Clear Braces Are Great for Adults

What would it take for you to have a straight, healthy smile? Do you have to wear metal braces with their complex adjustments, obvious invisalignappearance, and lengthy oral hygiene routines? Or, is there an easier way to your best possible smile? Your Tallahassee, FL, dentist, has an orthodontic alternative called Invisalign, and it may lead you down the path to the beautiful smile of your dreams quickly, conveniently and discreetly.

Just what is Invisalign?

Invisalign is an innovative orthodontic treatment system. It involves no metal brackets, arch wires or rubber bands. Instead, Invisalign uses a series of customized acrylic aligners that are so clear, no one notices you are getting your teeth straightened. Plus, typical treatment time averages a year to 15 months--much shorter than with metal or ceramic braces.

Dr. James Walton, and his professional colleague, Dr. David Cardman, offer Invisalign to patients in their Tallahassee, FL, office because they see a need for older teens and adults to get healthier, more attractive smiles without the complexities of conventional braces. So when a patient comes to the office asking what can be done for his/her crooked teeth, the dentist performs an oral exam and X-rays to determine what treatment would work best.

For many cases, Invisalign aligners work wonderfully well, especially for:

  • Overbite
  • Under bite
  • Open Bite
  • Cross bite
  • Tooth rotation
  • Gaps
  • Crowding
  • Orthodontic retreatment (when previously straightened teeth move out of position)

The day-to-day with Invisalign

Invisalign patients really feel no embarrassment when wearing their comfortable aligners. The appliances are barely noticeable. Plus, if the need arises, such as before a job interview, wedding or professional presentation, the patient can take out the aligners because the appliances are removable and oral hygiene is easy. You simply take out the aligner, brush, floss and replace it.

Additionally, Invisalign patients eat whatever healthy foods they want. Unlike living with conventional braces, Invisalign allows you to eat nuts, bagels and other items not suitable for metal wires and brackets. And, the soft tissues of the mouth stay comfortable. There are no sores or abrasions as with traditional braces.

Finally, patients check in with Dr. Walton or Dr. Cardman every four to six weeks, or however much your doctor prescribes. Appointments are quick, and patients receive the next pairs of aligners in their treatment sequences. Your dentist in Tallahassee, FL, likely will recommend wearing a retainer following your Invisalign treatment.
