Why Invisalign Is A Great Alternative To Traditional Braces

by | Mar 1, 2012 | Health Care

Have you ever thought it would be possible to get straight teeth without having to wear braces? If you or your child has been told you need braces to straighten your teeth, and you are a bit apprehensive about braces, you do have another option.   You can get straight teeth with Invisalign Forest.  Invisalign uses clear aligners that go over your teeth and straighten them the same way braces do.  They are virtually invisible so you do  not have to worry about people knowing you are wearing them.  They are also removable so you can still eat the foods you love and not worry about food getting stuck.  For people with braces, certain foods are off limits and some foods get lodged in the braces and require lots of brushing to get them clean.  Wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have to worry about that?

If you are curious about Invisalign Forest, make an appointment with your dentist or orthodontist for a consultation. They will be able to answer all your questions about Invisalign.  They can examine your teeth and help you decide if Invisalign is right for you.   Invisalign helps people with overly crowded teeth, spaced teeth, overbites, crossbites and underbites.   Invisalign costs more than traditional braces, but most people find the benefits and results greatly outweigh the price.  Many dental insurance plans also cover some of the cost of Invisalign.  Talk to your dentist or insurance company to find out how much is covered and what your final cost of Invisalign will be.

Once you have decided to get Invisalign, Forest, your dentist or orthodontist will get to work creating custom made aligners for you. A series of molds will be taken of your teeth to insure you get the best fit. The aligners are clear and smooth and made of BPA-free plastic.  The aligners will slowly and gradually shift your teeth into place.  All the while, you will feel very comfortable wearing your Invisalign aligners.  About every two weeks, you will get a new set of aligners that will shift your teeth into the next position. After about a year, your Invisalign process will be complete and your end result will be straight teeth.

There are many reasons to choose Invisalign Forest over braces.  Nobody will know you are wearing them, you will be able to eat the foods you love with no problem, and brushing and caring for your teeth will be as easier than it would with braces.  Talk to your dentist to see if Invisalign is right for you.
