Invisalign Instead of Traditional Braces

Joseph Coupal - Thursday, February 21, 2013

If you or your teen needs braces, consider Invisalign clear aligners instead. Traditional metal braces can make one self conscious and can inhibit proper tooth care.

Invisalign braces are clear, making them almost invisible allowing you to smile with confidence. People won’t even know you are wearing them.

Invisalign can correct most dental issues that call for braces including crowded teeth, underbites, jaw problems and crooked teeth. The staff at Oyster Point Dentistry can tell you if Invisalign will work for you.
 
With dental xrays Invisalign will create a digital 3-D image from which a series of clear aligners will be constructed, fitting your teeth perfectly. Smooth and much more comfortable than metal brackets, Invisalign aligners are worn throughout the day and allow your teeth to gradually straighten and shift.

The results with Invisalign are the same as traditional braces, but there are many more advantages. You can eat any foods; the aligners are removable so eating and tooth care is easier; and the plastic is easier on your mouth.
