If you’ve got crowded, gapped or otherwise misaligned teeth, you may not realize that those problems are affecting more than your self-confidence — they’re actually interfering with your dental health. Misalignments in teeth give leftover food particles and bacteria ample room to build up, and can make proper brushing and flossing more difficult. And when bacteria builds up, tooth decay and even gum disease can soon follow. Yes, it’s important to your dental and overall health to straighten those teeth — but don’t think that means metal wires and brackets. Learn more about the benefits of Invisalign in Virginia Beach from your trusted cosmetic dentist, Dr. Morgan.
Invisalign Straightens Teeth Invisibly
Invisalign is an FDA approved straightening solution for adults and teens who are prefer to enhance their smiles discretely. Patients who have chosen Invisalign at our office confirm again and again: compared to traditional braces, it’s a convenient, more comfortable solution that works — invisibly. Keep reading to learn more about how Invisalign works.
The Invisalign System: How It Works
Like traditional braces, Invisalign works by placing pressure on certain points of the teeth. But unlike the metal wire and bracket system, Invisalign uses a series of clear plastic trays to move the teeth into place. After an initial appointment with Dr. Morgan, you’ll receive your unique set of clear aligners in the mail, and every two weeks you’ll put in a new tray, advancing through the treatment on your way to a straighter smile.
Advantages of Choosing Invisalign
Yes, Invisalign offers patients an invisible solution to straighter teeth. But that’s certainly not the only advantage of this unique system.
Convenience
One of the biggest adjustments for those wearing traditional metal braces is home care — figuring out how to brush and floss around that bulky hardware, and constantly worrying about having a little bit of lunch leftover in the braces. But the beautiful thing about Invisalign is you can take the trays out to enjoy meals and clean your teeth just like you’re used to — no special instruction manual necessary needed.
Comfort
Because Invisalign uses plastic trays rather than metal, you never have to worry about the discomfort of a broken bracket or popped-out wire rubbing a sore into your sensitive cheeks, tongue or gums. With Invisalign, the only thing you’ll ever feel is progress: your teeth moving into the beautiful, straighter position you want.
