A great smile is one of life’s most important things; straight teeth can make you feel confident and improve your self-esteem. Braces are one of the most common orthodontic treatments to straighten crooked teeth, but they can be unsightly, uncomfortable, and inconvenient. Luckily, advances in orthodontic technology have created a new alternative to traditional braces called Invisalign. Invisalign is offered here at Parleys Creek Dental and is a revolutionary orthodontic treatment that uses clear, removable aligners to gently shift the teeth into proper alignment for those in the Salt Lake City, Utah, area.
Invisalign aligners are made from clear, medical-grade plastic, making them virtually invisible while wearing them. The aligners are custom-made for each patient based on a virtual 3D model of their teeth. They are designed to fit snugly over the teeth and apply gentle pressure to shift them into proper positions over time. Invisalign aligners are an excellent option for those looking for a quicker treatment plan or for adults looking for a discreet way to straighten their teeth.
Regarding Invisalign, there are several benefits as to why it could be a good choice for you. Benefits of Invisalign include:
One of the biggest problems with traditional braces is their appearance. Metal brackets and wires can be unsightly and unattractive. Invisalign aligners are clear and virtually invisible, making them an excellent option for adults and teenagers who want to improve their smiles without the embarrassment of traditional braces. Invisalign can help you achieve a beautiful, straight smile without anyone knowing you’re wearing aligners.
Traditional braces can be uncomfortable and even painful. The metal wires and brackets can irritate the inside of your mouth, causing sores and discomfort. Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, comfortable plastic, making them a much more comfortable option. Invisalign aligners are also custom-made to fit your teeth, minimizing discomfort and ensuring a perfect fit throughout your treatment.
One of the most significant benefits of Invisalign is its convenience. With traditional braces, you must visit your orthodontist regularly for adjustments and check-ups. Invisalign aligners receive replacement every two weeks, which means fewer visits to our office. Additionally, Invisalign aligners are removable, so you can still enjoy the foods you love without worrying about damaging your braces.
Another advantage of Invisalign is that it allows for better oral hygiene. It can be challenging to brush and floss your teeth with traditional braces. Invisalign aligners are removable, making brushing and flossing your teeth properly easier. Additionally, you can clean your aligners with a toothbrush and toothpaste to ensure they stay clean and fresh.
Finally, Invisalign can achieve straighter teeth in a shorter amount of time than traditional braces. Treatment time can vary depending on the severity of your dental issues, but on average, Invisalign treatments take about 12-18 months. Traditional braces can take 2-3 years to achieve the same results.
