When your teeth are crooked or misaligned it presents many challenges. You may feel self conscious about the appearance of your smile, which affects your relationships. You may have trouble keeping your teeth clean and plaque free, which puts you at a higher risk for tooth decay and gum disease. You may have considered straightening your teeth, but who wants to attend the next business dinner with bulky metal braces? The good news is that Invisalign in Bloomfield, CT can improve your smile and your confidence by discreetly straightening your teeth.
What is Invisalign?
Instead of utilizing traditional braces, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to apply gentle pressure and straighten your teeth gradually over time. You’ll wear your aligners 20-22 hours per day and change them every two weeks. Most Invisalign cases take 12-18 months to complete, and the result will be a smile that you’re proud to share with the world!
What are the Benefits of Invisalign?
The biggest benefit that Invisalign offers is the option to straighten your teeth discreetly. Because your aligners are made of clear plastic they are virtually invisible. You’ll be able to smile, talk and participate in all of your normal daily activities without anyone noticing that you’re straightening your teeth.
Because your aligners are removable, you can take them out for eating, brushing, flossing and the occasional meeting or big event. With Invisalign, there are no restrictions to your diet like there is with traditional braces, and your home care routine won’t change at all.
Am I a Candidate for Invisalign?
