teeth? Have you ever heard of Invisalign? It’s the future of braces, and it’s available now at our Birmingham, Michigan office.
Invisalign is a modern way to straighten your teeth without going through all the hassles of traditional braces. The clear aligners are practically invisible when you wear them, and they are very comfortable.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Metal Braces
Millions of Americans get braces every year. The metal brackets and wires can feel awkward, but it’s worth it for the fantastic results.
What if you could get the same outstanding dental results without the hassle or appearance of traditional braces? It turns out you can.
With Invisalign, you will get a perfect smile in no time. The aligners are clear and comfortable, but they are also very effective in correcting your teeth alignment. You no longer have to put up with an embarrassing mouth full of metal that comes with braces. No one will even know you’re straightening your teeth.
You need to be careful when eating hard and sticky foods with traditional braces, which can become lodged in the wires and brackets and even break them. And cleaning braces can be difficult. Invisalign is removable, so you can eat and drink whatever you want. You can also remove them when brushing your teeth, so cleaning them is a breeze.
After you’ve worn them for a while, you’ll notice a positive change in your teeth. And, unlike traditional metal braces, you won’t have to visit the office for periodic wire adjustments because Invisalign doesn’t require any wires.
Invisalign Clear Braces System
With Invisalign, you can achieve a straighter smile in as little as 12 months. You’ll love the results – we promise!
This kind of smile makeover begins by gathering important information about your teeth. Dr. Coburn or Dr. Sgalia will take three-dimensional digital scans of your teeth to create a specialized plan for improving your smile. Then several sets of customized clear aligners are designed for you, and you can start wearing them right away.
The Clear Aligners
Invisalign clear aligners are made of a very durable, unique kind of transparent and thin plastic.
Because of their slight flexibility, they are less likely to crack, break, or become otherwise damaged.
Invisalign Care
You can wear Invisalign clear aligners at all times, day and night. However, it is important to remove them when eating food or drinking something other than water. Brush your teeth and floss them before putting your aligners back.
It would be best if you also brush your aligners using a toothbrush, but use a different one from the one you used on your teeth. And instead of fluoride, use soap to clean your aligners. Then rinse them and put them back on.
The Benefits
Not only do Invisalign clear braces look great, but they have incredible health benefits as well. They can better help you avoid tooth decay periodontal disease and gain a new and improved smile.
For example, straighter teeth made possible by Invisalign will be easier to clean than they were when they were crooked. Crooked teeth include more spaces and areas where plaque and bacteria can build up, putting you more at risk for tooth decay.
And Invisalign can do more than just straighten your teeth. The clear aligners can correct bite problems such as overbite and underbite. These conditions can make it difficult for you to speak and chew your food properly, leading to more health problems down the road.
