Straight teeth for a healthier smile
Many people choose to straighten their teeth for cosmetic reasons, and it’s true that it can greatly boost your self-confidence. However, there are also several important medical reasons to align your teeth, including:
Invisalign for a discreet alternative
For patients seeking a nearly invisible teeth straightening treatment, we’re proud to offer world-class Invisalign aligners. These clear aligners provide an almost invisible solution for perfecting your smile. As Platinum providers, our highly skilled dentists use cutting-edge technology to help you achieve a beautifully straight smile with precision and comfort.
Teeth straightening frequently asked questions
What are the options if I don’t want visible braces?
If you prefer a less visible option, consider alternatives like ceramic braces, which blend with your teeth, or Invisalign clear aligners, which are virtually invisible. Your dentist can discuss these options and help you choose the best solution for your needs.
How long does teeth straightening treatment typically take?
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of your case. Most Invisalign treatments take between 6-18 months. During your free consultation, our dentists can provide a more accurate timeline for your specific needs.
Is teeth straightening painful?
You may experience some discomfort for a few days after receiving new aligners as your teeth begin to move. This is completely normal and temporary. Most patients describe it as pressure rather than pain, and it can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief if needed.
Am I too old for teeth straightening?
Absolutely not! Many of our patients are adults. Teeth can be successfully straightened at any age, and with Invisalign's discreet appearance, more adults than ever are choosing to improve their smiles.
How do I care for my teeth during Invisalign treatment?
With Invisalign, oral hygiene is straightforward as you remove the aligners for brushing and flossing. We recommend cleaning your aligners daily with the appropriate cleaning solution or as directed by your dentist to keep them clear and hygienic.
Will Invisalign affect my speech?
Some patients experience a slight lisp when first wearing aligners, but this typically resolves within a few days as you adjust. Most people find their speech returns to normal very quickly.
