Unfortunately, traditional braces often need to be worn anywhere between 24 to 36 months, and in the meantime, you\u2019re left with unsightly metal brackets and wires. Luckily, with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whartondentists.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign<\/a> treatment, you can improve your pearly whites and enjoy a fully corrected grin by the end of the year! Read on to learn more about the advantages of Invisalign.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What is Invisalign and How Can It Help You?<\/h2>\n<p>Typically used as an orthodontic alternative for adults and teenagers, Invisalign employs a series of see-through alignment trays that exert pressure on your teeth and gradually shifts them to promote a healthier smile. The trays are transparent and may not be noticed by people who don\u2019t know what to look for; they can also be removed, so you\u2019ll still be able to eat anything you want during your orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n<p>While different patients require different orthodontic solutions, Invisalign can help correct many cases of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Crooked or uneven teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Overbite (upper teeth too far in front of bottom teeth), underbite (bottom teeth too far in front of upper teeth) or crossbite (upper teeth site inside the lower teeth).<\/li>\n<li>Spacing issues, such as gaps or crowded teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What are the Benefits of Invisalign?<\/h2>\n<p>Compared to traditional braces, Invisalign treatment is usually much shorter and requires fewer appointments (since the aligners don\u2019t require the same adjustments as brackets and wires). This saves a lot of time and is generally more convenient for everyone. Furthermore, while the procedure typically takes about a year, you should start noticing significant changes after just a few weeks \u2013 since most people won\u2019t realize you\u2019re wearing the Invisalign trays, that means you\u2019ll enjoy the benefits of an improved smile much sooner than you would have otherwise!<\/p>\n<p>The removable trays also offer several advantages. Since you\u2019ll take them out whenever eating or drinking anything (besides water), there aren\u2019t any food restrictions, meaning you can enjoy all of your favorite meals. They also make it easier to maintain great oral hygiene; you can brush and floss your teeth without having to navigate around an orthodontic appliance, and the trays themselves can be rinsed and brushed outside of the mouth.<\/p>\n<h2>Is Invisalign Right for You?<\/h2>\n<p>The best candidates for Invisalign are older teens and adults with certain orthodontic problems who are able to commit to wearing their alignment trays for at least 20 to 22 hours every day. The dentist in Wharton will need to check your mouth to make sure the treatment will be effective in your case. If you\u2019re looking forward to a better grin in the new year, now\u2019s the time to schedule a consultation!<\/p>\n<h3>About the Author<\/h3>\n<p>Dr. David Tripulas has completed a fellowship from the Academy of General Dentistry and was awarded a Mastership in 1993 \u2013 an honor that only 2,200 dentists have earned in the past 44 years.
