If you’re a working professional, you may want to obtain an even smile, but worry about the impact of metal braces on your appearance. Which is why we have a clear and barely noticeable option, one that can even be removed before meals. In today’s blog, your Fort Worth, TX, orthodontist talks about the Invisalign® system.
The Invisalign® System
Invisalign® is unique in that it doesn’t require metal brackets or wires at all, and is instead a series of clear plastic aligners. Each one is custom-made for your smile, and is worn daily. A set is usually worn for about two weeks, 20 to 23 hours a day. You then upgrade to the next set in the series and the process continues. The total treatment time varies, but adults usually see optimal results in a year, while teens may need up to 18 months. The exact time depends on the extent of your misalignment and whether you wear the aligners as we prescribe!
Helping Professionals Correct Their Smiles
This means you can wear orthodontics that are nearly invisible, and don’t alter your appearance. They’re comfortable, and can even be removed before meals! No need to alter your diet or change how you eat. The removable nature also means you take them out for big meetings or events (just be sure you still meet your 20 to 22 hours minimum). Being removable also means an easier time brushing and flossing, so you’re less likely to develop teeth stains, cavities, or periodontal issues during treatment. They’re easy to wear, clean, and store, and work with your professional work life!
