Invisalign Clear Braces for Adults & Teens

Here's the problem. You take good care of your teeth but you have never really felt comfortable about smiling and showing your smile. Your significant other might tell you "your teeth look fine," but even though your teeth are healthy, you still cover your mouth when you smile and laugh (or worse yet, you force yourself not to smile). You've lived this way your whole life, should you change anything now? Even if you wanted to do something to enhance your smile, what options do you have?

Luckily, there is a great option in Westchester NY for adults & teens using an invisible teeth straightening technique called invisalign! If your teeth are healthy and you just have too much or too little space in your mouth (ie. crowded teeth, rotated teeth, or gaps between your teeth) invisalign clear invisible braces are a great option that allows you to straighten your teeth painlessly and efficiently.

Invisalign clear braces teeth straightening technique involves a series of removable clear, thin, comfortable retainers that are worn all day and night. One big advantage that clear braces have over traditional braces (which use metal brackets and metal wires) is that clear invisalign braces use removable retainers that you simply take out of your mouth whenever you eat and whenever you brush and floss. This fact means that you have no restrictions at all regarding what food you can or can't eat. Traditional braces use non removable metal brackets and metal wires and have many food restrictions so that you won't dislodge the braces from your mouth.

The removable clear invisalign dentistry braces aligners are designs by computers which generate "before" and "after" virtual models from impressions (imprints) taken by your dentist. Each aligner is worn for 2-3 weeks and you are generally given enough invisalign clear braces aligners by your Westchester NY dentist to last for 6-8 weeks. You simply snap the comfortable braces into your mouth and go on with your day. Take the invisible braces out of your mouth to eat. Wear your invisalign clear braces and your teeth will move, it's as simple as that! Treatment for most people is completed in 12-18 months.

One word of caution; when looking to enhance your smile, do not just look for a dentist who offers invisalign clear braces. If your teeth are chipped or if your teeth have many un-esthetic problems, invisible braces might not be the best choice. Imagine your own teeth perfectly aligned: would you like? If you answered yes, then invisible clear braces are a great option. But if you answered no, then teeth straightening dentistry using clear aligners may not be your best choice. Be sure you visit a dentist who can offer you many cosmetic choices, and not just offer a one size fits all approach. Sometimes, like when your teeth are very chipped, very stained, etc. porcelain veneers might be your best choice for your smile makeover. Porcelain veneers can allow your dentist not only to straighten your teeth, but also to enhance the size and shape of individual teeth as well.
