Exploring Invisalign: A Modern Solution for Teeth Straightening at Westwood Dentistry

When we hear teeth straightening, we often think of traditional orthodontic treatments such as metal brackets and wires. While this treatment is effective in many situations, it is not the only option available to patients. At Westwood Dentistry, Drs. Monica Anand, Anshuman Rawat, and the team are pleased to offer Invisalign aligners, another teeth straightening option open to many of our teen and adult patients. Let’s take a closer look at Invisalign to help you determine if it is the proper treatment for you!

What is Invisalign?

Invisalign treatment involves using a sequence of clear, custom-fitted tray aligners designed to adjust teeth to their proper position incrementally. Crafted from smooth, BPA-free plastic, these aligners offer the advantage of being almost invisible when worn. This feature ensures that patients can maintain confidence and smile freely with others, even during their orthodontic treatment.

How does Invisalign work?

Similar to traditional braces, Invisalign works by exerting gentle pressure on specific areas of the teeth to guide them into proper alignment. However, it is much less noticeable than metal bracket-and-wire braces. Many patients feel more confident with their appearance, as these aligners when worn, are difficult to distinguish from the natural teeth!

What are the benefits of Invisalign treatment?

Aligner treatment has several benefits, the most desirable being its clear appearance. Invisalign trays are easily removable for eating, drinking, brushing teeth, and flossing, allowing patients to easily take care of their smiles and reduce their risk of problems. Invisalign is affordable and effective and provides faster treatments for many patients with mild to moderate to severe misalignment.
