Straighten Your Smile with Invisalign: The Clear Alternative to Braces

Are you unhappy with your crooked teeth but balk at having to wear traditional metal braces? Invisalign can be the solution you’ve been looking for! Invisalign is an alternative to braces that can discreetly straighten your teeth. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how Invisalign works, the benefits of using Invisalign, and how you can get started with this popular teeth straightening method at Brighter Smile in Jefferson Park.

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign is a revolutionary system that utilizes a series of custom-made, removable aligners to straighten teeth. These aligners are made of a smooth, comfortable, and nearly invisible plastic worn over the teeth. Invisalign has become a popular choice for those who want to improve the look of their smile without the discomfort and appearance of traditional metal braces. The aligners are also removable, making brushing and flossing your teeth and eating your favorite foods easier.

How does Invisalign work?

The gradual movement of teeth into their correct position is achieved through a set of custom-made aligners. At the start of your treatment, our dentist will make an impression of your teeth and create a 3D model of your smile. This model will be used to customize your treatment plan.

Once your treatment plan has been created, you’ll receive a set of custom-made aligners. Each aligner must be worn for about two weeks before switching to the next aligner in the series. The aligners gradually move your teeth into their correct position. You must visit our dentist every six to eight weeks to monitor your progress.

What are the advantages of Invisalign? 

• Invisalign aligners fit snugly and comfortably around the teeth, gently and gradually shifting them into the correct position.
• The aligners are nearly invisible, providing a discreet orthodontic option and allowing patients to avoid the unsightly appearance of metal brackets and wires.
• There are no dietary restrictions with Invisalign, allowing patients to enjoy all their favorite foods.
• Invisalign treatment is convenient, providing the same results as braces without the aggravation of traditional orthodontics.
• Invisalign treatment time is often shorter than braces, with an average treatment time of around 12 months.
• Patients can maintain better oral hygiene with Invisalign, as the removable aligners allow easy brushing and flossing.
• Invisalign exerts less pressure and discomfort than traditional braces, making it more comfortable.
• Patients require fewer check-up appointments with Invisalign, typically every six to eight weeks, instead of once every four weeks with braces.

Who is a good candidate for Invisalign?

Invisalign can be a fantastic option for many people but may only be suitable for some. During your consultation, our dentist can decide if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign. Invisalign is best suited for adults and teens with mild to moderate dental issues such as gaps, overcrowding, and minor bite issues.
