If your bite is not comfortably aligned, or if your teeth are crooked or badly spaced, you may be curious about your orthodontic options for treatment. Depending on the severity of your case, Invisalign might be a great option. Invisalign is a clear, comfortable alternative to braces. Our cosmetic dentist in Hawthorne will work with you to determine if you are a candidate for Invisalign.
Although Invisalign is a great option for many people, only a skilled Invisalign dentist can help you decide if it is the right option for you. The first thing to determine your candidacy is your dental health. Your teeth and gums should be healthy and free of any damage, decay or periodontal disease. Healthy teeth and gums are resilient and will be more likely to respond positively to orthodontic treatment. Good dental health also indicates a commitment to the healthy practices that are needed during treatment with Invisalig
Your specific dental needs will also affect your candidacy. Invisalign can correct many of the same problems that braces correct, but it may not be right for certain severe malocclusions or abnormalities. Overall, the best candidates for Invisalign are those who are fully committed to treatment. You will need to wear your aligners exactly as recommended, which is at least 20 to 22 hours a day, and change them on schedule to ensure optimum results. Call us today to learn more or to schedule your appointment with our expert in Invisalign in Hawthorne.
