What if you could get the straight smile that you have always wanted with a nearly invisible solution? Now you can with Invisalign near Allentown. While you have heard about the benefits of the clear aligners, you may be a bit skeptical about how they work. Rest assured, you will achieve lasting results to invest in your confidence.
Improve in Your Confidence
It is estimated that only 35% of adults have well-aligned front teeth. In the past, most adults choose to live with the flaws; however, due to advancements in orthodontics, 1 in 5 patients are now over the age of 18. The most preferred solution for older generations involves the use of Invisalign.
It is uses a series of clear custom-made aligners that are worn over the teeth to gradually move them into position. Although no wires or brackets are used, they are effective for correcting an array of bite and alignment concerns.
Start Your Journey to a Straight Smile
After an initial consultation to ensure that you are a candidate for the treatment, 3D impressions are used to create a “road map” to move your teeth. With this technology, you will even be able to see what your new smile will look like before you commit to the treatment.
Using the impressions, a series of aligners are developed to be worn over your teeth. You will wear each one for about a week before switching to the next. On average, it will take about a year to finish your treatment. At the end, you will briefly require a retainer to prevent them from moving back into their previous positions.
Although metal wires and brackets are not used to move your teeth, the aligners are effective by providing constant pressure. As you progress through your series, your teeth are gradually moved into their ideal positions. Do not worry, there is only minor tenderness for a couple of days after moving on to a new aligner despite the pressure.
