Who doesn’t want a perfect smile? But how to get one? Invisalign has become a popular alternative to braces for many reasons. If you have crowded, gapped, misaligned, or crooked teeth then Dr. Jennifer Sarantos and Dr. Keith Wester at Wester Dental Care in Portage, MI can help you determine if Invisalign is the better option over braces to give you the smile you’ve always longed for.
Is Invisalign Better Than Metal Braces?
Invisalign is a set of clear retainers that are worn in succession to help gently nudge crooked or misaligned teeth into a more appealing placement in your jaw. The result is a beautiful smile over time without having to suffer through a “metal mouth.” The retainers are translucent and can be worn most of the day and night, but taken out when you need to eat, drink, brush, or floss, so they can support dental hygiene, while also helping you look your best while your smile is in the process of transformation. Invisalign retainers are practically unnoticeable to others.
You also don’t need to visit your orthodontist to have your braces “tightened.” You do have to check in with your dentist periodically to make sure your retainers are working to move your teeth as intended and to make sure you're following your unique treatment, but your treatment plan allows you to switch out one retainer for another without visiting an orthodontist or dentist as often as you would have to with metal braces. Invisalign is perfect for busy people.
Invisalign can improve a smile with many common issues, including
- Crowding
- Misaligned teeth
- Underbite
- Overbite
- Crossbite
- Gaps in your smile
