Clear Invisible Braces Make Patients Smile

Invisalign is Nearly Invisible While Worn

Straight teeth are more than just a cosmetic concern, and dental patients diagnosed with misalignment or dental crowding are often concerned about having traditional braces for good reasons.  If you have been told that you need orthodontic treatment, you probably know that crowded teeth are more prone to tooth decay, gum disease and eventually, tooth loss. 

Traditional braces are considered unattractive by many patients, and they are not very excited about living life with brackets and wires in their mouth for a year or more.  Luckily, options for orthodontic treatment without traditional braces are available at Forest Lane Dental of Dallas.  

Invisalign Clear Aligners offer advanced orthodontic treatment without brackets and wires.  

How Invisalign Works

Invisalign technology relies upon a series of custom made clear dental aligners that are worn daily and overnight to bring teeth into alignment without brackets and wires.  The clear aligners are virtually invisible while worn during the day.  They can be removed for meals and for personal dental hygiene like brushing and flossing.  

The aligners are worn for about 20 hours per day and changed every couple of weeks. With recommended use, the aligners will gradually bring the teeth into proper position without braces, usually in 6 months to a year. 

 

Invisalign Advantages

Traditional braces create specific inconveniences for patients including dietary restrictions, difficulty cleaning around the brackets and wires and frequent dental visits.  Invisalign technology eliminates these problems.  Advantages of Invisalign include:

• Rapid Results

• No Dietary Restrictions

• No Dental Hygiene Challenges

• Fewer Dental Appointments

• No Brackets or Wires
