Invisalign Braces
Invisalign® offers an almost invisible system of braces called Invisalign Braces that straightens teeth fast and contains no metal and virtually unobservable to the eye. Braces are great and though a well-tested procedure for teeth aligning but one (of the many) concerns people often have about dental braces in Pflugerville is the aesthetic impact of the metalwork on their smile. The prospect of wearing unattractive metal braces for long periods of time can be discouraging.
Invisalign® advantages over traditional braces and veneers
Traditional dental braces, Invisalign® aligning trays and dental veneers are three different ways to perfect the alignment of the teeth. There are many different considerations to make when considering which treatment will be best, and each of these options works better in certain situations. Invisalign® differs from traditional braces in that the aligning trays are fully removable. This means that more discipline and commitment is required from the patient. This is not usually a problem since the trays are comfortable and nearly invisible. Almost identical results can be obtained by using either treatment.
Invisalign® Pflugerville treatment procedure
However, note that Invisalign is not for everyone and the doctor evaluation is a must for the right patient. First there are 3-D digital images are taken of the entire mouth and jaw and these images allow the dentist to move specific teeth on the screen, view the jaw from different angles, and also foresee what the face might look like in years to come. Once planning is complete a unique set of aligners is made and the total amount of aligners required varies with each individual case but no less than 20 trays.
Considerations in wearing Invisalign® trays
Invisalign® aligning trays may take several weeks to get used to. The trays should be worn constantly, except when eating and drinking. It is important to remove the trays when consuming food or drink because food can become trapped between the tray and the teeth, causing tooth decay. Usually, new trays are necessary every two weeks and progress between appointments can be seen with the naked eye. There is no doubt that Invisalign® aligning trays have revolutionized orthodontics. Invisalign® is renowned for being both comfortable and effective. If you have questions or desire additional information for Invisalign®, please contact our office.
