Have you suffered from crooked or crowded teeth but haven’t looked for treatment because you don’t want to deal with metal braces? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Thousands of people avoid undergoing orthodontic treatment because they think metal braces simply aren’t worth the discomfort or are embarrassed to have metal on their teeth. Luckily, Dental Wellness of Milford has a solution for a smile makeover with Invisalign®* clear aligners in Milford.
For many years, if you wanted to straighten your smile, your only option was metal braces that used brackets, wires, and elastic bands to move your teeth into position. Today, companies like Invisalign® have created a more convenient and comfortable alternative in the form of clear aligners.
These are thin, plastic devices that are completely see-through and match the general shape of your teeth. When you undergo treatment with clear aligners, you’ll receive a new set every few weeks with a slightly different shape. Over time, and if you use them accordingly, your teeth will move into position without the need for metal brackets.
After coming in for your initial examination, your dentist will take an impression of your teeth and create a treatment plan to get the smile you want. Then, the impressions are sent to a lab where the aligners are made. You will receive a new set of aligners every couple of weeks that you are to wear for most of the day. Slowly but surely, your teeth will begin to move, and by the end of the treatment, you’ll enjoy a beautiful and straight smile.
At Dental Wellness of Milford, we take pride in making our patients happy to smile again. If you’re ready for the smile you’ve always wanted, get in touch with us today!
