Invisalign® Clear Aligners Columbus
Flexible, Discreet Braces Designed for Greater Confidence
While much of the discussion surrounding braces involves their level of visibility, many patients assume they are only meant for children and adolescents. The reality is that countless adults want straighter teeth but without the bulky, uncomfortable, and noticeable metal. Whether your child needs braces to fix gapped teeth, or you need help to finally do something about your overbite, Invisalign® Clear Aligners in Columbus can offer a flexible, discreet way to ensure greater, daily confidence. Let a member of our team know if you are interested in learning more about Invisalign so that we can help.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign consists of customized, clear aligners that gently move teeth in the appropriate direction so that they will line up correctly and produce a healthier, more beautiful smile that works like normal. You will receive a series of trays that you will wear (as a set) for 20-22 hours a day, one to two weeks at a time. When it’s time to exchange them for the next set, you can expect to see a change in your appearance as your smile grows closer to its final destination.
Benefits of Invisalign
Choosing Invisalign to straighten your teeth or realign your bite can lead to incredible benefits that you will not experience with more traditional forms of orthodontic treatment, such as:
- Optimal Flexibility: Wearing aligners that you can freely remove when eating, drinking, or cleaning them makes them vastly different than metal braces that are bonded to teeth and cannot be removed.
- Greater Comfort: Unlike shiny metal that protrudes and irritates gum tissue, Invisalign aligners are smooth, so they cause less irritation, allowing for a more comfortable experience.
- Improved Oral Health: Cleaning around brackets and wires can be challenging, often resulting in poor oral hygiene. With Invisalign, though, you can remove your trays and clean your teeth and gums just as you would if you were not undergoing orthodontic treatment.
- No Food Restrictions: One of the greatest benefits is there are virtually no food restrictions with Invisalign. Because the aligners must be removed first, you can eat all your favorite foods without worrying about particles getting stuck between brackets and wires.
Is Invisalign Right For Me?
A free consultation with Dr. Wigal or Dr. Kluemper will determine whether Invisalign is right for you. Scheduling a visit is the first step to achieving the kind of results you desire. When meeting with us, you can expect that we will take our time to better understand your oral and overall health history as well as if the problem you’re experiencing is within the capability of Invisalign to fix.
If so, we’ll capture an impression of your teeth and send it to a lab, where technicians will begin creating your trays so that you can get started on working toward a straighter, healthier smile.
