Invisalign® Treatment in Saint Albans, VT
Invisalign®
We are a Diamond Plus Provider for Invisalign®!
If you are looking to straighten your smile but you hate the idea of wearing traditional metal braces, then you are in luck. At Dickinson & Branon Dental Care in Saint Albans, VT, we understand that as an adult or late teen, it isn’t really ideal to sport a mouth full of braces.
Despite all the benefits of having a straighter smile, we realize that it’s unlikely that someone who is in college or in the working world will want to wear traditional braces. Fortunately, you can fix dental malocclusions and get a straighter smile without other people noticing when you choose Invisalign®.
Custom Treatment Plan
Invisalign® is made up of a series of clear thermoplastic aligners that are customized to fit over your teeth. These aligners look similar to whitening trays, and each aligner is specifically designed to shift certain teeth throughout the course of your treatment. Once we decide that Invisalign® is right for you, we will map out your treatment plan, which we will then send to an Invisalign® lab so they can begin designing your aligners.
Through Invisalign’s advanced computer technology, we can determine which teeth need to move in order to achieve the proper smile. From there, each aligner is made to promote certain tooth movements. Invisalign® treatment can address minor to more severe tooth movements.
You’ll wear these aligners 24 hours a day, only removing them to brush and floss. You’ll want to avoid foods with yellow dyes, such as turmeric, mustard, and even macaroni and cheese.
Are You a Good Candidate for Invisalign®?
Most adults and older teens are great candidates for Invisalign. If you have crooked teeth, gaps between teeth, crowding, overbites, underbites, crossbites or an open bite, then Invisalign could be right for you. Using the latest technology and training from Invisalign we can help relieve TMD and other types of dental pain and create a gorgeous smile for patients of every age in a matter of months, not years, unlike traditional orthodontists.
Oral Care & Your Invisalign® Aligners
Aligners will need to be properly cleaned, but because they can be removed, you won’t have to make any drastic changes to your diet or oral care routine (which you would have to do with braces). You won’t have to worry that certain foods will damage brackets or wire. The same goes for your oral care routine. Just remove your aligners prior to brushing and flossing. It’s that simple. Now you won’t have to worry about carefully trying to brush around your traditional braces, where food and bacteria can easily hide. Flossing can also be a challenge with traditional braces, but Invisalign® makes it easy to continue caring for your teeth and gums without changing your daily routine. Invisalign® fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
