Invisalign – Worcester, MA
Get a Straight Smile without Metal Braces
A smile full of straight, symmetrical teeth looks great and is easier to keep free of harmful plaque and bacteria deposits. This can result in a smile that not only looks amazing but makes a valuable contribution to your overall health. Unfortunately, many adults are reluctant to undergo the long orthodontic therapy needed to straighten their teeth because conventional braces are conspicuous, can cause discomfort, and limit your food choices. Now, there’s a less noticeable and restriction-free option with Invisalign in Worcester. You can achieve the smile of your dreams without metal braces.
How Invisalign Works
Invisalign differs from metal braces because brackets and wires aren’t used to move your teeth. Instead, an impression of your mouth is taken to fabricate a series of aligners that apply consistent pressure to your teeth. You’ll wear the clear aligners for at least 22 hours per day to gradually reposition your teeth. After about 1 week, you’ll switch to the next aligner in the series. Although everyone’s treatment plan differs, it takes about 12 months to finish the series.
Indications for Invisalign
Invisalign can be used to resolve a variety of alignment and bite concerns, including:
Crowded Teeth
Crowded teeth are more difficult to clean, increasing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Moving them into their correct positions will give you a healthier smile overall.
Spaces Between Teeth
Gaps between your teeth aren’t just unattractive. They also make is easy for food particles and plaque to get trapped between your teeth. Closing the spaces gives you a straight smile you’ll want to show off.
Bite Alignment
The positioning of your teeth also impacts the way your upper and lower teeth come together when you close your mouth. Invisalign can resolve a variety of bite issues to improve your oral functions.
