Traditional braces have been made of stainless steel for over half a century. Generally, braces were reserved for adolescents and teens. Adults whose parents couldn’t afford braces simply accepted their lot in life. Crooked teeth became a part of their identity, albeit possibly diminishing their quality of life and joy of smiling. Fortunately, innovations in orthodontic technology now allow an option of nearly invisible “braces” in the form of clear aligners called Invisalign. Your Evanston cosmetic dentist will tell you why this procedure can offer you cosmetic results both after and during treatment.
Invisalign Advantages
While Invisalign might not be the best option for every single case, if you have gapped, crowded, or misaligned teeth, Invisalign can offer you surprisingly fast and remarkably incognito straightening. If you are well into you adult years, with an established career, this can be the primary selling point of Invisalign. An added bonus is that you can take the clear aligners out when you eat, brush, and floss your teeth. If you’ve ever had a conversation with someone wearing traditional braces that unfortunately has the remains of their last meal caught in the brackets and wires, you can understand what a huge advantage this is (especially in the professional world).
The Invisalign Process
Invisalign is transparent, and fits snugly over your teeth. Your Evanston cosmetic dentist utilizes high-tech three dimensional computer imaging to design a customized treatment plan for your personal orthodontic needs. Once your series of aligners is fabricated by an expert lab, you can take them home with you and begin the straightening process. With around-the-clock wear, and a change to the next in the series every two weeks, Invisalign aligners will gradually and gently shift your teeth into proper alignment.
