Your crooked, crowded, and gapped teeth have always bothered you, but you have not taken steps to correct them because the last thing you want is a bunch of brackets and wires in your mouth. For adults who feel like you do, New Haven Dental Group offers Invisalign clear aligners in Hamden. Discreet, effective, and comfortable, this remarkable system is the premier way people around the globe are choosing to straighten their teeth.
The reason Invisalign is so popular is that instead of using brackets and wires to move the teeth, it instead employs a series of clear, lightweight plastic aligners. A patient simply wears an individual set of aligners for about 2 weeks for 20 – 22 hours a day before moving onto the next. Once they have gone through the entire series, their teeth will be right where they should have been all along.
It is easy to understand why so many patients are opting Invisalign rather than traditional braces:
Invisalign may sound great and all, but do you really need to spend time and money on straightening your teeth? Is the cosmetic benefit truly worth it? While having well-aligned teeth will certainly bolster your appearance, orthodontic treatment offers another huge advantage: improved oral health.
When the teeth are spaced properly, it is much easier to keep them clean compared to if they are crowded too closely together. This means that Invisalign can actually lower a patient’s risk of took decay. Plus, it can correct bite issues to reduce the risk of tooth breakage and improve jaw function.
We usually recommend Invisalign only for patients who are 18 and older. Consistently wearing the aligner trays requires a measure of self-discipline. Moreover, younger patients may still have developing teeth and jaws that can affect the way Invisalign fits. To find out if this treatment would work for you, the best thing to do is schedule a consultation with the team at New Haven Dental Group. We will perform a brief exam and discuss your options; if Invisalign is one of them, we can get started on your treatment right away.
