Discover the Benefits of Invisalign and Clear Braces

It’s easy to understand why an adult or teenager may not want to wear metal braces, even if it will help drastically improve their smiles. But you might have an option other than metal braces. Invisalign clear braces come with numerous benefits if you’re concerned about how your teeth will look and feel during your orthodontic treatment period. It’s a popular option that’s offered by Dr. Dan Adamo at Randall Oaks Dental in Carpentersville, IL.

Benefits of Invisalign (Clear Braces)
Many patients don’t like the idea of having a permanent metal appliance on their teeth at all times. They prefer more flexibility and freedom. That is the major benefit of opting for Invisalign clear braces. You will wear removable trays that are not easily visible to other people. With Invisalign clear braces, you have the flexibility to temporarily take the braces off for that important work meeting or special anniversary dinner. You also don’t have to worry about painful adjustments as Invisalign trays are very gentle on the teeth.

How Does Invisalign Help Your Smile?
Each Invisalign tray that you receive throughout the treatment process from your Carpentersville dentist is specially designed to gradually reposition your teeth. Your teeth take on the shape of the tray over time, while you sleep, communicate, and work. It loosens crowding, straightens crooked teeth, and closes gaps. Invisalign may also help with minor jaw alignment issues.

The Treatment Process
After you have been evaluated and approved for Invisalign, the next step is for your dentist to take an impression of your teeth and create a computerized treatment plan. Each clear aligner tray will be designed by your dentist and provided at your follow-up appointments. It is your responsibility to attend each scheduled appointment and wear your tray for at least 20 to 22 hours per day. You can expect the treatment to last between six and 12 months on average.

Get Your Smile Straightened Out
If your smile is crowded, gapped, or generally out of alignment, you might just need a relatively short Invisalign treatment. Call (224) 484-8221 today to set up a consultation with Dr. Dan Adamo at his office in Carpentersville, IL, and discover the benefits of clear braces.
