Orthodontic treatment can transform the way that your smile looks and the way it functions. If you have been considering orthodontic treatment for your own smile, Invisalign may be the perfect solution. Today our Santa Monica Invisalign dentists are giving you some more information about how this treatment works, and why it is so popular.
Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment option that offers a welcome alternative to traditional metal braces. Rather than moving teeth with brackets and wires, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to incrementally improve a patient’s dental alignment.
Throughout the treatment process, you will actually wear a series of aligners; each aligner builds on the progress of the one before it. Using Invisalign you can close gaps in your smile, straighten teeth, and correct bite problems.
There are a number of key reasons that patients choose Invisalign over conventional orthodontics:
- Because the aligners are clear, they allow your natural teeth to shine through. The aligners practically disappear once in place. Patients of all ages enjoy the discretion that Invisalign offers.
- It’s easy to keep your smile clean while using Invisalign because these aligners are removable. You can take them out to brush, floss, and use mouth rinse. This helps patients avoid the plaque and tartar accumulation that accompanies traditional braces.
- Invisalign is minimally disruptive to the patient’s daily life because you can still eat and drink your favorite things, and keep up with your normal activities.
- Invisalign imaging software allows you to see what your post-treatment smile will look like before we even get started.
