Straighten Your Smile Discreetly With Invisalign

When you have teeth that are not aligned correctly, it impacts everything from how you smile to how you eat. The conventional approach to correct misalignment is braces. However, what if for some reason, braces are not suitable for you? Do you just give up on your bite? Luckily for you, you have another option—Invisalign. Here at Kwong Orthodontics in Portage, MI, Dr. Thomas Kwong can use Invisalign to enhance your smile discreetly.

Invisalign Aligners are Developed to Perfectly Blend with Your Teeth

Invisalign treatment involves aligner trays crafted from a comfortable, clear thermoplastic material to make certain that they fit perfectly over your teeth. During your treatment, you will need to wear a different aligner for approximately two weeks before you move on to the next aligner. Each of the trays is made to achieve a particular straightening goal that will gradually help in putting your teeth into their proper positions.

Who are The Best Candidates for Invisalign Treatment?

Invisalign is a good option for older teens and adults simply due to the fact that their jaws have already stopped developing. Likewise, unlike younger teens and kids, older people will be more committed to wearing the aligners, which is a significant factor in ensuring the success of the treatment. Do note though that an evaluation with our orthodontist here at Kwong Orthodontics in Portage, MI, is the best way to determine your candidacy for Invisalign treatment.

Essentially, Invisalign is perfect for straightening slightly crooked teeth, correcting mild bite issues, and fixing gaps between teeth. If your issues are more severe, your dentist may suggest traditional orthodontic treatment instead.

No-Fuss Oral Hygiene and Eating with Invisalign

With Invisalign aligners, you won’t have to worry about eating sticky foods or foods that might get stuck in the aligners. You simply remove them when you’re eating and put them back once you’re done. In addition, you won’t need any special implements when brushing and flossing since you can remove your aligners before carrying on with your routine and put them back after you’re done.

Subtlety and Flexibility is Key to Invisalign Treatment

Yes, you will need to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours daily, but you can choose to not wear them for a few hours if you really need to. This means that you can attend your friend’s wedding or an important work event without having to feel self-conscious about your aligners, but most importantly, without negatively affecting the progress of your treatment.
