Invisalign® Clear Aligners in Troy

tooth mold with plastic aligners in front of itDo crooked teeth keep you from smiling confidently? Maybe you had orthodontic treatment as an adolescent but didn’t continue to wear your retainers. Or perhaps you never had the chance to straighten your teeth as a teen.

Whatever the case, clear aligners with Invisalign® offer an excellent option for straightening your teeth, correcting your bite, and boosting your confidence.

How Clear Aligners in Troy, MI, Work

Instead of relying on brackets and wires to move your teeth, Invisalign uses customized clear plastic aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners fit snugly, so they don’t interfere with your normal daily activities. You can also easily remove them for brushing, flossing, and eating meals.

Invisalign will create clear aligners for your teeth based on our dentist’s specifications. According to their treatment plan, you’ll move to the next set in the series every two to three weeks.

Depending on their needs, most patients finish their treatment in 10 to 18 months.

The Advantages of Choosing Invisalign

Invisalign offers many advantages over braces that busy teens and adults appreciate.

Freedom

Removable aligners mean you don’t have to change your diet during your treatment with Invisalign, leaving you free to enjoy the foods you love.

Comfort

Clear aligners are smooth and more comfortable to wear than brackets and wires.

Ease

Brushing and flossing are quick and easy, and no changes are needed to your regular home care routine.

Discretion

Clear aligners are virtually invisible, so no one will notice you are straightening your teeth.

Convenience

You can usually change your aligners at home, which means fewer dentist visits and a means to free up your busy schedule.

Why Are Straight Teeth Important?

woman holding clear aligners When you think about straightening your teeth, you may consider the increased confidence the treatment provides. However, several dental health benefits accompany straight teeth:

  • Improved oral hygiene — Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, reducing your risk of developing tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease.
  • Better bite alignment—When your bite is aligned correctly, you can avoid jaw joint (TMJ) problems or discomfort.
  • Eliminates bruxism — Clenching and grinding your teeth (bruxism) is often the result of a misaligned bite. Orthodontic treatment frequently eliminates this problem.
  • Comfortable chewing — For some patients, it’s easier to chew and eat with properly aligned teeth. Straight teeth also eliminate uncomfortable food traps between teeth.
