Unhappy with the look of your crooked smile? Here at Waugh Chapel Dental in Gambrills, MD, Dr. Robert M. Daly provides Invisalign aligners to improve orofacial appearance as well to fix issues with biting, chewing, and speaking. Read on to learn how this treatment option can give you the attractive straight teeth you’ve always wanted.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is an orthodontic system that uses a sequential series of clear aligners to gradually move teeth into a perfect position. Each set of aligners is designed to fit your current teeth alignment and will be worn for two weeks before being replaced by the next set. You will only remove them when you are eating, playing sports, or brushing/flossing. As each aligner is replaced with a new one, your teeth are gradually moved a little at a time until they are straightened. You will visit your dentist every four to six weeks so that he can check your progress. Typically, total teeth straightening with Invisalign takes 9-15 months.
The Benefits of Invisalign
There are a number of benefits with the Invisalign system, including:
- Invisibility: The aligners are clear, so no one can tell you are wearing them.
- Comfort: Invisalign aligners are made from smooth plastic and designed for comfort.
- Hygiene: You can remove Invisalign aligners when you eat and clean your teeth, making them very hygienic.
- Safe: Due to their easy removability, those undergoing Invisalign treatment can comfortably play an instrument and safely participate in sports.
- No restrictions: Unlike traditional braces, with Invisalign, you can eat whatever you want without restrictions.
