Traditional metal braces have their place, but they’re not for everyone. And now, they don’t have to be! Today, you can straighten your grin comfortably and conveniently with Invisalign teeth aligners. Metal braces are not the only solution to realigning your smile. Invisalign clear aligner therapy has proven to be just as effective in the teeth straightening field. If orthodontics is in your future, Portland Dental in Portland, Oregon, is the go-to place for Invisalign treatment. Dr. Kaveendra Ranasinghe will help you kickstart your Invisalign journey.
Invisalign offers an innovative approach to orthodontics by employing clear, plastic, removable aligners to straighten teeth. There are no jagged edges or metal wires to poke your gums and cheeks. The aligners are made of transparent, plastic material that blends in with your teeth. They’re practically invisible when worn, making you feel less awkward about your appearance.
Invisalign aligners are custom-made to the size and contour of your teeth for a comfortable, snug fit. They’re designed to place controlled pressure on your teeth to shift them into alignment gradually. You’ll receive a series of aligners to be switched periodically to keep your teeth constantly on the move. The aligners can be removed for eating, brushing, flossing, and special picture-taking activities, but they should be returned immediately afterward to avoid delays in your treatment.
Here are just a few of the many reasons Invisalign is top in its field:
Like traditional metal braces, Invisalign can correct multiple orthodontic issues to improve your smile’s health, function, and esthetics. This includes crooked teeth, spacing issues, crossbites, overbites, underbites, and overcrowding. Dr. Kaveen can tailor your treatment to meet your specific dental needs.
Using Invisalign 3D imaging technology, Dr. Kaveen can outline a treatment plan that shows the exact movements of your teeth and visualizes how your smile will appear by the end of your procedure. This gives you an incentive not to give up treatment prematurely. Invisalign treatments offer greater accuracy and predictability in achieving your smile goals. As the months go by, you’ll be able to see the progress made in getting the smile you’ve always wanted.
By making the aligners removable, Invisalign makes it easier to enjoy your meals and keep your breath and teeth fresh and clean throughout your treatment. You won’t have to adjust your diet or your oral hygiene routine. Invisalign also won’t interrupt your lifestyle as the aligners are easy to use, comfortable to wear, and discreet. You can talk, laugh, eat, and socialize with ease.
As there are no wires or bands to adjust, you won’t be making frequent trips to your dentist. This frees more time from your busy schedule. Dr. Kaveen will see you every 4-6 weeks to check your progress and ensure all is going well with your treatment.
