Braces have come a long way. If even reading the word conjures up images of a bunch of criss-crossing wires and a mouth filled with metal, then Corry Dental have some very good news for you. With Invisalign clear braces, you get all the advantages of teeth straightening that you would get from traditional metal braces, but you don’t have to worry about feeling self-conscious. When you get our Cedar City Invisalign, you can walk around each day without calling attention to yourself. If that was that was the only thing recommended, that would be enough, but there are more benefits to this state of the art way of achieving a more ideal alignment of your teeth and jaws. And don’t forget, besides the cosmetic reasons for wearing braces, they also relieve you of the discomfort that comes from having a bite that’s off and teeth don’t fit together properly.
First off, Invisalign aren’t really braces. They’re a series of clear aligners that will be crafted right here at our office using advanced 3-D computer technology. Each aligner is custom made to fit you, playing its part in the gradual shifting of your teeth into a more ideal position. You will wear each one for about two weeks before it will be discarded in favor of the next one. In total, you will wear somewhere between 12 and 48 of our Cedar City Invisalign clear aligners. The exact amount will be determined based on an assessment of your current situation.
Besides its benefits to your appearance, Invisalign is far more gentle on your mouth. Metal braces often cut or cause irritation to your gums, especially early on as you’re trying to adjust to them, but our Cedar City Invisalign aligners are made of plastic, so on concerns there. Also, they’re removable. You’ll wear them all day and all night, even while you sleep, taking them out only to eat, drink, brush and floss. This is a big plus because first of all, it means no food restrictions since you don’t have to worry about anything getting caught in them. Second, you can practice better oral hygiene since you will have easy access to your teeth and gums. With Invisalign, any excuses for not working on getting straighter teeth are no longer valid. So call us today and schedule a consultation.
