Sedgwick area patients ask about Invisalign orthodontic braces

Realigning the smile may bring about thoughts of conventional metal bracket and wire braces. This is often what keeps patients from considering orthodontics. Braces have a negative stigma associated with them, and Sedgwick, KS residents do not want to deal with the embarrassment of conventional braces. However, orthodontic treatment just got more acceptable with the development of Invisalign.

Invisalign is a method of realigning the smile that uses clear plastic aligner trays. These trays are made of quality medical-grade plastics, which fit snug over the dental arch and slowly reposition teeth within the smile. This method of treatment is just as effective as conventional braces but much more discreet and widely acceptable for patients who are older and concerned about their appearance throughout their treatment.

Invisalign has been used for many years by teenaged and adult patients who are ready to tackle malocclusion but do not want to put their life on hold due to the appearance of traditional braces. Invisalign starts with digital impressions of the smile, which are sent to the Invisalign laboratory for the creation of a series of trays. Each tray is used for two weeks at a time before the next tray in the series is worn. This progression allows for gradual realignment of the teeth in the dental arch and eventually, amazing results!

East Wichita Dentist loves that he can provide his patients with an alternative to conventional orthodontics while giving them the same results in a safe and effective manner. Invisalign is proven to offer better alignment when patients are compliant with treatment and are truly interested in rejuvenating their smile. Invisalign also has many benefits outside of “clear” treatment including better comfort, oral health, and affordability.
