Kids and Teeth from Babyhood to University

Teeth straightening is not a new concept. Braces have been used to straighten teeth in some form or another since 1728. For many, straightening your teeth brings to mind traditional wired braces and the cringe effect. New advances in dental care are making braces more comfortable and less noticeable.  Here are some of the benefits of choosing an Invisalign dentist for your straightening needs.

What are Invisalign Braces

Invisalign braces are a set of custom-made aligners that an Invisalign dentist can shape to your teeth. Each liner in the set will be slightly different. This difference allows each aligner to shape your teeth more. When you are done with the set that your Invisalign dentist has provided, your teeth will be straight and you will be ready to show your straighter smile to the world.

Comfort

History is filled with horror stories of the pains and discomfort experienced with traditional wired braces. Invisible braces are making these horror stories a thing of the past. Invisible braces are fitted to your teeth by an Invisalign dentist. They will take x-rays and pictures and make customized liners that fit comfortably over your teeth. These liners will gently apply pressure to your teeth. As you progress in the treatment the liners will be replaced with new ones with slight adjustments.

This process will continue until you have reached the necessary straightness. The Invisalign dentist will need to take further pictures throughout the process to make sure your liners are working properly. These invisible braces do not have the discomfort and cutting that traditional braces have made them a better alternative for children and adults alike.

Convenience

Invisible braces also alleviate the inconvenience of traditional braces. With traditional braces, you are limited to the types of foods you can eat, and brushing your teeth tends to be a hassle. With invisible braces, these problems do not exist. Because you remove the aligners to eat there is no limit as to what you can eat. You also remove them for daily brushing, therefore, allowing you to clean your teeth and gums without the problems caused by the adhesive and bracket of traditional braces. Your Invisalign dentist will be able to tell you all of the necessities for keeping your teeth healthy with your new invisible braces.

Whether you want the convenience of being able to eat what you want or the comfort of an aligner instead of metal covering your teeth, the benefits your Invisalign dentist can provide you are numerous. You will be able to have a beautiful smile while you are straightening your teeth with invisible braces.
