Getting Straighter Teeth with Invisalign

Smiling is contagious! Have you ever noticed when a stranger gives you a big smile it makes you feel like smiling too? According to Psychology Today, the act of smiling or seeing someone else smile has many benefits, including elevating your mood and giving you an overall positive sense of well-being.

Do you want to smile but are too embarrassed by the appearance of your teeth? If your teeth are visibly crooked, overlapping, or have gaps between them, you certainly don’t want to show them in a big toothy grin. You may hide your smile beyond your hand, try to smile without showing your teeth, or if you feel your teeth are really an embarrassment, you may not smile at all!

To end your embarrassment, you’ve probably considered traditional metal braces. For adults and teenagers, the look of the metal braces can often be as embarrassing as your crooked teeth. Due to this treatment option, you may have given up looking for a way to overcome your teeth problem and just don’t smile.

Invisalign for Straighter Teeth

Don’t give up yet! The professional Broomfield dentists at Green Dental offer Invisalign, an innovative dental treatment that can give you straighter teeth without the old-fashioned metal posts and wires of traditional braces. This dental treatment system uses clear plastic aligners to straighten and realign your teeth.

The clear plastic aligners are able to straighten crooked, crowded, or misaligned teeth and close any unwanted gaps or spaces. This not only makes the look of your teeth more aesthetically pleasing but also helps align your jaw. This can reduce or eliminate any pain or discomfort that you may have from overbites, under-bites, or jaw and chewing problems.

Using the latest in innovative technology, the dental aligners are created from 3D images your dentist takes of your mouth and head during your initial consultation. Approximately a week after your consultation your custom-made clear aligner tray system will be ready for you to start your individualized treatment program.

Plastic Instead of Metal for Straighter Teeth

Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign consists of clear aligners made of a thermo-plastic material that are custom-formed to fit over your teeth for your particular dental needs.

With traditional braces, metal posts are cemented directly to the tooth enamel, and metal wires and springs are attached to the posts. In some cases rubber bands are also attached to the posts to help realign your jaw. These wires and springs have to be adjusted routinely by your orthodontist, which generally is a painful and time-consuming process.

With the Invisalign plastic aligner system there are no metal posts, no painful trips to the dentist to have metal wires tightened, and no springs or rubber bands to deal with.  During your treatment you will have monthly appointments where your dentist will exam the progress of your teeth and give you different aligners. You receive new aligner trays as your teeth straighten. On average, a person can have up to 50 different trays during treatment.

With traditional metal braces the metal posts and wires can poke and scratch against the inside of your mouth and lips. For your comfort the thermos-plastic trays of the Invisalign system are one smooth piece that fits snuggly over your teeth. With a clear finish, the trays are barely visible. You can wear them all day without the whole world knowing that your teeth are being straightened.

Straighter Teeth with Flexibility and Comfort

Although the treatment is meant to be worn around the clock, for flexibility the aligners can easily be removed by you. No need for you to take trips to the dentist to have them removed. This makes it easy to keep your teeth and the aligners clean during treatment. You can continue to brush your teeth, floss, and rinse your mouth just like you did before starting the treatment. This also makes it easy to keep your aligners clean.

Traditional braces often take up to three years to work. Great for your busy lifestyle, the Invisalign system can often work in less than 24 months. For less severe cases the system may work in as little as nine months.
