Invisalign and You
Posted on March 21, 2010 1:55AM in Crooked Teeth, Invisalign
We all want a straight, even smile, but the reality is that few of us are born with one. Crooked teeth is one of the most common dental problems, affecting millions of people around the world. In addition to impacting your appearance and confidence, they can make it difficult to achieve proper oral hygiene, since food is more likely to get trapped between teeth and flossing and brushing aren’t as effective as they could be. If left untreated, crooked teeth can also lead to bite misalignment.
Fortunately, crookedness is easily corrected. In past decades, most people had to suffer through years of painful, unattractive metal braces, but modern technologies have provided more convenient, comfortable alternatives. Invisalign has become a widely popular teeth straightening solution, offering a range of benefits:
- Aesthetics: Made from a clear material, Invisalign is barely noticeable, allowing you to achieve a straight, even smile without the eyesore of metal braces.
- Versatility: Invisalign teeth straighteners can be easily removed and put back in, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss with ease.
- Comfort: Made from non-abrasive materials and applied in a non-invasive way, Invisalign trays simply fit over your teeth like an orthodontic retainer, never causing pain, soreness, or irritation.
- Results: Although Invisalign is much gentler than braces, it achieves real, permanent results.
