What is the Invisalign® tooth straightening system?
The Invisalign® tooth straightening system straightens a crooked smile using a series of invisible, custom-made, clear plastic aligners. Countless patients have benefited from Invisalign technology, avoiding the unattractive side effects of metal braces and finding their way to a beautiful, straight smile quickly and affordably.
Are the Invisalign® aligners really ‘invisible’?
Children going through that awkward phrase of needing braces may not feel uncomfortable, because many of their friends have braces too. But when you’re an adult, perhaps working every day in a professional environment, traditional metal braces can be an embarrassment. Invisalign, however, slowly but gradually straightens your teeth without metal braces or wires, so you can discreetly create a more beautiful smile and no one has to know. The clear plastic aligners are not truly ‘invisible’, of course, but they are hard to see when you’re wearing them. Imagine fulfilling your dream of a more beautiful smile, often in less time than with traditional braces, and in a way that is undetectable to others! It’s not difficult to see why Invisalign is the number one tooth straightening system available, and why Smiles By Sands has chosen to make this incredible technology available to our patients.
How do the Invisalign® aligners actually straighten teeth?
- A number of steps are needed to get the full benefits of your Invisalign treatment:
- Dr. Sands creates molds of your teeth and mouth to assist in the design of your Invisalign aligners.
- A series of customized aligners is created with the help of 3D digital imaging technology.
- Each set of aligners is worn for two weeks, then replaced with a new set
Your teeth will move gradually into their optimal position and, in some cases, even more quickly than with traditional metal braces.
What are the unique benefits of the Invisalign® system?
- Amazing straightening benefits without the embarrassment of metal braces
- High degree of comfort compared with metal braces
- Removable aligners mean proper brushing and flossing for less risk of cavity development during treatment
- Fewer diet restrictions
- Eat foods or snacks considered off-limits for wearers of traditional braces
