In our last post we highlighted our Natick office’s commitment to restoring smiles with restorative dentistry. Today we’d like to focus on another service that can help, one that has more to do with cosmetic dentistry but still has a restorative function. It’s called Invisalign.
If you’ve never heard of it before, Invisalign is an orthodontic solution that uses clear, custom-made aligners to straighten teeth instead of metal brackets and wires. That means patients who have avoided orthodontic care in the past over fears of wearing braces can finally get the treatment they deserve with Invisalign.
But not only is Invisalign clear, making orthodontic treatment more discreet than ever before, the length of time it takes to complete treatment is shorter, too. Patients may have to spend years behind traditional braces, while Natick patients who choose Invisalign may only need Invisalign for 6-12 months.
What’s more, because Invisalign’s aligners are removable, straightening your smile with Invisalign is incredibly convenient. You never have to give up your favorite foods because you can just take your aligners out when you eat. And because you can take your aligners out, you can brush and floss more thoroughly than you can with bracket-and-wire braces.
