Straighten Teeth Without Braces
Remember Ugly Betty? She is a good example of why the traditional way of straightening teeth was a miserable experience for many teenagers, young and mature adults. Braces were unattractive, very obvious, caused cuts in the mouth and knocked a lot of confidence as they gave off a ‘nerdy’ and unpopular look. The traditional orthodontic measures have proven to have an impact on appearance and confidence.
It’s out with the old and in with new. Braces were the talk of yesterday.
Invisalign is the modern orthodontic fix for out of line teeth. It is a lifesaver for many – especially mature adults. There is a misconception that braces are only for teens and children, and most adults are embarrassed by this form of treatment and have been delighted by the option of having straight teeth without braces.
Invisalign is the clear, discrete alternative to braces that are invisible, easy to wear and quick to clean. For important meetings, lunches and dinners you can easily remove the aligner and eat whatever, and as much as you like without having to worry about bits of food getting stuck in between the wires and brackets of your braces. With the traditional wired braces, you are also placed with food restrictions as some foods like popcorn can break the wire. With Invisalign, you can go to the cinema and not worry about breaking wires with popcorn – so go ahead and order the largest, sweetest popcorn bag! There are no food restrictions with Invisalign.
Invisalign patients wear these clear, removable orthodontic aligners for 20 hours at least, but your Invisalign Doctor will advise you on this. As your teeth begin to take shape, you will have to change your Invisalign trays because your teeth would have began to take shape and started to shift into place. Appointments set with your Invisalign Doctor will ensure that your Invisalign tray is the correct fit and if the position of your teeth has moved, your Doctor with produce a new aligner from a fresh mold to match the new impression. But remember you will not be dealing with wires in your mouth for the world to see! Invisalign can improve your smile while letting you feel confident, mature and professional.
You can contact the Invisalign Doctor for advice and to discuss whether Invisalign can be an option for you.
