As the year winds down and the holiday season approaches, now is the perfect time to give your smile the care and attention it deserves. At Houston Dentists…
It doesn’t matter if you’re an adult or a kid, you’re likely to snack on some Halloween sweets this October. And why not? Halloween is the only time of year when everyone can indulge in sweet treats without guilt. But you also have to think about keeping your teeth attractive and healthy. So in addition to snacking on Halloween candy, why not treat yourself to a better-looking smile?
It’s relatively simple to improve your smile – especially if all you need is to straighten your teeth. And even better, it’s now possible to straighten your teeth without wearing braces.
Invisalign is a new and innovative system that provides the same results as traditional braces. The difference is that Invisalign doesn’t require the use of noticeable wires or brackets. Invisalign uses clear plastic aligners, which are a form of dental braces, to adjust the teeth. These aligners are comfortable and work just as well as traditional braces. You can even remove the aligners when you’re eating or brushing your teeth.
Invisalign works just as well on kids as it does on adults. For example, say your 12-year old daughter just learned she needs braces. The orthodontist says that braces are the best option for repositioning her teeth that are too widely spaced. It seems simple enough, but not for a pre-teen who is concerned about what friends will say about her braces.
Sure, your daughter wants straight teeth and a great smile. But she’d like to achieve it without needing braces. Kids like to tease schoolmates, and braces are often a favorite subject. Invisalign is possibly the perfect solution to the problem.
Invisalign is convenient when compared to metal braces. Your child can wear an aligner without anyone noticing. It’s possible to play sports, eat what you want, and remove the aligner when necessary. You’ll also spend less time on dental appointments and more time living your life.
You may or may not have a child that needs braces. But the above scenario happens quite often. A parent and their child learn the child needs braces, but they are unaware of their options. They only learn about Invisalign after doing more research at home. Then they realize that braces aren’t the only option and that Invisalign treatment costs about the same as traditional braces. Plus, the results are often amazing.
Invisalign takes the hassle out of straightening your teeth. A customized treatment plan makes it easier to achieve effective results in a shorter amount of time. It’s possible to complete the Invisalign process in as little as one year. But that depends on how much straightening your teeth need. It may take longer than a year to achieve the results you want.
Anyone who says it’s impossible to get straight teeth without braces is playing a trick on you. You can start the Invisalign process and be on your way to straight teeth by Halloween. All you have to do is contact an Invisalign provider to learn if you can benefit from the aligners.
Straight teeth are important. Crooked teeth aren’t life-threatening, but they can have a negative impact on your life. People with straight teeth have better self-confidence, have an easier time meeting new people, are more at ease with dating, and are generally well-perceived in the workplace.
Don’t spend this Halloween worrying about your teeth. There’s nothing to fear from Invisalign. If you’re a good candidate for Invisalign, you can easily get started on the road to straighter teeth.
