How the Invisalign Process Blends Science, Style, and Subtlety
Did you skip getting metal braces in high school, or did you wear them but find that your teeth have shifted back? Today’s orthodontics offer a discreet and comfortable solution: Invisalign clear aligners. Dr. Kelli Brady at Kelli Brady DDS in New York, New York, is here to help.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses transparent, custom-made aligners that gently move teeth to their right positions. There is no need for bulky brackets and wires that give you a metal mouth. Invisalign clear aligners are made from a special material called SmartTrack®, which is more comfortable and allows for predictable tooth movement.
How Is Invisalign Different from Traditional Braces?
The biggest difference is that you can barely see the aligners. A huge plus. Because they’re clear, most people won’t even know you’re straightening your teeth. You can take them out for a big work presentation or a special occasion.
The second bonus? They’re removable. No major life disruptions. No having to do dental floss gymnastics to take care of your teeth. And maybe best of all? You can still eat all the foods you love. Hello, popcorn and corn on the cob!
What Are the Benefits of Choosing Invisalign for Teeth Straightening Instead of Metal Braces?
Choosing Invisalign comes with some really great benefits.
- They’re nearly invisible, a discreet option.
- Oral hygiene is easy. Pop the aligners out to brush and floss as usual.
- You can eat whatever you want.
- The aligners apply gentle pressure, which is more comfortable than traditional braces.
- They beautifully fit right into your lifestyle.
What Happens During My First Consultation at an Invisalign Office Near Me?
Dr. Brady’s team will take digital X-rays and photos and use a scanner to create a precise 3D image of your teeth. Using this digital model, Dr. Brady will map out your entire treatment plan. And this is awesome: You’ll be able to see a simulation of how your teeth will move and what your smile will look like when the Invisalign process is finished.
