Traditional Braces

Traditional braces are the metal brackets and wires you are used to imagining when it comes to straightening your smile. However, advancements in technology and the approach to orthodontics have made traditional braces much more simple and comfortable than in the past. Now, brackets are often smaller and cause less discomfort to soft tissues like lips and the tongue.

All You Need To Know About Invisalign in The Villages

Invisalign Treatment in The VillagesNot everyone is born with the perfect smile or teeth that are exactly straight. The best part is that you can still restore your smile even if you have crooked or misaligned teeth by using efficient orthodontic tools, such as Invisalign, to correct your teeth.

One of the most popular and successful teeth-straightening options is Invisalign treatment in The Villages. If you are new to this amazing and path-breaking innovation, keep reading to learn more about this device, how it works, and how it helps correct tooth alignment by an Invisalign provider.

What Is Invisalign?

Customized, removable plastic aligners are used in the Invisalign procedure to straighten teeth. Without the need for wires and brackets, these aligners gradually adjust the position of the teeth. Because Invisalign clear aligners are comprised of plastic that has received FDA approval, it is free of potentially dangerous substances like latex.

Every patient's specific needs are taken into account while designing an aligner. Your teeth straightening doctor will make a mold of the teeth following the consultation and send it to a lab. Your dentist will ensure your aligners are snugly attached to your teeth and apply the proper pressure to the problem areas. You can take your aligners off whenever you dine, brush your teeth, or floss, which is the best thing about them.

How Does Invisalign Work?

Similar to metal braces, The Villages Invisalign Treatment has the same effects. The plastic trays apply light pressure to the teeth's trouble spots to realign them. Subsequently, to continually provide the proper pressure to your teeth, Invisalign clear aligners should be changed every two weeks. At your appointments, your Invisalign provider will check on the status of your treatment and adjust the aligners as necessary.

How To Use Invisalign?

The best thing about Invisalign is that no one will know you have braces on your teeth. On average, 22 hours a day, including sleep, are normally spent wearing Invisalign. For many individuals, Invisalign procedures can be finished within a brief period of 20 weeks.

With a few restrictions by your teeth straightening doctor, you can keep eating everything you want. Invisalign clear aligners and your teeth will turn yellow over time if you smoke or consume a lot of coffee, rendering the invisible plastic more noticeable. Practice good dental hygiene as usual and wherever you can maintain your The Villages Invisalign treatment; for example, cut back on coffee and smoking to prevent the yellowing of teeth. Every 4-6 weeks, you should schedule an appointment with your Invisalign provider to check your progress and discuss any necessary adjustments. After your treatment, your loved ones will merely note that you appear more confident and that your teeth somehow appear healthier and shinier than before.

You may remove your aligners for cleaning, which is one benefit of Invisalign treatment. Remember to brush and floss every day to prevent cavities and maintain your smile as white and straight as possible. It is therefore recommended to visit a Universal Smiles Dentistry The Villages orthodontist for specialized care and Invisalign treatment.

Dentistry is in my blood. I am 3rd generation on Mom's side, and my late father was a dentist.

I have been practicing in Central Florida since 2004, but my Grandparents and Uncle lived in Brevard County since the 60s, and I have spent many summers there. I attended Nova Southeastern University's dental school in Fort Lauderdale. I helped pay my way through school by working as a Dental Laboratory Technician.

I believe in doing the most conservative dentistry with the most up to date technology. I am an Invisalign Premier Provider, certified in Lumineers, and do all aspects of General Dentistry.
