orthodontics as a teenager only to have your teeth shift back to crookedness as an adult. With Invisalign you can have straight teeth that last, and you do not have to wear braces to get them.
Comfortable and ConvenientInvisalign is the best way to straighten your teeth without having to live with the “metal mouth” look of traditional braces. That is because Invisalign is a series of clear, removable, plastic aligners that are custom-made for your teeth. There are no wires or brackets that could irritate your mouth. Few people will notice that you are wearing aligners. They can be removed for special occasions and should be removed for eating and dental hygiene. How Invisalign WorksYou wear each pair of aligners for two weeks, allowing your teeth to gradually be nudged into a smile that shows off the real you. Treatment length varies, depending on your dental condition and the severity of your case. But often a full program of treatment takes less than one year. Patient Before and After: InvisalignStraight Teeth are Healthy TeethCrookedness can lead to more serious dental health problems over time. It promotes tooth decay by making good dental hygiene harder to achieve. Over time, it can cause greater tooth damage and even greater tooth loss than you would otherwise have had. It can also create a bite alignment issue and lead to Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, which has a string of painful symptoms. Yet tooth crookedness is easy to correct using Invisalign and Dr. Kleive can design the best series of aligners for your individual teeth by simply using X-rays, photographs and tooth measurements. He will send this data to the Invisalign company which will custom-create your aligners. Results That LastInvisalign does require a commitment on your part, but the results are well worth the effort. Many patients worry that the results of Invisalign will not last. If you have already undergone extensive orthodontic work as a teenager, but no longer have straight teeth you may be especially cautious. Many things can cause your teeth to shift back out of alignment. Wisdom teeth are a common cause of crowding. Missing teeth can also allow your teeth to shift. When you straighten your teeth as an adult, you no longer have to worry about wisdom teeth growing in and pushing your smile out of shape. Before proceeding with Invisalign, Dr. Kleive will address any other problems that could interfere with the results, such as missing teeth. OptionsDr. Kleive understands that Invisalign is not for everyone. If you have particularly severe crookedness and crowding, you may need to be referred to an orthodontist. On the other hand, if you have only minor crookedness and want a beautiful, straight smile without the time and effort required to truly straighten your teeth, porcelain veneers may be the solution for you.
