INVISALIGN®
Often, the reason patients choose not to correct teeth that are crooked or misaligned is because of the potential discomfort of wearing traditional metal braces and their impact on their daily lives. Metal braces can be cumbersome, uncomfortable and, above all, very conspicuous. Because teeth alignment sometimes takes years to complete, the idea of having to wear metal braces on your teeth is not the most pleasant option for most people. Dr. Stella Gonzalez has the solution: Invisalign® invisible braces.
What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® invisible braces are just that: invisible. The Invisalign® system uses aligners made of clear plastic that are designed to fit discreetly over the teeth and make gradual adjustments over time. Because the aligners are made of clear material, they are virtually unnoticeable to the naked eye. Invisalign® provides the same teeth-straightening benefits as traditional metal braces, and are becoming the orthodontic treatment method of choice.
Invisalign® vs. traditional orthodontics
Because people want to look their best, Invisalign® invisible braces may be a better option than traditional braces, especially for patients who want the benefits of teeth alignment without the hassle of flashy metal braces. Invisalign® aligners are also removable, making them more convenient than traditional metal braces. As a result, teeth can be brushed and flossed normally. In addition, Invisalign® invisible braces do not stain teeth as traditional metal braces can. If patients with Invisalign® braces want to enjoy sticky foods that traditional braces would not allow, they can simply remove the aligners and replace them after a meal.
The Invisalign® procedure
The Invisalign® procedure is extremely quick and easy. We begin by using advanced computer mapping technology to take precise measurements of your tooth structure. With this data, we can fit patients with Invisalign® invisible braces. Invisalign® straightens teeth with custom-made aligners that do the same job as traditional metal brackets and wires. Instead of visiting an orthodontist monthly to adjust and tighten your brackets, simply replace your aligner with the next in the series. The Invisalign® procedure straightens teeth as effectively as traditional metal braces, as long as the patient follows all the guidelines outlined by their dentist. Invisalign® invisible braces allow patients to straighten their teeth discreetly without any problems.
