Since Invisalign® hit the market over 20 years ago, more than eight million people have perfected their smiles with this clear aligner orthodontic system. Whether you have an abnormal bite or gapped or crooked teeth, Invisalign can likely transform your smile without the nuisance of metal wires and brackets.
At Northwoods Dental Group, we are proud to offer Invisalign® for teens and adults.
Invisalign aligners are a hassle-free, aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional metal braces. They are made from clear, BPA-free plastic, so they are virtually invisible at a glance.
Besides being removable and invisible, Invisalign offers many advantages over old-school traditional wire and bracket braces. Let’s look at five essential reasons patients and dentists love Invisalign.
Invisalign is the only brand that uses the patented SmartTrack material. The elasticity of this material encourages gentle, consistent shifting of your teeth. It’s far more comfortable than traditional braces and more consistent than other clear aligners.
Even though braces are fitted according to your teeth, there’s only so much you can do to tailor metal braces. However, Invisalign dental aligners are made using state-of-the-art scanners that create a precise, 3D model of your teeth. There are no gross teeth molds either. Your dentist quickly captures an accurate 3D image of your teeth digitally. This technology also allows your dentist to project what your teeth will look like every step of the way.
Also, Each aligner is trimmed to your gum line for optimal comfort and appearance. Another plus: no emergency visits for broken wires.
Because Invisalign aligners are removable, you can brush and floss as usual, ensuring that your teeth are beautifully aligned and cavity-free when your orthodontic treatment is complete.
Unlike metal braces, there are no dietary restrictions with Invisalign, again because they are removable. You can eat popcorn, hard candy, and even chew gum. Just be sure to brush and floss afterward!
Invisalign has changed a lot over the years. The data and feedback from over eight million patients have been used to fine-tune the formula, making Invisalign more effective and comfortable.
