Straight teeth create a more visibly appealing smile and are usually easier to clean, which translates to better oral health. If you have crooked or improperly spaced teeth, you might be a candidate for orthodontic treatment. Our Torrance dentist can help you decide if Invisalign is right for you.
Invisalign is a popular alternative to conventional metal braces. While metal braces effectively straighten teeth, they often lead to patients feeling self-conscious during treatment, and the brackets and wires can be uncomfortable and catch plaque and food debris. Invisalign aligners are smooth and clear, so they are virtually impossible to see while you wear them. They are taken out of your mouth for meals and snacks, so there is no risk of food getting caught in them. You then brush and floss your teeth before replacing them, which means that dental hygiene is simple and effective with no need for complex routines or expensive tools.
For many people, Invisalign treatment can be completed in less time than conventional metal braces. Most Invisalign patients can have their new smile in just 12 to 18 months. Call our Invisalign doctor today to find out more about the many advantages of Invisalign or to discover if you are a candidate.
