6 Benefits of Perfecting Your Smile with Invisalign Treatment
Many patients desire a straighter smile but may feel hesitant about traditional metal braces. Rest assured, there are alternative options available for achieving a straight smile without the need for conventional metal braces. Mid-Valley Dental Care in Northridge, California, offers Invisalign treatment which uses custom-fitted clear aligners made from transparent and removable trays. For a similar price and timeline as conventional braces, Invisalign perfects your smile conveniently, comfortably, and discreetly.
Why Invisalign aligners are the obvious choice for orthodontic care
For Drs. Terence, Casey, and Kayla Lau, orthodontic treatment is about more than the results— the journey to those results is just as important. That’s why we offer a patient-centered experience where comfort, communication, and personalized care are prioritized at every step. With Invisalign treatment, you’ll feel supported, informed, and confident in your treatment plan.
Here are the benefits of Invisalign treatment.
- Discreet treatment: Your orthodontic treatment can remain discreet. Unlike traditional metal braces, Invisalign aligners are inconspicuous when worn, allowing you to correct issues such as spacing, overcrowding, and misalignment without drawing attention. In most cases, the aligners are barely noticeable unless someone is in close proximity.
- Predictable results: Invisalign’s software is a revolutionary advancement in your orthodontic journey. It simulates your treatment plan to allow you and your doctor to see how the teeth will move over time with each aligner. This simulation shows the gradual progression from the current alignment to the desired final position. Predictability allows patients to know the expected results even before the treatment.
- Improve gum health: Have you noticed your gums starting to recede? This could be a result of a traumatic bite or the way your teeth come together. Misalignment can place excessive pressure on certain areas, leading to gum recession and other oral health issues. Additionally, crowded teeth can hinder effective cleaning, leading to an environment that fosters inflammation and increases the risk of gum disease. Correcting crowding can create a more hygienic environment, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene and ultimately improving gum health.
- Comfort: Orthodontic treatment doesn’t have to be painful. Invisalign aligners are crafted from smooth, clear, flexible material for enhanced comfort. These aligners are gentle on your teeth and don’t poke or irritate your gums or cheeks like metal braces. Your Invisalign treatment is a more comfortable journey from start to finish. Mild tenderness and soreness when moving to a new set can be normal. However, this discomfort lasts only about 2-3 days.
- Removable convenience: Traditional braces are firmly bonded onto your teeth; only a dentist can remove them. In contrast, Invisalign aligners can be removed at will. Why does this matter? It means you can eat all your favorite foods and clean your teeth without navigating around metal brackets and wires. Invisalign aligners fit seamlessly into your life. You don’t have to make significant adjustments in your everyday life just because of orthodontic treatment.
- Personalization: Invisalign offers a fully customized experience tailored to your unique dental needs. The aligners are designed based on precise digital scans of your teeth, ensuring they fit perfectly and apply the optimal pressure needed at each stage of your treatment. This personalized approach not only improves comfort but also enhances the effectiveness of the alignment process, helping you achieve your desired results more efficiently
