This is a busy time of year for all of us between shopping for presents, finishing up projects, and preparing for a new year. Your team at Allen and Neumann Family Dentistry in Pella, IA, is here to help you achieve the oral health goals you have for 2025. If one of your resolutions is to straighten your smile in the next year, we have comfortable and discreet treatment that can help you. In today’s blog, we’re here to talk about how Invisalign clear aligners work for our patients.
Invisalign is a method of orthodontics that uses clear aligner trays to gradually shift your teeth into the correct position. Like traditional braces, this method can help solve a variety of troubles, from large spaces between your teeth to overlapping dental structures. However, Invisalign may offer a few advantages of orthodontic braces that teenage or adult patients may prefer. One benefit of this method is that it is more discreet than brackets and wires. Your trays fit precisely to your teeth and are made of a clear acrylic, making them virtually invisible to others. They may also be more comfortable than braces because there are no brackets, wires, or bands necessary during treatment. Your treatment can also be completed in about the same amount of time as braces, so you can accomplish a straight smile in less time.
Many patients can qualify for this discreet treatment, but before getting started you will need a consultation with your dentist. They will carefully examine your teeth and gums to ensure you are in good oral health. If your misalignment concerns are mild to moderate, you may be approved for this treatment. After you have been approved, your dentist will take an impression of your oral cavity to create your custom trays. When they are ready, you will wear each set of trays for a few weeks as instructed by your dentist. Remember to remove them for meals or before doing your oral hygiene routine.
Invisalign can help you improve the appearance of your smile and boost your confidence. We also offer other cosmetic treatments to help you achieve the smile of your dreams. Treatments such as professional teeth whitening or porcelain veneers help remove blemishes, disguise imperfections, and achieve a more balanced smile. To learn more about these treatment options, talk to your dentist today to learn more about your cosmetic treatments.
