Considering Braces as an Adult? Invisalign® Might Be for You
May 17, 2018
Do you cringe when you look in the mirror and see your crooked teeth? Are you embarrassed by a less than perfect smile? If you would like to straighten your teeth without the appearance of metal braces, visit Dr. James Pace at Belle Meade Family Dentistry. Dr. Pace, a dentist in Nashville, TN, would be happy to explain how Invisalign® can change your smile and make you happy to show off those pearly whites.
What Is Invisalign®?
Invisalign® is an alternative to traditional braces that is preferred by many adults and many teens too. It is a safe and easy method of tooth correction.
First, the dentist performs a 3D scan of your teeth. From this scan, a series of clear plastic aligners is custom made for you. You wear one set of liners for several days during which time your teeth make a slight adjustment. After a predetermined period of several days, you replace those aligners with the next set in the sequence until the desired results are eventually achieved.
Why Choose Invisalign®?
Many adults choose to use Invisalign® to straighten their teeth because:
- The clear plastic aligners are nearly invisible and are therefore visually appealing.
- Aligners are easily removed for eating and drinking, and there are no food restrictions.
- Dental care is simple because once the aligners are removed, you brush and floss as normal.
- Aligner care is simple because to maintain, you just brush with toothpaste and rinse.
- There are no brackets or wires to break, eliminating the need for emergency appointments.
If you want to straighten your teeth using clear aligners, give a call to Belle Meade Family Dentistry in Nashville, TN today. We can determine whether Invisalign® may be able to help you achieve a smile that makes you proud to reveal your teeth.
