Teeth Straightening Aligners Can Transform Your Smile
Friday April 1, 2022
If you live in Fort Worth, Texas, and you’re researching how to make your smile more perfect, you’ve probably run across the idea of Invisalign, also known as clear invisible braces. We live in a world that values a smile with perfectly straight teeth. For many of us, obtaining a perfect smile can require orthodontic treatment.
In the old days, getting straight teeth meant wearing unsightly and uncomfortable metal braces for as long as two years. However, things have changed. Now, you can meet your smile goals with Invisalign teeth straightening provided by Dr. Spencer Hoyt at Fort Worth Dental Arts in Fort Worth, Texas.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses comfortable, clear aligners to correct malocclusion and mild misalignment. Invisalign uses gentle, consistent force to move your teeth to a straighter position.
Often referred to as clear braces or invisible teeth straightening, the Invisalign process uses no metal in the treatment process. Invisalign clear aligners look like the mouthguards athletes wear to play sports. However, Invisalign aligners are very thin and discreet.
How Clear Invisible Braces Can Transform Your Smile
With Invisalign, you can accomplish any of the following.
- Reposition turned teeth
- Close gaps between teeth
- Correct mild bite problems such as overbite
The Invisalign process is easy and efficient. Fort Worth Dental Arts will take detailed images of your mouth and teeth. These images are integrated with advanced computer software to create a map of your teeth. This map is expanded to create an animation that Dr. Hoyt will use to design a movement sequence that will be favorable for your smile. You will be able to watch the video of your teeth movement sequence and see your smile transformation before it is even a reality.
Dr. Hoyt will order a set of clear aligners for you that matches the movement sequence. You will wear each aligner in the sequence for one week, then move on to the next aligner; each aligner moves your teeth a little closer to the end goal. The length of treatment varies depending on the patient, and some patients have to wear aligner sets for a longer time than others. However, most cases are completed within 4 to 18 months, at which time we will make your customized retainer.
