Is Invisalign Right for You?

One of the best ways to achieve a straightened smile with the least amount of trouble is to wear Invisalign braces, as this innovative system fixes the positioning of teeth without the need for a clunky, unattractive, uncomfortable metal framework. Read below to learn more about this advanced orthodontic treatment, and call Hilton Head Dental Team in Hilton Head Island, SC, if you are interested in Invisalign.

How Invisalign Helps
Invisalign is an orthodontic system that requires the patient to wear a series of plastic, molded, tooth-shaped trays over a set period of time which can range from six months to over a year, depending on the individual's orthodontic needs. The trays have grooves for the teeth that encourage them to change position slowly and gently, and as they conform to the mold of each Invisalign tray, the teeth settle into their new alignment. The result is a straighter, more properly arranged set of teeth that you can feel confident about!

Is This Treatment Right for You?
Invisalign treatment is not ideal for every patient, but it might be just right for you. You may be a good candidate if any of the following points apply to your case:

- You are in good general dental health with strong bone tissue, which can be confirmed by your Hilton Head Island dentist.
- Your orthodontic problem is relatively minor, such as a small gap between the front teeth, a slight protrusion, or a bit of crowding.
- You have the discipline to wear a plastic tray at least 20 to 22 hours per day.

Other Benefits of “Invisible” Braces
Sometimes Invisalign braces are called “invisible” braces because many people don’t notice that you’re wearing them—at least not until you are up close and personal with them. This is one of the reasons why it’s such an in-demand orthodontic treatment. Another major benefit to Invisalign is that it gives you certain freedoms that you can’t get with standard metal braces. For instance, you can remove them to eat, brush, and floss properly each day.

How to Start Invisalign Treatment
Once you make the decision to straighten your teeth using Invisalign braces, the next step is to have your dentist model your smile to create the plastic trays you’ll need to wear.
