Invisalign is the Clear Alternative

If you have always wanted a straighter smile, but never got the opportunity to wear braces when you were young, you can now with the clear alternative to old school metal wires and brackets. Most adults cringe at the thought of wearing metal braces, which can look bulky and unprofessional.

Call and schedule an appointment with your Wildwood Dentist who can determine if you are a good candidate for Invisalign. If you are, your teeth could be straighter in as little as 12 months.

Invisalign is a series of clear plastic aligners that are custom made to fit your teeth. You will wear between 11 and 31 pairs of clear plastic aligners swapping them out every two weeks, and because you swap them out yourself, you will only need to see your dentist every six weeks to make sure that everything is going according to plan.

You will wear your Invisalign clear plastic aligners 20 to 22 hours each day. The only time you will remove your aligners is when you eat, brush, and floss. Because you remove your aligners when you eat, you are less susceptible to tooth decay. With conventional metal braces, it is impossible to brush behind the appliance allowing bacteria to eat away at the enamel on your teeth. Once your braces are attached to your teeth, they must remain until your orthodontist removes them, which could be up to two years.

One of the best things about Invisalign is that nobody will know you are wearing them except for you and your dentist. The clear plastic aligners are nearly invisible and are much more comfortable than traditional brackets and wires.

Another advantage when it comes to Invisalign is safety. Old school braces are wire and have bits of metal that can protrude and actually scratch or even puncture the insides of your mouth and your gums. Metal braces can also demineralize your natural tooth and use force to straighten your teeth. Invisalign has none of those issues.
