Kingston TN
Most people are not born with what it takes to eventually flaunt a straight, perfect smile. Many factors can lead to crowded or crooked teeth, including a mouth that’s too small for all the teeth that demand room or teeth that are too large for the space available to them.
Smiling with crooked teeth can harm self-confidence and lead to a person hiding their teeth in person or in photos. This can wreak havoc on someone’s personal and professional lives. But as a teen or adult, the thought of wearing awkward, traditional metal braces can be just as embarrassing as having misaligned teeth.
Thankfully, advancements in dental technology have led to a more discreet and comfortable way to straighten teeth in a fraction of the time it takes for braces. If you’re looking for ways to straighten your teeth, you’re in luck today because our cosmetic dentist that offers Invisalign in Kingston has compiled some pertinent information for you about the benefits of Invisalign for straightening teeth.
Invisible
Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign uses clear, customized, plastic trays to straighten the teeth so hardly anyone is aware you’re undergoing treatment even while the trays are working their magic. This is the main factor in our patients’ decisions to choose clear aligner therapy over braces.
Comfortable
Metal brackets and wires with traditional braces rub and poke the inside of mouths and require frequent adjustments at the dentist’s office, often causing tooth and gum soreness for days. Invisalign, on the other hand, uses clear aligner trays that are customized for individual patients by our Harriman cosmetic dentists who specialize in Invisalign. This means that the trays are customized for a patient’s particular smile and fit snugly over the teeth and around the gums.
Removable
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign trays are removable for brushing, flossing, eating and drinking anything other than water. Invisalign must be worn for 22 hours out of each 24-hour day.
Quick
The size of Invisalign trays changes every two weeks, becoming smaller each time. This helps gently and quickly shift the teeth into their proper alignment. Unlike traditional braces that take a couple years to correct teeth, Invisalign’s straightening usually happens a lot quicker — sometimes in just a year!
