Many people come into our office with the desire to have straighter and whiter teeth. Most of them, however, don’t relish the thought of wearing metal braces for an extended period of time.
In some cases, they believe their teeth are too crooked for other types of treatments like Invisalign and that keeps them out of the office altogether. If you are one of those people, then call Shreveport Bossier Family Dental Care today.
Invisalign is an aligner tray that is smooth, comfortable and removable. They are so clear that they are barely noticeable at a conversational distance. That is one reason why this treatment option is so attractive to most adults.
How Does The Process Begin
The process starts with you coming in and having a consultation with the doctor. They will evaluate your particular condition looking at your teeth to see just how crooked they are and then determining whether or not Invisalign is good for you.
This treatment is not appropriate for kids, but teens and adults can really benefit from the treatment. For smaller kids, you may want to check out the Healthy Start program that we offer that is working wonders with kids.
Here are a few benefits of the Invisalign treatment:
- No metal brackets or wires are required
- You can brush, floss and care on a normal at home hygiene routine
- The are comfortable – no wires or brackets to rub your cheeks or gums
- You can remove them anytime you want or is necessary
- They are customized for your mouth
- They are clear and “nearly” invisible to those around you
After Dr. Katie Beach examines you, she will discuss with you your desired aesthetic results. If you are a good candidate, then a detailed treatment plan will be created that is personalized to you and your situation.
Your initial tray will then be created after an impression of your teeth is made. The lab technicians then create a series of aligners for your teeth.
The way Invisalign works is by using the aligners to move your teeth gradually over the course of time. The aligners are generally changed out every two weeks with treatment times being anywhere from 6 months to 2 years depending on how severe your case is. You should wear your aligners as often as possible to shorten the length of your treatment time.
In short, Invisalign is a wonderful and comfortable way of getting straighter teeth. If you are interested in Invisalign, then call our office today for a consultation and appointment. We will be glad to assist you in determining the best course of action to help you get the straightest smile possible.
