Can Invisalign Really Give You the Smile of Your Dreams?

In recent years, more and more people are turning to Invisalign clear aligners for straightening crooked teeth, and with good reason. The benefits of Invisalign orthodontics are many. With Invisalign, Dr. Tony Lu from Downtown Dental Services can straighten your teeth discreetly, as the teeth straightening aligners are practically invisible on your teeth. Invisalign treatment is comfortable, convenient, and simpler than traditional braces and culminates with a beautiful smile upon completion of your treatment. If you live in Cleveland, Ohio, or the surrounding communities of Lakewood, Tremont, Parma, Cleveland Heights, University Heights, or Shaker Heights, we invite you to visit our clinic to learn more about Invisalign.

Do Invisalign Braces Work?

Yes, they do! Despite their differences, Invisalign and traditional braces have one thing in common – they’re both effective in giving you straighter, more attractive teeth. In place of metal brackets and wires, however, Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners to straighten crooked teeth. When worn, the aligners put gentle pressure on your teeth to nudge them into a straighter position. Dr. Lu will have a series of aligners custom-made for your use. You’ll switch to a new set of aligners every few weeks to continue the straightening process until your smile goals are reached.

Invisalign treatment times vary depending on the problems you need to fix. Generally, however, treatments range from 6 to 18 months as opposed to having to wear metal braces for several years. Dr. Lu will monitor your progress by scheduling follow-up visits every four to six weeks. 

The Amazing Results of Invisalign

With Invisalign, you can obtain the same beautiful results as traditional braces without the inconvenience of covering your mouth with metal for several years. Invisalign makes straightening your teeth a shorter, easier, and less stressful experience, which is why it’s rapidly becoming the go-to orthodontic treatment for adults and teens. Here are some of the problems Invisalign can fix:

• Crossbites, open bites, overbites and underbites
• Crooked/misaligned teeth
• Gaps between teeth
• Overcrowding
• Uneven or overlapping teeth
• Slightly protruding teeth

Although Invisalign aligners are removable, you must stick to the schedule of wearing them 20-22 hours daily to truly benefit from your treatment.

Additional Perks of Invisalign

Discretion is one of the main perks of Invisalign. The aligners are hardly noticeable on your teeth, making your treatment less conspicuous. You don’t have to feel self-conscious about smiling around others.

Removable aligners offer greater convenience as you don’t have to watch what you eat. It also helps you take better care of your teeth during treatment. 

With Invisalign, there are fewer dental visits to disrupt your busy schedule. We’ll schedule visits every four to six weeks to ensure you’re making progress with your treatment.

Comfort is a big perk as Invisalign aligners contain no metal wires or sharp edges to irritate your gums or cheeks. The aligners are composed of smooth, clear plastic and custom-made to fit snugly and comfortably over your teeth.
