Invisalign in High Point, NC

Do your crooked teeth bother you? Maybe you never had the opportunity to have braces as a child. Maybe you had braces, but your teeth have since drifted back out of alignment. Whatever your concern, you’re tired of being greeted every morning by a smile that doesn’t make you happy – but you’re not interested in years of orthodontic therapy with a mouthful of brackets and wires.

You have other options for fixing teeth without braces.

You may have heard of Invisalign before. Sometimes known as “invisible braces,” this innovative system of clear aligners allows you to receive the orthodontic treatment you need in almost complete anonymity. Many celebrities including the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Katherine Heigl, Katy Perry, Emma Stone, and Tom Cruise have straightened their teeth using Invisalign to get the camera-ready smiles that are so familiar.

What Is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment system that uses clear plastic trays that slip over your teeth and are worn day and night to gradually move your teeth into the appropriate alignment.

Because the aligners are thin and clear, most people will never be able to tell that you have them on your teeth much like hidden braces, even when you’re working with clients or giving a presentation. Adults love the system because they can maintain a mature and professional appearance, and teenagers love Invisalign Teen because they don’t have to deal with the hassle and discomfort of traditional braces.

Often, when people are considering orthodontics or contemplating the cost of orthodontic braces, their search starts because they don’t like the appearance of their crooked front teeth or their crowded lower teeth. But the truth is that crooked teeth are more than just an aesthetic concern.

When your teeth are crooked, crowded, twisted, gapped, or otherwise out of alignment, it paves the way for serious dental problems down the road.

For instance, when your teeth are packed together too tightly, it becomes all but impossible to clean the spaces in between them. In time, this leads to decay and periodontal disease.

Teeth that are too far apart, on the other hand, have a tendency to trap bits of food until you brush and dislodge these bits, which causes gum disease and bad breath.

Teeth that are twisted or otherwise misplaced also put extra pressure on your other teeth, which they were never meant to handle. This can lead to problems like teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw pain, loose teeth, and eroded teeth.

Invisalign can help treat all of these problems both gently and effectively – with nobody the wiser.

Aside from the obvious aesthetic advantage such as providing clear braces for kids, Invisalign orthodontic treatment has these perks too:

• You remove the aligners to eat, which means that your food choices are never limited.
• When it’s time to brush your teeth, you simply remove your Invisalign aligner, brush and floss, clean your aligner, and then replace it. No attempting to brush around brackets or thread your floss through wires.
• Instead of constantly visiting the dentist to have wires tightened, you simply toss your old aligner and switch to the next one in the series that we have prescribed for you, making fixing teeth without braces very convenient.
