If we told you that you could get your teeth straightened without having to wear traditional metal braces and the tangle of wires and brackets that are an integral part of them, would you be interested? At Cavalier Family Dental, we think that you will be. Having teeth that are not properly aligned can make you feel self-conscious when you smile. In addition, crooked teeth leave you more open to the effects brought on by plaque, including tooth decay and gum disease. That's because your teeth are harder to floss between effectively. But with our Canton MI Invisalign, you won't have to worry about any of those concerns.
So what is Invisalign then? You can call it invisible braces. Or you could also describe it as a system of clear aligners made out of plastic instead of metal. They are virtually undetectable to the eye and allow you to go about your daily routine without feeling awkward about what other people see. No nosy questions to answer. And because they are made of plastic, they are more comfortable and won't dig into your gums the way that metal braces can. We say “they” because instead of one set of braces, you will wear from as few as 12 to as many as 48 aligners during the course of treatment with our Canton MI Invisalign.
They are removable, but you will only take them out to brush, floss, and eat. This gives you the advantage of not having any annoying food restrictions to observe. Eat whatever you want. No need to worry about it getting stuck. Other than those exceptions, you will wear our Canton MI Invisalign all day and all night, even while you sleep. Each one serves its purpose in the strategy of re-aligning your teeth. You wear one for about two weeks and then move on to the next in the series. The exact number of aligners, along with an estimate of how long your course of treatment should take, will be discussed as part of your exam and consultation. Call us today to schedule an appointment and find out if you're a good candidate for invisible braces.
