If you’re looking to straighten your teeth and gain more confidence in your smile, Invisalign may be for you.
At Golden Heart Dental, we proudly offer Invisalign treatment for adults and teenagers who struggle with crooked teeth and don’t like the idea of having to wear traditional metal braces for years on end.
Invisalign is an innovative, relatively new method of straightening teeth just as effectively as traditional braces (sometimes more so) without forcing patients to contend with the hassles that come with wearing metal braces.
By utilizing a series of clear, removable trays that are specifically designed to fit each patient’s mouth perfectly, Invisalign aims to empower patients to straighten their teeth discreetly and with added conveniences traditional treatments lack.
This alignment system works quite simply; every couple of weeks, switching from one set of trays to the next acts in much the same way traditional braces do, slowly moving the teeth into their desired position over time.
The key difference between metal braces and this new alignment method is that Invisalign is a more attractive, convenient, and timely option.
Benefits of Invisalign
Patients often prefer Invisalign to traditional braces for many reasons, including convenience. You can continue to eat your favorite foods without any restrictions because trays can easily be removed before meals and snacks. You can also brush and floss your teeth normally, without having to work around wires and brackets. The trays themselves can be cleaned gently with lukewarm water.
Invisalign is ideal for teenagers because it requires no sharp brackets. Athletes can continue to play contact sports without worrying about mouth injuries. Young people can have greater confidence in the appearance of their teeth, due to Invisalign being almost completely invisible.
Additionally, for parents’ peace of mind, compliance indicators will ensure teens are wearing the aligner trays as instructed by their dentist.
How Long Does Invisalign Take?
Treatment duration varies based on a patient’s needs, but Invisalign usually takes 12 to 18 months for teeth to straighten completely. To keep the treatment duration as short as possible, it’s essential that the trays are only removed for eating and drinking.
