Invisalign Clear Braces
Whether you’re a tween, teen or an adult, there’s no doubt that braces are a pain. Not only are they unattractive and sometimes embarrassing, they can make normal activities difficult (such as eating or brushing your teeth), and simply put, they just get in the way of everyday life.
While braces are more ideal during adolescence, there are many people who end up getting braces as adults. With today’s busy lifestyles, you may not have the time to commit several years to straightening your teeth. Plus, braces can affect your professional goals, personal life and even cause you to avoid photos or smiling and laughing altogether.
Invisalign Gives You
Something to Smile About
Today’s modern dental technologies have provided a simple way for people of all ages to quickly, painlessly and invisibly straighten their teeth without having to put life on hold. With Invisalign, there is no need for traditional metal wires and brackets. The aligners are made of a virtually invisible plastic and what you will love most is that people won’t even notice you are wearing them! If you have any of the following dental issues, Invisalign may be an ideal treatment for you:
- Crooked teeth
- Crowded or spaced teeth
- Crossbite
- Overbite or underbite
How Does Invisalign Work?
Dr. Macalik uses Invisalign technology and 3-D images to create a custom-made series of aligners that you will wear over your teeth. Each set will gradually and gently shift your teeth based on the exact movements she has planned out for you. It’s as simple and easy as popping in a new set of aligners about every two weeks, until your treatment is complete – about half the time of traditional braces. There are no metal brackets and no wires to tighten. And oral hygiene is a breeze because you will remove your aligners when you eat, drink and brush your teeth.
Advantages of Invisalign
For adults, Invisalign clear braces are the ideal smile makeover for an upcoming special event such as a class reunion, wedding or an important job interview. And for kids, they won’t have to miss a beat when it comes to school music activities or sports. Invisalign offers the convenience and flexibility to live your life without the hassles that go along with traditional braces because the treatment is:
