If you want to straighten your teeth, an Invisalign Dentist
can transform your smile without pesky wires and brackets. Traditional braces are extremely effective, but
they can be uncomfortable, and an eye soar.
This is especially inconvenient for professionals that don’t want to
change their image or appearance.
Invisalign is the modern alternative that can create the perfect smile
you have been looking for.
Before deciding the best way to straighten your smile, it is
important to schedule a teeth cleaning and examination with our Alexandria
dentist office. We need to first
determine if you have any oral health issues that should be fixed. Things like cavities should be repaired prior
to starting any cosmetic dentistry procedures.
If you are missing any teeth, implant dentistry should also be
considered as a treatment option.
Once your teeth are determined to be in good health, our
dentist will evaluate your teeth to determine the viability of using Invisalign
to straighten your smile. While this is
a fantastic option for many patients, it is not the solution for everyone and
if that is the case we can suggest other cosmetic dentistry procedures like implants
or veneers.
Molds are made of your teeth, and aligners are created for
your specific treatment plan. These
aligners are clear and surround your teeth.
You can comfortably wear them all day without looking like you are wearing
braces or a retainer. We suggest that
you only take them out for eating and cleaning.
Typically, every six weeks you put on a new aligner until your treatment
is complete. This is done at home,
without a trip to the office, making Invisalign a less time consuming treatment
than braces. You will have routine visits
to inspect your progress but these are fairly quick and can be scheduled around
your busy lifestyle.
Most of our patients find this procedure to be a lifesaver
because they can improve their smile without the embarrassment of braces. It is also an ideal option for adults that
had braces as a child and have had their teeth move over time. Braces do not set teeth permanently so
getting braces more than once is extremely common. With Invisalign, those small adjustments can
be made without disrupting your life of appearance.
Not every dentist offers this procedure, so it is important
to work with a local Alexandria dentist office that is experienced. Our team is friendly, welcoming, and
understands the importance a beautiful smile plays in increasing self-confidence
and brightening your world. We will work
with you to develop treatment plans that help you to achieve your goals.
You may also want to undergo teeth whitening prior to
starting your treatment. Your bright
white smile will shine through your aligners and give you increased confidence
to flash those pearly whites. We also recommend a teeth whitening when you are
done with your Invisalign treatment so you can unveil the bright new you with
gusto. To learn more about our cosmetic
dentistry procedures call our Alexandria dentist office at 703-683-0800.
