Invisalign in Steamboat Springs
For years, people looking for a solution to straighten their teeth or correct problems associated with teeth crowding and a misaligned bite have had to rely on traditional braces.
With advances in dentistry, dentists now provide an alternative way to straighten your teeth that also addresses the concerns of traditional braces. The Invisalign system requires you to wear a series of custom trays made from smooth, translucent plastic that is specially made for wear over teeth.
Each set of aligners moves your teeth incrementally for a period of two weeks, and replaced by the next set of trays in the series until the completion of your treatment in 6 to 18 months depending on your case.
Benefits of Invisalign
Invisalign has become increasingly popular in recent years for several reasons, including:
- Discreet way to improve your smile without anyone noticing
- Removable aligners - so you can maintain your diet and dental cleaning routine
- Fewer visits to the dentist - dental visits are placed at 6-8 week intervals to assess the progress of the treatment and to receive your next 3-4 sets of aligners
This approach has proven to be helpful for all kinds of patients, from shy teens to social butterflies to active athletes, because the treatment does not interfere with their lifestyle.
The dentist uses an intraoral scanner to create 3D models of your teeth. The images are fed into Invisalign software to predict how your teeth will be moved over time until they reach the desired position. You can even view the results to expect at any point in the course of the treatment, as well as the final result, which helps to keep patients motivated for the entire duration of treatment.
With the advanced Invisalign system, straightening your teeth is a more pleasant and hassle-free experience compared to other orthodontic treatments. To learn more about Invisalign, please schedule your visit today.
