If you are insecure with the appearance of your smile, you are not alone. Whether you feel that your teeth are not as vibrant as they should be, you need restorative work done, or you are unhappy with the alignment of your smile, we have treatments that can help address your concerns. For patients who want to correct spacing issues between their pearly whites, Invisalign may be able to help you. In today’s blog, your team at Hygge Laser Dentistry in Seattle, WA, is here to talk about the benefits of these clear aligners.
Correct Misalignment Discreetly
Nearly everyone will need orthodontic treatment at some point in their lifetime. For many adults, though, they may put off this treatment because traditional braces may feel unattractive or unprofessional. While there is nothing wrong with this traditional method of brackets and wires, if there are more discreet options available for patients. Invisalign is made of clear aligners that are virtually invisible to others. You will wear these every day and at night to gradually shift your teeth into the correct position. Before getting started on this method, you will need a consultation with your dentist to ensure that you are a good candidate.
A More Comfortable Option Than Braces
Another worry that patients may have before beginning orthodontic treatments is that it will be uncomfortable. When you have braces, you may need to avoid eating certain foods so that you don’t break a bracket. You will also need to come in for adjustments every six to eight weeks, which can cause some discomfort. With Invisalign, you will be able to remove the trays before eating or drinking anything. This allows you to continue eating your favorite meals without worry, and your oral hygiene routine may be more convenient to do. Instead of coming in for adjustments every few weeks, you will instead move on to the next set of trays as instructed by your dentist. You will continue seeing your dentist twice a year but may need less orthodontic appointments than you would need with braces. Many patients find Invisalign more convenient and comfortable than other methods for these reasons.
It’s Never Too Late To Start
In general, it’s recommended to see the orthodontist for the first time around the age of seven. However, if you were unable to have treatment done as a child, it’s never too late to start. When you come in for your orthodontic consultation, we will take the time to get to know you and your goals. We will examine your oral cavity thoroughly to ensure that Invisalign is a suitable option for your needs. After you have been approved for this process, an impression will be made of your smile to create your custom trays.
