Creating a straight smile doesn't happen overnight, but there is an easy way to align your teeth discreetly, effectively, and in a timely manner: Invisalign.
At University Dental Care in University City, we offer Invisalign treatments that offer impressive, permanent straightening results for crooked or unevenly spaced teeth. With Invisalign, a picture-perfect grin can be yours in just months.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a series of clear plastic aligners that are custom-made to fit over your teeth. At our University City office, we will take a mold of your teeth in order to craft a set of aligners that fit snuggly but comfortably over your teeth. Each set is worn for a few weeks before you graduate to the next set. By your last set of aligners, your teeth will be straight and even.
What are the advantages of Invisalign?
Invisalign is a popular choice due to its discreetness. While braces and retainers are visible, aligners are clear and fitted, making them inconspicuous. Invisalign may also be more comfortable, as it targets a section of teeth at a time rather than the whole set, leading to less pressure in your mouth.
Invisalign also offers convenience, as you only need to keep track of your aligners for a couple of weeks before receiving your next set from our University City office. Worn for 22 hours a day, your aligners can be easily removed for eating and brushing your teeth, and they straighten your teeth even as you sleep. Aligners also offer the benefit of keeping your teeth whiter, as they repel stains when worn while drinking coffee or tea.
Invisalign works more rapidly than other forms of straightening. While braces or retainers may require years of wear, Invisalign treatments are usually complete in 12 months.
