Misaligned teeth and jaws are the basis for a number of problems affecting your overall health and well being. For many patients the thought of correcting this type oral issue with a lengthy treatment involving metal brackets, bands and wires is a daunting thought. Luckily today we have another option available... Invisaline.
Left untreated, misaligned teeth and jaws are a shortcut to a number of more severe and long lasting health problems. Periodontal disease is a common result of teeth that are either overcrowded or too widely spaced. Your gums fit more tightly around properly spaced teeth, reducing the likelihood of periodontal problems. Improperly aligned teeth also can result in both uncomfortable chewing problems and speech difficulties. And finally, improperly aligned teeth can cause additional stress wear and tear from teeth hitting at the wrong spots, setting the stage for continued problems in the future, as well as causing painful trauma to supporting bone and jaw joints.
Invisalign is a process using a series of aligners which are switched out every two weeks, and are calculated to gradually shift your teeth into their correct positions. Unlike conventional orthodontic treatments using permanent metal appliances, Invisalign is clear and virtually unnoticeable. Additionally, Invisalign is removable - for special occasions from time to time, and more importantly, for your normal brushing and flossing routine, allowing you to maintain your schedule of good oral hygiene throughout your treatment. Also, without all the metal brackets and bands, food and plaque don't get trapped as they do with conventional appliances, reducing your chances of tooth decay and periodontal disease.
With Invisalign we can treat a number of different orthodontic problems, and it is particularly beneficial for adults and teens since it fits so invisibly and seamlessly into your regular lifestyle. And, for most adults treatment time is just under a year. Invisalign is similar in cost to other orthodontic treatment programs and oftentimes falls under your insurance companies criteria for orthodonic treatments. Additionally, we offer the Care Credit plan if you wish to finance your treatment.
So, if you have avoided orthodontic treatments because of the inconvenience and major disruption to your way of life, come talk to us about Invisalign. you'll be amazed how easy it is to get those straight teeth you've always dreamed of having.
