If one or both of you is concerned by alignment problems, it is time to talk to your dentist about how Invisalign could help. Invisalign relies on a series of clear, plastic aligner trays, to slowly shift the teeth into more proper alignment.
Unlike traditional braces, there is no metal involved, and this tends to mean more comfort, and increased confidence, as well. In fact, many patients find that most people don’t even notice that they are wearing the trays, which allows for discreet treatment that can lead to a straighter smile, without the embarrassment and discomfort often associated with traditional braces.
Of course, if you only have minor esthetic concerns about your teeth’s spacing, rather than significant or functional issues, the cosmetic dentist might be able to use an alternative to help create a straighter-looking smile. Porcelain veneers, for instance, are a beautiful and natural-looking way to correct teeth that might have minor gaps between them, leading to a more evenly spaced looking smile.
