Invisalign, A Modern Approach to Correcting Orthodontic Issues

As long as there are crooked smiles to fix, there will be orthodontic treatments. The good news is that orthodontic dentistry is constantly advancing to provide better, easier, more effective services. That’s where Invisalign comes in. Invisalign takes a modern approach to correcting orthodontic issues, making your treatment easier and less time-consuming. You benefit from the same teeth-straightening results as traditional metal braces without all the inconveniences. If you need teeth straightening services, talk to Drs. Kisha Carter or Jaime Kim from BLUSH Dental Studio, East Point, Georgia, about your options for Invisalign orthodontics. 

About Invisalign Orthodontics

Invisalign and traditional metal braces have one thing in common: they’re both effective at straightening crooked teeth. How they work, however, is another story. Whereas conventional braces use metal brackets and wires to realign your smile, Invisalign uses a series of plastic teeth straightening trays or aligners to get the same beautiful results. These aligners will be custom designed to provide optimal comfort and performance. 

When worn, your aligner trays gently pressure your teeth to slowly realign them into a straighter position. After assessing your smile and getting your input on how you’d like your smile to be, our dentists will outline a treatment plan to make your dream smile come true. 

Invisalign Amenities

With Invisalign, you can enjoy such amenities as:

• Removable aligners for eating and dental hygiene, making it easier to eat comfortably and keep your teeth clean.
• Greater discretion in straightening your teeth as Invisalign trays are made of clear plastic that’s barely noticeable on your teeth.
• Metal-free aligners that won’t irritate your gums or cheeks.
• Fewer dental visits as your aligners have no hardware that needs adjusting. Your dentist may schedule appointments every 5-6 weeks to check on your treatment progress.
• A perfectly aligned smile in as little as 12-18 months.

Orthodontic Issues Invisalign Can Fix

Invisalign can effectively correct such issues as: 

• Overbites, underbites, and crossbites
• Gaps between your teeth
• Crooked or misaligned teeth
• Overcrowding
• Uneven or twisted teeth

However, you’ll need to follow your dentist’s instructions on your aligner use for optimal results. Your commitment to wearing your aligners 20-22 hours daily is key to the success of your treatment. Every few weeks, you’ll upgrade your aligners to the next set in your series to continue realigning your teeth until your treatment is complete. 

Correcting orthodontic issues will improve your smile, overall appearance, and oral health – a win-win all the way around. Your teeth will be easier to clean, which can reduce plaque buildup to prevent decay and gum disease. Reducing problems with overcrowding will improve your bite, facilitate chewing and minimize wear and tear on your pearly whites to keep them healthy and strong long-term.
