No one should have to be self conscious about their smile. With Invisalign®, Wauwatosa, WI residents can straighten their smile without calling attention to their treatment.
In addition to the aesthetic benefits of Invisalign® treatments, correcting misaligned teeth provides a number of health benefits. Straighter smiles can prevent jaw strain, chronic headaches, cracked teeth and more!
Invisalign® Aligners vs Traditional Braces
The virtually invisible aligners used for Invisalign® treatments allow you to correct your smile discreetly. Traditional metal braces, on the other hand, are clearly visible every time you flash your pearly whites.
It’s common for teens and young adults to avoid seeking help for their teeth out of fear for how it will affect their appearance during treatment. But with Invisalign®, no one will be able to tell that you’re on the path to the smile you’ve always wanted.
Traditional braces also limit the kinds of foods you can eat. Anything hard or sticky can pose a problem. This eliminates popcorn, pretzels, gum, and a variety of other foods. Conversely, Invisalign® aligners are designed to be removed when you eat, allowing you to maintain any diet you choose. That said, it’s always a good idea to limit your intake of sweets.
Patients interested in Invisalign® near Wauwatosa, WI should also be excited to know that treatments are relatively quick. Although every treatment plan is different, many patients will achieve their desired results within 12 to 18 months. As a comparison, traditional braces take an average of 24 months.
Both Invisalign® treatments and traditional braces will cause occasional pain as they shift your teeth into place. However, that pain tends to be less pronounced with Invisalign® aligners. Plus, the plastic aligners are far more gentle on the insides of your cheeks than traditional braces are.
Treatment With Invisalign® Near Wauwatosa, WI
Invisalign® treatment plans require patients to wear their aligners for 20 – 22 hours a day. You should only remove your aligners to eat, drink (beverages other than water), brush, or floss. Roughly every two weeks, you’ll swap your aligners for a new set to continue the movement. Then every six weeks you’ll come to the office so we can monitor your progress and provide you with three more pairs of aligners.
