No one wants to hide their smile due to deformed teeth. Traditional braces, Invisalign®, and dental veneers are three procedures used to realign your teeth.. Invisalign® uses a sequence of custom made plastic aligners to straighten your teeth allowing a comfortable alternative to metal braces. These aligners act like invisible braces allowing your teeth to be straightened comfortably and discreetly. A huge number of patients report total satisfaction with the Invisalign® treatment and the stunning results.

Why Choose Invisalign®

Invisalign® is one of the most popular orthodontic procedures to fix crooked teeth. Smile Time Dental is a certified Invisalign® provider and can create a sequence of 18 to 30 aligners. Each aligner is used for 2 weeks at a time and then replaced with a new aligner. Each aligner will shift your teeth gradually your teeth will steadily progress and by the final aligner you will have the smile you always wanted. 

Invisalign® Advantages:

• Discreet and nearly invisible 
• Can be taken off to eat or brush your teeth 
• Smooth against your lips and teeth

You will never have to hide your smile because Invisalign® is practically invisible. If you are self conscious of the look of braces Invisalign® is a discrete alternative. The entire process is usually 9 to 15 months long determined by the location of your teeth in your mouth. 

Is Invisalign® Right For Me

Invisalign® is a great solution for people that want to straighten their teeth without the typical problems of braces. Sometimes Invisalign® is not the right fit for everyone. 

If you have a more serious case that involves some of the below conditions your dentist may not recommend Invisalign® for your situation:

• Odd tooth shape having round or short teeth may not be able to align properly in Invisalign®
• Gapped or crowded teeth Invisalign® does not put enough force to straighten overcrowded or misaligned teeth
• Dental bridge due to bridges being connected to your teeth it is difficult for the aligners to shift your teeth
• Misaligned jaws Invisalign® are not made to help improve your jaw position or bite into alignment

If you are a good candidate for Invisalign® this regimen can gradually and gently shift your teeth so they become perfectly spaced and aligned in your mouth. More adults than teenagers have Invisalign® due to the discipline of caring and wearing their aligners and their teeth are already grown in. 

Not only is Invisalign® a treatment that looks good while correcting your smile, it is an easy, no-hassle option. Flossing with Invisalign®, for example, is much easier than with metal braces. Obviously, you just remove the Invisalign® and floss like normal while with metal braces there is a little more strategy involved. Not to mention, you get to remove your Invisalign® before eating so there is never an issue of food getting stuck in your aligners, unlike when dealing with metal braces.

There are so many reasons why our Invisalign® treatment may be better for you than metal braces, but it ultimately comes down to your decision and what fits your lifestyle best.
