There's plenty of things you can't change about your appearance. Fortunately, a crooked smile isn't one of them. If you'd like straighter teeth, Invisalign treatment offered by your Bridgeport, CT, dentist, Dr. Frank Romano of Romano Dental, may be the perfect option for you.
Improving your smile with Invisalign
Invisalign offers an alternative to metal and ceramic braces. Instead of relying on wires to straighten teeth, the Invisalign system uses clear, removable aligner trays.
Whether you have crooked or crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, or mild to moderate bite problems, you can improve your appearance with Invisalign. (If you have a severe or complicated orthodontic issue, metal braces might be a better choice.)
Your treatment starts with a visit to the Bridgeport dental office. Digital X-rays, images, and impressions are combined to create a virtual 3D model of your mouth. Manipulating the images on the computer screen makes it easy to design a series of aligner trays that will slowly change the position of your teeth.
Invisalign trays fit over your teeth snugly and are worn for about 22 hours per day. You'll only remove them to brush, floss, eat and drink. Each tray is designed to be worn for about two weeks.
If you're thinking about starting Invisalign treatment, you'll enjoy these advantages:
- A More Subtle Straightening Experience: The transparent trays blend in with your teeth and don't call attention to your orthodontic treatment.
- Comfort and Convenience: Stray brace wires and adjustments can make wearing a wire or ceramic braces a little uncomfortable at times. The Invisalign system doesn't use wires that can cut your mouth or require adjustments. Your trays can also be removed occasionally if you'll be playing or practicing a sport or attending a special event.
- No Food Limitations: You won't need to avoid hard or sticky foods like your friends who wear traditional braces. After you remove your trays, you can eat or drink anything you want. Although you can drink water with your trays in place, you should remove the trays before drinking coffee, tea, cola, or other beverages that could stain the plastic trays.
