You can have a straight and a gorgeous smile with Invisalign. A bright, straight, and warm
smile exudes confidence and can transform someone’s appearance. Most people want a straight smile but may not
have the time or desire to wear traditional braces. Fortunately, there is another option.
MG Dental provides patients with multiple ways to straighten
their smile. While we offer traditional
braces, this is not a good fit for everyone.
People with busy careers that need to maintain a certain image may be
unable to wear braces while people that travel a lot don’t have time to visit
the orthodontist on a frequent basis.
Invisalign is ideal for people with a busy schedule because
the progress can be made at home. Appointments
are simply to make sure that the teeth are adjusting as they should. Traditional braces have multiple components –
brackets, wires and rubber bands. These components need to be adjusted or
changed regularly at the orthodontist office in order to keep teeth moving in
the right direction. Invisalign is
different because there is only one piece to worry about, an aligner.
Clear aligners are created using a mold of your mouth. They slowly change so that every couple of
weeks you can remove the old one and start to wear a new one. They go in stages so that each time you start
wearing a new aligner it will move the teeth that much close to your smile
goals. Patients are given the aligners
at the beginning of the process, so there is no need to visit the orthodontist
before switching one out. Regular
inspections still need to be completed, but that can be done on a patient's
schedule without worrying about causing delays.
Flexibility is important because people’s lives are so incredibly
busy. Even those that are committed to having
straight teeth may find the number of office visits cumbersome, making this alternative
option ideal.
Invisalign is also an excellent option for those worried
about their appearance. Many people are
uncomfortable with the idea of having metal braces on their mouth. Whether needing to blend in at work or a high
school senior wanting to look amazing for the prom, braces do impact your
overall appearance where this option won’t.
Since the aligners are clear, a patient can wear it with them with
confidence that no one can tell they are on.
This makes them a viable alternative for people that want to straighten
their smile without calling attention to it.
Another benefit is that you can care for your teeth like
normal without any additional maintenance steps. Simply brush your teeth after each meal or
sticky snacks, floss daily, and use an antiseptic mouthwash to kill bacteria
and to remove plaque. Your aligners can
also be brushed using a soft toothbrush and toothpaste.
