When Invisalign is the Preferred Treatment Method
06/24/2015 11:40

The benefits that come with Invisalign surpass just its ability to correct teeth without disrupting appearance. Invisalign treatment also supports goals related to comfort, oral health and treatment time. For these reasons, many patients have this orthodontic option recommended to them by our cosmetic dentist in San Francisco.
Patients who would prefer avoiding the drawbacks associated with metal braces may find that Invisalign better addresses their concerns. For example, patients who play wind instruments or engage in action sports will have more benefits choosing Invisalign, because it does not cause oral abrasion or prevent normal oral functioning. Patients who have a higher risk of tooth decay and gum disease may also benefit from using Invisalign, as the aligners can be removed for thorough daily brushing and flossing. Overall, anyone who would like to have a better-looking, healthier smile in less than two years should look into Invisalign treatment. Invisalign can correct teeth in an average of 15 months.
Our dentist may recommend additional orthodontic treatment for some cases. For example, to achieve vertical tooth repositioning or extensive tooth rotation, metal braces may be necessary. Patients can schedule a consultation with our expert in Invisalign in San Francisco to find out if this treatment is ideal for them.
