Are crooked teeth keeping you away from photo ops? Do you find yourself turning off your camera during Zoom meetings because of how your teeth look? Have you considered straightening your teeth but would prefer not to wear braces?
Clear aligners with Invisalign® may be the solution you're looking for! Here's what you should know.
How Does Invisalign in DUMBO Work?
Instead of using brackets and wires to straighten teeth, Invisalign uses clear, plastic, BPA-free aligners. The aligners are customized to fit snugly against your teeth and gently push them into the correct position. Here are some of the problems that Invisalign can correct:
- Overbites
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Crooked teeth
- Protruding or twisted teeth
- Overlapping or overcrowded teeth
- Gaps and spacing between teeth
While clear aligners work well for most patients, they can't correct complex bite concerns. The best way to determine the right treatment for your needs is to complete an evaluation with one of our dentists. They'll use photos, x-rays, 3-D imaging, and a thorough exam to gather information about your smile. Using this information, they'll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. If Invisalign is not right for your needs, they'll discuss alternative treatment options with you.
What Are the Advantages of Clear Aligners?
Clear aligners offer our patients several advantages that they really appreciate:
- Discretion — No one will notice that you're straightening your teeth since the aligners are clear
- Freedom — You'll get to enjoy all the foods you normally love during treatment since your aligners are removable
- Ease of Care — Keeping your teeth clean during treatment is a breeze since you don't have to navigate around brackets and wires
- Comfort — Clear aligners are smooth and comfortable to wear, instead of brackets and wires, which can irritate soft tissues
