How to Renew Your Smile & Straighten Teeth with Invisalign
Dr. David Blaustein takes a modern approach to straightening crooked teeth with Invisalign clear aligners custom made for his patients. If you’ve ever wanted to straighten your teeth but cringe at the thought of traditional metal braces, you’re not alone. Metal braces are not only awkward and unsightly, they come with a lot of responsibility when it comes to daily care. Fortunately, there’s a much more fashionable and convenient orthodontic option for teens and adults who want a confident, beautiful smile – Invisalign plastic aligners!
This novel system works just like braces to help straighten teeth, fix spacing issues and enhance one’s smile, but without the hassle and headache of rubber bands, painful head gear and a mouth full of metal.
Comfortable teeth straightening with Invisalign
You may be wondering how clear plastic aligners (akin to tooth whitening trays, but much thinner) can improve your smile. Using modern 3D technology, Dr. Blaustein creates new custom aligners every few weeks, which help the teeth gradually shift into a more aesthetically balanced position. The entire process typically lasts 15 months or less, and is just as affordable than metal braces. Aside from their inconspicuous, virtually invisible appearance, Invisalign aligners are also removable, which means you can eat freely without worrying about trapped food. And since the aligners are crafted from smooth plastic with no sharp edges or metal parts, Invisalign is pain-free. In fact, most patients forget they’re even wearing them!
Problems addressed by Invisalign
Invisalign treatment plans require that patients wear the aligners at least 20-22 hours every day. But the trays can be removed for brushing, flossing and meals – not to mention special occasions. This clear alternative to braces addresses a wide range of dental challenges, whether you have gapped teeth, overcrowding or other aesthetic or functional problems.
Dr. Blaustein has effectively corrected the following dental issues with Invisalign:
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Malocclusion (misaligned bite)
- Crooked teeth
- Tilted teeth
- Overlapped teeth
- Cross bite caused by misaligned upper and lower jaws
- Open bite – opposing teeth that do not make contact, causing chewing discomfort
Many teens and adults prefer Invisalign because they are discreet, deliver fantastic results in a relatively short time span, and can be removed for eating and drinking.
Given the many benefits of Invisalign, what’s not to love about the system? It can accomplish most tasks that metal braces can, but with more comfort and convenience. If you want straight teeth and a beautiful smile without anyone noticing your orthodontics, Invisalign is a great choice.
