You may have already been down the braces road, and perhaps you don’t have the best memories. Let’s face it,0 adolescence can already be awkward enough. Slap a mouthful of cumbersome metal on the teeth of a young teenager and they’re likely to be mortified and embarrassed. If you were one of the many young people that sported traditional braces, you probably got used to them eventually. However, wouldn’t you have loved to have more options? Fast forward to the present, and perhaps your teeth ended up shifting in spite of all of those great efforts on the part of your orthodontist and your parents’ wallets. If you are unhappy with the way your teeth look, whether you had braces at one point, or never got a chance to have your teeth straightened, Invisalign can seem almost like a miracle. Your Winettka cosmetic dentist, Dr. Brent Engelberg, challenges you to this quiz on Invisalign.
Questions
Q1. True or false: Invisalign is flatter and more comfortable than traditional bracket-and-wire braces, but they’re still a bit visually distracting.
Q2. True or false: There are usually talking and discomfort issues from Invisalign.
Q3. True or false: Invisalign is a one-size-fits-all treatment.
Answers
A1. FALSE – It might sound like science fiction that a method for straightening your teeth might exist that does the job so inconspicuously, but it’s true. Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible, and definitely more comfortable than the older alternatives.
A2. FALSE – Invisalign is an amazing system where you change your clear aligners roughly every two weeks. The best part is that you can toss aside embarrassment in the work place when you wear invisible braces. The aligners generally don’t bother patients with any discomfort or speech challenges. Invisalign does not require a specialty orthodontist, but rather a dentist who is trained on and provides the treatment.
A3. FALSE – Invisalign is customized to each individual patient to suit their specific orthodontic needs.
