Your smile creates the first impression others have of you. Crooked teeth can leave a wrong impression. You don’t have to be a movie star or a professional speaker to want straight teeth. No matter what your walk of life, you can benefit from the self-confidence of an attractive smile.
But what about the discomfort and inconvenience of a mouthful of metal? Not to mention the embarrassment of the look of metal braces, difficulty eating, even spitting unintentionally!
Platte Valley Dental Care may have just the solution for you – Invisalign. Invisalign is a gentle, effective, and relatively fast way to straighten your teeth, almost invisibly.
With Invisalign, there are no metal braces or wires. A series of clear aligners (or trays) are fabricated at a lab from impressions of your teeth. You wear each set of aligners in succession for about two weeks at a time.
Invisalign fits comfortably and does not hinder your ability to speak clearly, since they are wireless. Many patients are able to eat while wearing the trays. And since they can be removed, you maintain good oral health with routine brushing and flossing.
This method is designed for older teens and adults with a grown-up lifestyle. Teeth tend to shift and crowd as part of the natural aging process. This can happen even if you had your teeth straightened earlier in your life, unless you continue to wear a retainer. These changes may cause you to self-consciously hold back from smiling, and can make it difficult to brush and floss well. Invisalign corrects crowding and maintains dental health.
While treatment time depends on your individual situation, most patients get the smile they want within nine-to-twelve months; some more quickly. And Invisalign is affordable, costing no more than traditional braces. It is covered by most orthodontic insurance and eligible under medical reimbursement plans.
