Change Your Smile Discreetly With Invisalign

Invisalign makes it possible to change your smile discreetly. Using clear aligners that are almost unnoticeable to others, Invisalign can help you achieve the smile you desire. It can straighten teeth, close small gaps, and correct minor bite issues. Dr. Kristin Stevens, the experienced dentist at Center Grove Family Dentistry in Greenwood, can help you decide if Invisalign is the right option for you.

How Invisalign Works

Invisalign is an alternative to braces for straightening your smile. Like braces, Invisalign exerts gentle pressure on the teeth to move them where they belong. Where Invisalign differs is that it utilizes removable aligner trays instead of permanently affixed brackets, bands, and wires.

Invisalign includes several sets of aligner trays that are custom made for each patient to deliver individualized results. A set of aligners includes one tray worn over the top row of teeth, and one for the bottom. Each set of trays is worn for only a few weeks at a time and is then replaced with the next set. The teeth become straighter and move closer to their final position with each new set of aligners.

The average length of time it takes to straighten a smile with Invisalign is about 12 months. Invisalign can address many of the same orthodontic issues like braces, such as straightening crooked teeth, closing small gaps, and correcting minor problems with bite alignment. However, more severe orthodontic concerns are best corrected with traditional braces. The knowledgeable dentist at our office in Greenwood can determine if Invisalign is a possibility for you.

Benefits of Invisalign 

There are so many benefits and advantages to straightening your smile with Invisalign. For example, the custom aligner trays are removable and can be taken out temporarily when playing certain types of sports or when having your picture taken. Some of the numerous benefits of Invisalign include:

  • Discreet — The aligner trays are clear so they are not readily noticeable to others.
  • Comfortable — Aligner trays are made from a soft and flexible material.
  • Removable — The trays are not permanently affixed in the mouth and can be removed as needed for up to two hours per day.
  • Fewer Food Restrictions — The aligner trays can be removed when eating so there is no worry about foods becoming stuck to them.
  • Better Oral Hygiene — Achieving a more thorough cleaning is easier because trays can be removed to brush and floss.

You can change your smile discreetly with Invisalign in about 12 months. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Stevens to learn more about Invisalign by calling Center Grove Family Dentistry in Greenwood at (317) 548-2627.
