With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, you may be paying more attention to your smile. Do you feel completely confident in your pearly whites, or are there some areas you would like to improve? Whether you want to remove stains with a whitening treatment or discuss options for straightening out your uneven teeth, our team is here to help. Today, Central Park Dentistry in Charles City, IA, is here to discuss how we can help correct misalignment with Invisalign.
Benefits Of Orthodontic Care
When you think about correcting your uneven or poorly spaced teeth, your initial concern may be your appearance. Misalignment can make your smile appear asymmetrical and can cause you to feel self-conscious. In addition to the visual aspect, having improperly aligned teeth can make it difficult to properly clean your teeth and could also affect your speech. By correcting these problems, you may be able to speak with more clarity and have an easier time brushing and flossing. Additionally, this can also help correct your bite which can potentially help with symptoms of TMJ dysfunction.
More Comfortable And Convenient Than Braces
Traditional braces are a great solution for various problems. They can be used to correct smiles for children and adults, improve poor bites, and more. The downside of braces is that the brackets and wires are highly visible to others. This can make them a less desirable option for older teenage or adult patients who want something more discreet. Our clear aligners may be more convenient for some patients because they are virtually invisible to others and can be removed during meals and oral hygiene routine. Additionally, many patients appreciate that these may be more comfortable since they do not require brackets and wires to shift your teeth.
This Discreet Method Boosts Your Confidence
Many patients avoid treatment because they worry that it can take a long time, or they will need braces. However, Invisalign uses clear aligners that can help gradually shift your teeth without using metal brackets and wires. First, you will need to come in for a consultation to evaluate the severity of your misalignment. Your dentist will also take an impression of your teeth to create the series of trays after you have been approved for treatment. During this consultation, you can discuss other cosmetic treatment or necessary restorative care as well. After your approval, you will wear your trays as instructed by your dentist. You will wear the trays all day and at night and move to the next set every few weeks guided by your dentist. The process can take about the same amount of time as braces, but it is virtually invisible to others.
