Enjoy Straight Teeth With Invisalign Clear Aligners

Having straight teeth is one of the most desirable attributes of a beautiful smile. If you have been living with crooked teeth but have been hesitant about choosing traditional orthodontic treatment, you may be the perfect candidate for Invisalign treatment. Invisalign is an effective, discreet alternative to braces that uses clear aligners to give you the straight teeth you have dreamed about. At Williams Family and Cosmetic Dentistry, we are proud to be able to help our patients in Brandon, Florida, achieve healthier, more attractive smiles with Invisalign treatment.

How Invisalign aligners are different than traditional braces

Both traditional braces and Invisalign aligners are designed to address bite problems and straighten teeth; however, the treatments work in significantly different ways. Traditional braces consist of metal brackets and wires that place a constant force on all the teeth at once to move them into optimal alignment. While effective, there are some disadvantages to traditional braces:

• Discomfort from the tightening of brackets and wires
• A long list of “off-limit” foods to prevent brackets from detaching from teeth
• Brackets and wires are highly visible while attached to the teeth

Invisalign is designed to address the same problems as traditional braces, but it does so with consecutive sets of clear aligner trays that effectively align the teeth.

Some of the most notable benefits of Invisalign aligners are:

• Comfort – Invisalign’s clear aligners are made from a comfortable, BPA-free plastic designed to feel natural when worn.
• Custom – The aligners are individually-tailored to your teeth and desired results. Each patient receives a unique set of aligners that gradually reposition teeth, making the treatment less uncomfortable than traditional braces.
• Convenience – You can remove the aligners to eat and clean your teeth. That means you’ll no longer be faced with a long list of foods that you cannot enjoy. Additionally, effectively brushing and flossing reduces the risk of tooth decay while undergoing orthodontic treatment.
• Versatility – Invisalign can correct the same list of issues as traditional braces. Whether you have crooked teeth, crowding, bite problems or gaps, you can achieve a straighter smile without compromising.
