If you are self-conscious about your smile or hide your grin during family photos, you are not alone. Here at Studio B Smiles in Scottsdale and Phoenix, Arizona, we understand that having crooked teeth isn’t something that most people feel great about. If you are struggling with low-confidence due to crooked teeth, but don’t want the inconvenience or appearance of traditional braces, here’s why Invisalign is an excellent alternative.
Why Invisalign
Invisalign, a nearly invisible alternative to traditional braces, was masterfully created through advancements in dental technology. Invisalign is perfect for those who want to straighten their teeth while being discrete. Because the trays are clear, most people won’t even notice you have them. These clear aligners or trays gently correct your teeth over time, but without the rubber bands or abrasive metal used with traditional braces.
What to Expect with Invisalign
During your appointment, your dentist will first examine your teeth to see if Invisalign is right for you. Your dentist will then create a mold from a 3D scan of your teeth. Once the mold is complete, a lab will create the aligners that you will wear to straighten your teeth. You will repeat this process every few weeks to ensure that the trays fit your teeth as they shift to your likening.
Your dentist will give you specific instructions for when you should wear your new Invisalign trays. The instructions will include directions for removing before eating and brushing before reinserting your aligners to prevent cavities. Be sure to give yourself a few days to adjust to wearing your Invisalign aligners. Carefully crafted with your comfort in mind, wearing the trays can take some getting used to.
At Studio B Smiles in Scottsdale and Phoenix, Arizona, we offer Invisalign for adults and teens who want straighter teeth without attaching metal to their smile. If crooked teeth hinder your self-confidence, there is hope. Book an appointment with us today to see precisely how Invisalign can give you a new reason to smile.
