INVISALIGN® & CLEAR ALIGNER THERAPY FOR TEETH STRAIGHTENING
If you need braces and are not at all interested in the traditional bracket-and-wire systems, we offer clear aligner therapy as an alternative, such as Invisalign®! This specific treatment utilizes a series of clear aligners which discreetly straighten misaligned teeth and improve your bite function. This innovative approach has made teeth straightening more appealing and accessible to a wider range of people, both children and adults alike.
These clear aligners look like transparent retainers that fit snuggly over your teeth, like a nightguard. With simple removal, you can continue to eat your favorite foods and maintain your normal hygiene routine. Best of all, you will be able to achieve an attractive, healthy smile without the discomfort of traditional braces and without friends or family ever noticing! Simply put, Clear Aligner therapy such as Invisalign® is a good choice for those seeking an effective, convenient, and aesthetically pleasing solution for dental alignment.
Why choose Clear Aligner Therapy:
- Discreet orthodontic treatment
- No limit to your food or drink choices
- Maintain your hygiene routine
- Comfortable, custom clear aligners
- Feel confident during treatment
One of the primary advantages of Clear Aligner Therapy is its near invisibility. The clear aligners are made from a transparent plastic material, making them virtually undetectable when worn. This feature is particularly attractive to adults and teenagers who may feel self-conscious about wearing noticeable metal braces. With Clear Aligners like Invisalign®, individuals can smile and speak confidently without drawing any unnecessary attention to their orthodontic treatment. Happily maintaining a natural appearance throughout the process.
Another significant benefit of Clear Aligner treatment is the comfort it provides. Traditional braces may cause some discomfort due to the metal brackets and wires that can irritate the inside of the mouth. In contrast, Clear Aligners are smooth and custom-fitted to the teeth, reducing the likelihood of pain and soreness. Additionally, the absence of wires means fewer visits to the orthodontist for adjustments, making the treatment process more convenient and less time-consuming.
Invisalign® also offers greater flexibility and convenience in daily life. The aligners are removable, allowing individuals to eat, drink, and brush their teeth without any restrictions. This means there are no dietary limitations, unlike with braces, which require avoiding certain foods that could damage the brackets or wires. The ability to remove the aligners for oral hygiene purposes also promotes better dental health, as it is easier to clean the teeth thoroughly and prevent issues such as cavities and gum disease.
Types of issues that may be treated effectively with Clear Aligner treatment include:
- Overcrowding of teeth
- Spacing and gaps between teeth
- Misaligned bite (Overbite, Underbite, Open bite)
- Constricted palate
- Tooth wear or chipping
- Abnormal wear of tooth enamel
- Headaches
- Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ)
