Patients seeking a way to straighten their teeth often hesitate as they are not sure they want to be seen with those braces. However, more and more of the braces in Medina OH dentists are recommending are not braces at all. More people are discovering Invisalign an alternative orthodontic system that can straighten teeth easily without the need for traditional metal wire braces.
Invisible Teeth Straightening
Invisalign is a unique system made of clear BPA-free plastic. The system uses custom made removable trays that are designed to align teeth in a comfortable way without the need of adjustment or uncomfortable and unsightly wire braces. They shift teeth gently and are barely visible. It is a very desirable way to align teeth using custom aligners you change yourself.
Low Maintenance Aligners
There are very few appointments for Invisalign following the initial appointment where a 3D image will be taken in hand with imprints of your teeth. With this image and the imprints your dentist can than design the trays to custom fit your teeth with a progressive change to the configuration. You will then pick your custom aligners up once they are complete. You will adjust the aligners at home using a new tray every two weeks. Every six weeks you can meet with your dentist just to make sure your treatment is progressing according to plan. This really cuts down on missed school or work making Invisalign in Medina OH a very convenient way to straighten your teeth.
