Can I Straighten My Teeth at Any Age?
Have you been yearning for a straight smile? At Bridget Singh, DDS, we have great news: it’s never too late to perfect your smile with Invisalign. The leading clear aligner system offers teens and adults a discreet and convenient way to align their smiles without the need for metal braces. Begin your journey to a healthier, more confident smile with us today!
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign by Align Technology is a revolutionary alternative to traditional metal braces. It uses custom-fitted clear aligners made from a smooth, transparent thermoplastic material that places gentle pressure on your teeth, gently moving them into alignment. The best part? Your custom aligners are virtually invisible, so most people won’t even notice you’re wearing them!
What Can You Expect with Invisalign?
Your Invisalign process starts with a consultation with Dr. Singh, who will assess your unique needs and help you determine whether Invisalign treatment is right for you. Using advanced digital imaging technology, she will create precise scans of your teeth to design your custom treatment plan. You’ll even get to preview your new smile.
An Invisalign lab will create a series of aligners customized to your unique needs. You’ll need to wear your aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat, drink, brush, and floss. Every week or two, you’ll switch to the next set of aligners in the series, which will continue to guide your teeth into their desired positions. Periodic check-ups with Dr. Singh will ensure your treatment stays on track.
Once you achieve the straight smile of your dreams, we will provide you with custom retainers tol prevent your teeth from moving back to their original positions.
What Are the Benefits of Invisalign?
Invisalign offers numerous benefits, including the following:
- Discreet Appearance: Invisalign’s aligners are nearly invisible, making them a perfect choice for those wanting straighter smiles without metal braces interfering with their appearance.
- Comfortable: Your aligners are made of a smooth thermoplastic material that’s much more comfortable than the metal wires and brackets of traditional braces.
- Removable: The aligners are removable, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without restriction and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine with ease.
- Predictable: Invisalign features a unique combination of technologies, including the SmartTrack material and SmartForce attachments, designed to shift your teeth into position with incredible precision.
- Versatile: Invisalign can correct a variety of orthodontic issues, such as crowding, misalignment, spacing, and bite problems.
- Faster Treatment Time: Although the treatment duration can vary depending on individual needs, patients can often complete their Invisalign treatment up to 50% faster than traditional braces.
- Better Oral Health: Straighter teeth are easier to clean, making them less prone to gum disease and tooth decay and they reduce wear and tear on your teeth and jaws, lowering the risk of TMJ pain.
