A beautiful smile lets the world know you’re ready to take on whatever life brings you. But the idea of spending years trying to achieve that perfect grin by walking around with a mouth full of metal isn’t appealing to most adults. Brackets cemented to the front of your teeth, tiny rubber bands in an assortment of colors, and metal wires barring the way to effective dental hygiene are more than just a pain in the mouth. They also immediately bring to mind the awkwardness of adolescence, and none of us want to relive those years.
But what if you could straighten your teeth invisibly? What if this could be accomplished in a fraction of the time? With Invisalign clear braces, Dr. Brooks can give you the smile of your dreams in as little as a year using virtually undetectable clear, plastic aligners.
Because Invisalign straightens using smooth plastic aligners molded to fit your teeth snugly instead of metal brackets and wires, patients don’t experience the painful mouth sores and abrasions commonly associated with traditional braces. Most traditional orthodontic appliances can also cause root resorption (the breakdown of the root structure of a tooth), while Invisalign has far less impact on gums and teeth’s supporting tissues.
Invisalign also uses significantly less force, thereby causing less pain during the straightening process. And because Invisalign aligners are removable, it is easy to keep the appliances clean, and brushing and flossing are far more effective. Therefore, Invisalign patients who maintain standard hygiene practices suffer significantly less decay.
It’s no wonder patients everywhere have elected to straighten with Invisalign. To find out more about Invisalign, or to schedule a consultation with Dr. Brooks, contact our Oklahoma City office today.
