Say Goodbye to Traditional Braces! Are you looking for a way to straighten your crooked teeth? Traditional braces with their metal wires and brackets can be uncomfortable and unfortunate looking, but the good news is, with Invisalign clear aligners, there’s a new and improved way to straighten teeth.
Invisalign Treatment in Dallas
Conventional braces can call a lot of attention to your teeth. But with these clear aligners, moving your teeth can be very discreet, and almost invisible! Orthodontic treatment has never looked better. Invisalign technology in Dallas, Texas is the perfect option for those looking for the latest in smile alignment without the ugly metal!
The Process of Invisalign
The first step is setting up an appointment to meet with our in-office, trained, Invisalign provider. They will use a special, three-dimensional scanner to take a detailed scan of your teeth. Using these images, a treatment plan will be drawn up to help get your teeth into their proper place. Treatment times vary depending on your specific wants and needs. Typical this treatment is shorter than the treatment time for traditional metal braces. For example, most Invisalign treatments can be completed in a year.
Once we receive the clear aligners in our Dallas dental office, we will invite you back to try on the aligners. Then, we will ask you to come back to Preston Commons Dental Care every one to two weeks for a new set of clear aligners. With each setting of clear aligners, your teeth will be closer and closer to achieving your dream smile. Our dentist, Dr. Moseley, recommends that patients wear their clear aligners for 22 hours a day for the best results. The only times patients should remove their aligners are eating or cleaning their teeth.
What are the Benefits of Invisalign?
As mentioned above, many patients choose clear aligners because they can discreetly straighten their teeth. Invisalign can treat common orthodontic concerns such as misaligned teeth and bite problems.
Another reason that patients love Invisalign is because of the comfort. Compared to traditional metal braces, clear aligners are more comfortable because no metal brackets or archwires are pressing against the soft tissues in your mouth. Often with conventional braces, patients use wax to mitigate the discomfort. Invisalign is more comfortable than traditional metal braces. They are also more comfortable than other clear aligners. Invisalign uses SmartTrack technology that increases comfort while wearing the aligns and removing and placing the aligners.
Patients also love it because they have the freedom to eat the foods they like. Patients are asked not to eat hard, sticky, and chewy foods with traditional metal braces because they can damage the braces. Additionally, these foods can get stuck in the braces and cause decay to form. With Invisalign, patients remove their braces, allowing them to eat the foods they like.
Patients also experience better oral health. It is hard for patients to properly clean their teeth with traditional metal braces because the appliances are bulky. With Invisalign, patients can remove their aligners to perform oral care. Additionally, patients can receive dental treatments, such as dental fillings, during their Invisalign treatment if necessary. Many patients have dental cavities and gum disease following traditional metal braces treatment. However, patients with Invisalign often do not experience this.
