Are you one of those people who need orthodontic intervention, but have not come to the realization that it is truly necessary? Maybe you are a teenager and you think you will not be accepted by your friends as much if you have metal throughout your mouth? Maybe you think it is too late to fix your teeth right now? And if it is too late, it would be too inconvenient, too time consuming and, most of all, just uncomfortable. Several years ago, your Stratford CT Dentist would tell that you were right.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a fantastic and revolutionary method of straightening teeth. In a nutshell, it is a new way of moving teeth, with which dentists can solve gaping, alignment or crooked teeth issues. It performs exactly the same function as conventional braces. Invisalign is based on a series of transparent plastic aligners, rather than using conventional metal. These trays are less than one millimeter thick, and they are removable. Therefore, they are very comfortable. They are hardly noticeable and very comfortable to wear. You can smile with confidence, speak and communicate freely.
What is the order of execution concerning Invisalign?
Using the latest 3-D technology and simulation techniques, your dentist or orthodontist will make an image of how you want your teeth to look after treatment. Once the final image is agreed upon, the lab makes a set of aligners, which will move your teeth into the desired position. Invisalign is better than traditional braces because there are no wires or metal in your mouth. It is more comfortable and less obtrusive, which means it is a more aesthetic treatment. Another attractive aspect of Invisalign is that the aligners are created in accordance with how your teeth will look after treatment. Conventional braces require constant updating every few weeks. Invisalign works more efficiently and effectively by providing the necessary pressure without the need for adjustment. For you, this means fewer visits to the dentist.
With Invisalign, you can fix a large number of orthodontic problems. However, not everyone is suitable for this type of treatment. In fact, it is not always suitable for solving very complex problems. The best way to find out is to talk to a Stratford CT Dentist. Even if Invisalign is not for you, your dentist may recommend a more suitable form of treatment. For more information, contact Larry I Gottlieb DDS today.
