How Invisalign Can Resolve Crooked Teeth

There was a crooked man who had crooked teeth who walked a crooked mile to find some food to eat. Now most people are not crooked and do not want crooked teeth but they also do not want a metal mouth look.  So the dilemma is I want straight teeth but do not want to appear as JAWS in the James Bond movies.

There’s good news for you.  We can un-crook your teeth without anyone being the wiser.   How is this possible you ask; since I’ve seen people with the metal wires in their mouths?  Well, today there is clear aligner therapy where clear sequential plastic trays are placed in your mouth to move your teeth into a more pleasing appearance.

Crooked teeth may not be to your liking but in addition to being less than ideal esthetically they can also lead to gum disease and tooth fracture.  When your teeth are out of alignment it is harder to keep them clean due to the overlapping.  This can then lead to gum disease which can take a toll on the rest of your body.  Teeth out of position do not come together correctly leaving a greater chance of fracture or breaking requiring more dental treatment.

We believe patients should brush their teeth twice per day and floss once per day.   With traditional wire braces permanently attached to your teeth you are unable to floss daily.  With clear aligners you remove them when you eat and when you clean your teeth.

All of our patients have adapted to the clear retainers without any issues.  We take orthodontic models when we begin treatment since we find patients are amazed with the result at the end of treatment.  They see their new un-crooked teeth and find it hard to believe their teeth were previously so crooked.

A bonus we have found is that most of our aligner patients actually lose weight during treatment.  No one has ever complained at the end of treatment that now they are more svelte.

Time flies by and patients are amazed how quickly the time flies by and suddenly their treatment is completed.  So if crookedness is not in your vernacular come on in and we will set you on the straight path as far as your teeth are concerned.
