What Are The Benefits of Invisalign?

A popular option for straightening teeth at Mogavero Orthodontics is Invisalign and Invisalign Teen. Invisalign can be a great method for improving your smile and can help patients with crowded teeth, crossbites, overbites, underbites, and more.

Invisalign, which is different from traditional braces, works by applying a series of clear, retainer-like aligners in order to eventually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Patients typically swap aligners approximately every week.

At Mogavero Orthodontics, we have lots of experience using this technology to give our patients the beautiful and healthy smile they’ve always wanted. After your initial visit to our office, we schedule an appointment to take an impression of your teeth as they are now and digitize it. Using special software, we look at the current positioning of your teeth and compare it to the way your teeth should look.

Not only are the aligners invisible, but they are also removable, so you can eat and drink what you want, and brushing and flossing are easier. Invisalign aligners are also comfortable, with no metal to cause mouth abrasions during your treatment. And, no metal and wires usually means you spend less time at our office getting adjustments.

Depending on the severity of the problem, Invisalign treatment may take anywhere from three to 18 months to complete. You should be aware that Invisalign is not as effective as traditional braces in treating bite problems, teeth that are lower or higher than others, or severely overcrowded teeth. Both teens and adults are now great candidates for Invisalign, so we invite you to contact our office to set up an initial consultation and learn more about how Invisalign can give you the smile you’ve always wanted!
