You probably already know orthodontic care will handle problems with your bite and straighten crooked teeth. However, the idea of metal brackets in your mouth might hold you back. The good news is, there are other options for achieving a beautiful smile, including Invisalign aligner treatment.
What Is Invisalign?
When you first go to the orthodontist for Invisalign, Dr. Hirsch will take a digital mold of your mouth. The Invisalign aligners are made specifically for you. You will receive trays of aligners, and each aligner brings you closer to the smile you have always wanted. Every two to three weeks, you will use a new aligner. Each one is a part of your treatment plan, and they move your teeth a little at a time. By the end of your treatment, your teeth are exactly where they should be.
Will Invisalign Work for Me?
When Invisalign first emerged in the world of orthodontia, the aligners could only handle minor orthodontic needs. However, the technology surrounding Invisalign has changed dramatically. Invisalign works well for a wide variety of orthodontic needs. If you have gaps in your teeth, crowded teeth, or any type of issue with your bite, it is worth talking to an orthodontist. Dr. Hirsch will help you decide which treatment option is best for you during your complimentary consultation.
What Are the Restrictions?
One of the advantages of Invisalign is the lack of restrictions. The aligners are removable, so you can eat whatever you want without worrying about damaging them. Also, you can participate in team sports without your aligner and without worrying about damaging the soft tissue inside the mouth with metal brackets. Also, if you play a musical instrument, traditional braces might get in the way. You avoid that problem with Invisalign aligner treatment. Just make sure you put your aligner back in afterward. If you forget to wear the aligner for 22 hours a day, you could add more time to your treatment plan.
