Invisalign in DenverWhile most people who undergo orthodontic treatment are teens and children, adults still have options for straighter teeth. However, many young adults are hesitant to undergo orthodontic treatments because they don’t want to deal with the unsightly appearance of brackets and wires. Although advancements in orthodontics have made traditional braces less noticeable with lingual braces, they are still noticeable. For young adults looking for the most discreet way to straighten their teeth, Invisalign is the best option. Invisalign in Denver offers the perfect option to get the straight smile you’ve always wanted without wires and brackets.

Traditional Braces vs. Invisalign

Traditional braces involve the use of brackets and wires that are attached to the teeth to pull the teeth into their correct alignment. Traditional braces are very effective for treating complex bite and alignment complications. However, they are pretty inconvenient, very restrictive, and uncomfortable. Not to mention, they are very noticeable. Despite new advancements, such as tooth-colored brackets and lingual braces, traditional braces will never be invisible.

If you’re looking for the most discreet and convenient way to straighten your teeth, Invisalign is the best option. Invisalign consists of clear plastic aligner trays that are worn over the teeth. Molds and impressions of your teeth are taken to create a customized series of trays. You’ll wear each tray in the series for about 2 weeks, before switching to the next tray in the series. As you progress though the series of trays, your teeth will gradually move into their correct alignment. Since the trays are clear, no one will ever be able to tell you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment.

In addition to a less noticeable treatment, you’ll also benefit from the convenience and comfort of the trays. Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign is removable. Plus, there are no eating restrictions and oral care is easier because wires and brackets aren’t used. With no wires and brackets, this means there’s no tugging and pulling on the teeth or irritation from the protruding wires.

Invisalign is the ideal option for busy adults on the go. Since you’re able to progress through the trays, moving onto the next tray in the series right from your own home, you’ll require less trips to the dentist. Since there’s no need to visit the dentist for adjustments, you’ll only need to come into our office about every 4-8 weeks so we can monitor the progression of the treatment—perfect for your busy schedule.
