Do you need orthodontic treatment but worry about the impact that traditional metal braces will have on your smile? At Premier Dental, we understand that it can be discouraging for adults to think about the prospect of living with unattractive metal braces for long periods of time. Invisalign clear aligners are an adult orthodontic treatment that that straightens teeth quickly and comfortably.
Our goal is to provide you with treatments that enhance your appearance and improve your oral health. Invisalign is a perfect example of a treatment that does both. With Invisalign, you can have the beautiful, healthy smile you’ve always wanted without the inconvenience of traditional metal braces.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign is a progressive system of clear plastic aligners that gradually shift teeth into their ideal positions. The aligners are smooth and comfortable, virtually invisible when worn, and completely removable for eating, brushing, and flossing.
When you choose Invisalign, Dr. Simanovich begins planning your treatment using three-dimensional digital images of your jaw. These highly detailed images allow our doctors to move specific teeth on the screen and view the jaw from different angles.
This technology also shows you how your Invisalign aligners will change and improve your appearance. When the planning stage is complete, a customized set of aligners is created. After we receive your set of custom aligners, we will instruct you on how to use and care for them.
A Difference You Can See and Feel
One advantage of using Invisalign is that you can actually see and feel the progress as your teeth gradually move into correct alignment. When you first start wearing your new aligners, you may notice that they are snug and don’t seem to quite fit your teeth perfectly. This is because each set of aligners is designed to gently coax your teeth into position as treatment advances.
After a couple of weeks, you will notice that your aligners feel like they’re getting looser. This is progress in action as you move to the next set of aligners.
Benefits of Invisalign
Our patients love the positive results they see after Invisalign treatment, but aesthetics are not the only advantage:
• Since Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, flexible plastic, they are much more comfortable than traditional metal braces.
• Invisalign aligners can be removed for brushing, flossing, and eating.
• Oral hygiene is more effective than with metal braces since there are no wires or brackets where food particles can become lodged.
• The aligners are easily removed for sports where a protective mouth guard is required.
The whole Invisalign process is streamlined and efficient; treatment times are reduced, and we schedule in-office visits at convenient four-week intervals so we can monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments.
Most importantly, our Invisalign team uses these aligners to improve the beauty and the health of your smile. With Invisalign, you can achieve an even and stable dental bite—which helps prevent premature dental deterioration and wear and tear.
