If your idea of orthodontics is wearing brackets and wires on your teeth, you’re in for a pleasant surprise! Today, more dentists are recommending Invisalign clear aligners to straighten crooked teeth. Metal braces don’t come near the comfort, convenience and ease of Invisalign. Westwyn Dental LLC in Berwyn, Illinois is your one-stop location for Invisalign near me. A consultation with Drs. Schroyer and Duarte can determine if you’re a good candidate for clear aligner therapy.
Is Invisalign worth it, you ask? Consider the following reasons for Invisalign’s growing popularity:
Ease isn’t something people normally associate with orthodontics, but it aptly describes Invisalign treatment. In place of metal brackets and wires, you’ll use clear, removable aligners made of smooth, thermoplastic material to straighten your teeth. These aligners are comfortable to wear, easy to use and easy to maintain. Once you adapt to wearing the aligner trays, they become second nature, fitting right into your normal routine.
Invisalign aligners are clear and blend in with your teeth, making your orthodontic treatment highly discreet. There’s no hint of a metallic smile with Invisalign. You can continue business as usual without fretting about your appearance.
With metal braces, you must avoid certain foods as they can damage your brace or get caught in the brackets and disrupt your treatment. Invisalign has no dietary restrictions, as the aligners are removed for snacks and meals. This keeps your aligners safe and gives you greater freedom to enjoy all your favorite foods.
Metal braces are permanently attached to your teeth for the duration of your orthodontic treatment. This can make oral hygiene a trying endeavor. Invisalign aligners are removed for brushing and flossing. You can avoid the frustration of cleaning around metal brackets and wires, and keep your teeth healthier and cleaner throughout your procedure.
Invisalign can treat most of the same orthodontic issues as braces with less inconvenience. If you’re experiencing problems with crooked teeth, a misaligned bite, overcrowding, gaps between teeth or overlapping teeth, you could be a candidate for Invisalign. We’ll schedule a consultation to assess your teeth, gums and jaw for orthodontic treatment. At that time, we can determine if Invisalign is a viable option for you.
Unlike metal braces, Invisalign aligners need no adjustments. As such, you’ll spend less time in the dental chair. Your Berwyn, IL Invisalign dentist will schedule appointments as needed to monitor your progress, check your oral health and answer any questions you may have about your procedure.
When considering the effectiveness, Invisalign has a tried and proven track record of achieving successful results. By following the guidelines of your treatment, you’ll reach your goal of a straighter, healthier smile.
