Since 1997, Invisalign has become the preferred way for teens and adults to straighten teeth and achieve beautiful, healthy smiles. Here at Davidson & Burr, we’re pleased to offer Invisalign to our patients in Mooresville and the surrounding areas. Let’s take a closer look at what Invisalign is and what you can expect if you choose this treatment.

How Invisalign Works

First and foremost, our dental team will create a 3D digital image of your teeth. Rest assured we make the process fast and easy. After the image has been taken, it will be uploaded into the Invisalign system. Then, our dentist will design a customized plan that slowly but surely moves your teeth into their proper positions through a series of aligners. 

Once your aligners are delivered, you’ll visit our office to receive your first set. Our dentist will ask you to wear them for at least 22 hours per day. Fortunately, you’ll be able to remove them every time you eat, drink, brush, or floss. 

Depending on your plan, you’ll wear each aligner for a week or two and change to the next aligner. While you won’t change any drastic changes during the initial couple weeks, you should see dramatic improvement in your smile within a few months. Most patients complete Invisalign treatment within a year. 

Benefits of Invisalign

There are many benefits of Invisalign including:

Invisible Look

Traditional metal braces are very obvious. Invisalign aligners, however, are virtually invisible. Since they’re clear, they won’t take away from your face or smile. This is a huge perk if you’re a teen or adult who doesn’t like the wires and brackets that come with metal braces.

Optimal Comfort 

You’ll find Invisalign aligners to be very comfortable. Thanks to their smooth plastic material, there are no sharp or extruding edges. Invisalign aligners are custom made to fit your teeth and mouth comfortably. 

Easy Cleaning

When you need to brush and floss your teeth, simply remove the aligners, clean your teeth, and put them back in. With Invisalign, you can maintain healthy teeth and gums with ease. Just be sure to clean the aligners so that there’s no buildup. 

No Food Restrictions

During Invisalign treatment, you won’t have to make any changes to your diet. Since you can remove your aligners before you eat, nothing is off limits. Sticky, chewy, and hard foods are all safe. You don’t have to say no to popcorn, taffy, and other favorites that can be detrimental to metal braces. 

Improved Dental Health

Perhaps the most noteworthy benefit of Invisalign aligners is that they can significantly improve the health of your teeth and gums. Whether you have crooked teeth, crowding, an overbite, underbite, or any other malocclusion, Invisalign can resolve it.

An Attractive Smile

Invisalign may be just what you need to achieve a beautiful smile you’re proud to call your own. It can do wonders for your confidence and help you succeed in your personal or professional life.
