Invisalign® Helps You Straighten Your Teeth – Visit Us in Surrey for More Info
Crooked or misaligned teeth don’t necessarily mean big, intrusive braces. Invisalign® is a clear aligner offered by Georgetown Dental in Surrey, providing you with a simple and reliable solution for straightening your teeth. It uses a series of comfortable and removable clear aligners that no one can tell you’re wearing. No metal wires or brackets required!
As the treatment consists of a series of trays over time, each tray will move your teeth closer to that beautiful smile.
Why Invisalign®
Invisalign® offers an ideal way to straighten your teeth and ensure you can have a beautiful smile all your own. Not only will your teeth be straighter, but it will help reduce the incidence of gum disease as well due to it being easier to brush and floss your teeth over traditional straightening methods. That means a healthier mouth overall.
Aligners can easily be removed for eating or brushing, which gives them a big advantage over traditional bracket-and-wire braces. There are no sharp metal edges which makes them more comfortable, preventing rubbing against soft tissues and gives you the freedom to play sports without worrying about extra injury.
How Does it Work?
We will discuss your goals and any concerns you have about your teeth, after which Dr. Kooner will create a treatment plan that is customized to your needs. Then a set of Invisaligners® will be ordered.
Each aligner should be worn between 20-22 hours per day over the course of 2 weeks. You should only remove them while eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth. Every 6-7 weeks, a follow up appointment will be necessary to have your teeth examined and to provide you with a new set of aligners. While the length of treatment and number of aligners needed can vary for each person, typically a treatment will take a year to complete.
