With Invisalign, You Are Never Too Old To Straighten Your Teeth
Have you always wanted a straighter smile, but as an adult aren't too keen about
the idea of wearing traditional wire-bracket braces? You are in luck! With Invisalign's clear aligners you can now straighten your teeth without anyone even noticing that you are undergoing treatment. Straightening your teeth will not interfere with your busy lifestyle. At Cosmetic, Implant & Reconstructive Dentistry, Dr. Alexandra Welzel, DMD takes pride in providing patients with the chance to straighten their teeth with Invisalign's clear aligners this season.
How does Invisalign Work?
Requiring only one set of impressions and photographs of your teeth, Invisalign's method is simpler than its predecessors. Impressions are used to create a three-dimensional computer projection of how your teeth can be moved in increments. This forms the basis for developing a series of custom-made aligners that are specifically designed to accomplish a gradual movement of your teeth.
Invisalign can be used to correct the following types of mild dental problems:
*Overly crowded teeth
*Widely spaced teeth
*Overbite
*Cross-bite
*Mild relapse
Aligners are manufactured at the Align Technologies dental laboratory using a computer-aided design process. Once fabricated, your aligners are sent to your dentist who will typically dispense them in groups of one or two at a time during regular check-up appointments in order to ensure proper maintenance of your treatment.
Each aligner must be worn in its specific order for about two weeks. During this time your teeth will move in small increments and must be worn at least 20 hours a day in order to reposition your teeth successfully. Typical treatment requires approximately 20 to 30 aligners for both the upper and lower teeth and the time for treatment depends on the specific alignment problem.
Invisalign Teen
Not only is Invisalign ideal for adults, but it is specially designed for teens as well. Teens have school and busy sports schedules; they hang with their friends; and are constantly participating in other social events. Wearing metal braces may not be conducive to their active lifestyle. With Invisalign Teen, a straighter, more confident smile is within reach with the virtually invisible clear aligners.
While Invisalign Teen works the same way as Invisalign for adults, it has been made into an even easier process for teens in order to track their progress. Each aligner contains a Blue Dot Wear indicator in an inconspicuous location that is designed to fade over a two-week period, letting you know when a new aligner tray is needed.
What are the Benefits?
Whether you're 50 or 13, with Invisalign, you can get the smile you have always wanted without bands, brackets, or wires. By using a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign straightens your teeth right before your eyes without anyone noticing. They are comfortable to wear and removable so that you can eat, drink, brush and floss as usual.
Invisalign takes less time to straighten your smile than with traditional braces. Virtually invisible and clear, nothing will get in the way of your new smile. The choice for over half a million people, Invisalign's added benefits include:
*Unobtrusive in business meetings or social gatherings
*No metal wires or bands to irritate your mouth
*Most people won't even notice you are wearing aligners
If you are ready to take the next step to getting a straighter smile, speak with your Baltimore, MD dentist and find out if you are a good candidate for Invisalign. You'll see results faster and less painfully than with traditional braces, and no one will even notice you are receiving treatment.
