Straight teeth are not only beautiful, but they are healthier for the mouth. Straight teeth allow for even bites and easy cleaning. Though straight teeth are often a desire, many patients avoid straightening their teeth because they do not want to deal with braces. Fortunately, here at Smiles of Cary in Cary, NC, we offer multiple types of straightening systems, including Invisalign. Invisalign is a convenient and nearly invisible way to straighten teeth.
Invisalign is unlike braces because you can take them off to eat and clean your teeth. You will never need to avoid certain types of food or use special supplies to brush and floss. You can eat sticky, crunchy, or hard foods all you like.
In addition, Invisalign is a series of clear plastic aligners. They are made from impressions of your teeth, so when you put them on, they are almost invisible! This is a huge plus for anyone who is avoiding braces due to the metal mouth look!
Invisalign works by making minor changes to each set of aligners. The aligners are changed out every two weeks. For teens, it takes an average of two years for treatment. For adults, the average is one year. Over this time, the aligners will shift the teeth into their directed position. The end result is a beautifully straightened smile!
If you think Invisalign may be the perfect option for you, be sure to schedule a consultation with us! To schedule your appointment, call our Cary, NC office at (919) 462-3350 or visit our Smiles of Cary website, www.smilesofcary.com.
