Straightening Your Smile With Clear Aligners

When you have misalignment, you may assume that metal braces are the only path to an even smile. but our team can actually offer a comfortable cosmetic alternative with our clear aligners. Our Richardson, TX, dental team can provide straighter smiles with our Invisalign® and Invisalign® teen aligners!

The Benefits of Treating Your Misalignment

When we have misalignment, this means you have crooked, crowded, or overlapping teeth. These can make thorough brushing and flossing difficult, so your smile is more vulnerable to tooth decay and gum disease. The pressure on your jaw joints from uneven teeth can also lead to painful complications like TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding). You may also simply feel uncomfortable with your appearance, which impacts your quality of life in negative ways. Which is why treating these issues with clear aligners is so helpful!

Creating Custom Orthodontics

Invisalign® is a cosmetic alternative to braces, one that uses clear aligners to shift teeth instead of metal brackets and wires. Each set of aligners in the series will be custom-made for your smile, ensuring a proper fit and comfortable treatment process, one free of gum and cheek irritation. To begin, we will gather detailed digital images and measurements of your smile from multiple angles, and experts in a lab setting will use them to create them from a BPA-free plastic material, one completely clear in appearance. They can also be removed! Which means you don’t have to change your diet to avoid certain foods, and also that brushing and flossing is much simpler, so you can enjoy better oral health throughout the treatment process. When you stop using the orthodontics, your teeth will remain bright and free of decay if you brush and floss each day!

Invisalign® for Teens and Adults

We offer treatment for adults and teens alike, and the treatment process is relatively simple. You wear a set of your orthodontics for about 20 to 22 hours, depending on our recommendations. You do so for about two weeks before you move on to the next set in the series. The process takes as little as a year for results, or about 18 months for teens, but this is still less time than braces require. You can easily clean and store them, and they travel with you too. If you have any questions about how we can use clear Invisalign® aligners to treat misalignment and help you enjoy a straighter smile, then contact our team today to learn more.
