Did you know metal braces aren’t your only option for straightening crooked teeth and improving your smile? You can obtain the same beautiful results with Invisalign. Invisalign aligners replace braces to correct orthodontic issues and realign your smile. If you’re interested in straightening teeth without braces, you can talk with Dr. William Ossakow, Dr. Mallory Grossman, or Dr. So Jung Lee from Stone Ridge Family Dentistry in Aldie, Virginia, about Invisalign. Â
Here are some of the main reasons people choose Invisalign:
Invisalign offers the convenience of removable aligners to perfect your smile. This allows you to maintain a normal lifestyle while undergoing orthodontic treatment. You don’t have to alter your dietary habits as the aligners are removed for eating. You can also brush and floss your teeth like normal, as the aligners are removed for oral hygiene. The freedom of removable aligners makes your orthodontic treatment easier to endure.
There are no food restrictions with Invisalign, as you remove the aligners to eat. That means you can eat what you want without risk to your aligners or teeth. You’ll be able to enjoy all your favorite snacks and meals during your treatment. Just keep in mind that too many sweets put you at risk of cavities, which can delay completion of your treatment. Brushing after every meal will help keep your pearly whites strong and healthy throughout your orthodontic procedure.
With Invisalign, you avoid the discomfort of having metal brackets and wires attached to your teeth for the duration of your orthodontic treatment. The aligners take some adjustment, but are easier to use and have no sharp edges or wires to irritate your gums or teeth.
Invisalign aligners are clear and blend in with your teeth, making them less conspicuous. Most people can’t tell you’re wearing aligners unless they look very closely. You’ll get the same results as metal braces without flashing metal every time you smile. Invisalign straightens your teeth discreetly, making you less self-conscious about your appearance.
Most orthodontic issues, including bite problems, crooked teeth, overlapping teeth, gaps between teeth, and overcrowding, can be corrected with Invisalign. If your problem is too severe for Invisalign, your Aldie, VA dentist will recommend an alternative solution.
Invisalign won’t cut into your busy schedule with frequent dental visits. We’ll schedule visits every 4 to 6 weeks to check your progress and oral health to ensure no problems arise that can delay your treatment. We’ll also schedule biannual dental cleanings to keep plaque and tartar buildup under control during your procedure.
