What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a revolutionary braces alternative that offers a discreet way to straighten teeth without metal brackets or wires. This innovative orthodontic treatment uses a series of clear, removable aligners custom-made for your teeth.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign utilizes advanced 3D computer imaging technology to create a complete treatment plan. You’ll receive a series of custom-made, clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Each set of aligners is worn for about two weeks before moving to the next aligner in the series.
Benefits of Choosing Invisalign
As a metal free braces option, Invisalign offers several advantages:
- Nearly invisible appearance
- Removable for eating and cleaning
- Comfortable fit with no sharp edges
- Fewer orthodontist visits
- Potentially shorter treatment time than traditional braces
- Highly-effective orthodontic solution
Invisalign has revolutionized orthodontic treatment, providing a convenient and aesthetically pleasing alternative to conventional braces. This innovative system allows you to achieve a straighter smile without the noticeable appearance of metal braces, making it an attractive option for both teens and adults seeking orthodontic correction.
The Benefits of Invisalign Over Metal Braces
Aesthetic Advantage
Invisalign offers a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. These clear aligners are nearly invisible, allowing you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention to your orthodontic treatment. This aesthetic advantage makes Invisalign particularly appealing for adults and teens who may feel self-conscious about wearing conventional metal braces.
Comfort and Convenience
Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners are removable. This feature allows you to eat, drink, brush, and floss without restrictions or special tools. The smooth plastic material of Invisalign also eliminates the discomfort often associated with metal brackets and wires, reducing the risk of mouth irritation and injuries.
Predictable Results
Invisalign uses advanced 3D imaging technology to map out your entire treatment plan. This allows you to visualize your progress and expected results before you even decide to invest into the procedure. The precise, computer-generated aligners ensure consistent and predictable tooth movement, often resulting in shorter treatment times compared to traditional braces alternatives.
By choosing the Invisalign orthodontic treatment option from Dental Arts Center of Oklahoma City, you’re opting for a modern, efficient, and comfortable approach to achieving a straighter smile without the limitations of metal free braces.
