Consider The Wonders Of Invisalign
Invisalign braces are a modern solution to the age-old dental problem of crooked and misaligned teeth. Here we take a look at what these clear removable aligners are all about.
Invisalign braces are a modern means of straightening teeth and helping them to look their best. These new type of braces are custom made for each patient. They are removable,
comfortable, and practically invisible. This method of teeth straightening works on children, teenagers and adults and is a good choice for those who do not want to feel embarrassed by having a mouth full of metal.
Invisalign consists of a series or aligners that move the teeth into position in a gentle and gradual manner. While there is still likely to be a degree of discomfort associated with these invisible braces, it will not be as noticeable because the aligners can be taken out of the mouth.
The old metal braces were fixed in place and adhered to the teeth until the day when they were to come off. For many people this could take years! This new advancement in teeth straightening technology makes for ultra-comfortable braces that are not rough or difficult in their approach to realigning the teeth. Think of them as a milder approach to restoring your healthy smile.
Invisalign can be taken out of the mouth for the purposes of eating, drinking, brushing the teeth and flossing. You can wear them when you are sleeping but if there is a night when you are not feeling well then you can remove them. You can also take them out for a special occasion, such as a date, a job interview, a graduation or a wedding. It is important that you wear them more often than you don't. When you get these braces you should be committed to wearing them for 20 hours a day. The less you take them out the better.
It would be wonderful if everyone who needed braces could be fitted with Invisalign braces but unfortunately these braces are not right for every case. To know if they are the best option for you, you must visit an experienced and qualified cosmetic dentist. The dental practitioner will examine your teeth carefully and will let you know whether you are a good candidate for this treatment or whether you are a better fit for metal braces.
At the initial consultation you will be able to ask all of the questions that you need to. The dentist will then use up-to-date 3D technology to create comfortable and removable aligners that are customized to fit your teeth. These aligners will model your teeth as time goes by.
Some dental issues are easier to correct with Invisalign than are others. These clear braces may fix overcrowded teeth, in the same way that widely spaced teeth can also be fixed. Cross bites, which is a misalignment of the upper and lower jaw can bring about loss of bone and gum disease. This is another problem that can be repaired with aligners. Overbites and under bites can also be corrected by a dental provider who uses aligners on his patients.
