If it wasn\u2019t for those spaces in your teeth, you\u2019d probably feel just a little more confident to flash a smile in one or two of them. Of course, the thought of acclimating to a bunch of metal hardware just doesn\u2019t seem fun to you.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierdentalcareva.com\/orthodontics.html\">Invisalign in Herndon<\/a> comes in. Now you can reduce the spaces in your smile without the use of traditional braces.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Why Invisalign May Be Right for You<\/h2>\n<p>Invisalign is an orthodontic system that uses clear, acrylic, custom-fitted trays that push your crooked teeth into a straighter position. Instead of using brackets, wires, and other metal components, Invisalign only uses thermoplastic to shift your teeth. This method of reducing spaces in your smile is especially ideal if you have a metal allergy and aren\u2019t eligible for braces in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>You may also prefer Invisalign if you only have minor to moderate misalignment in your mouth and your dentist feels you don\u2019t need to wear full-fledged braces to have them fixed. Braces are typically for patients with more severe cases of misalignment, so Invisalign acts as a faster and easier orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n<h2>How Invisalign Works<\/h2>\n<p>The process of straightening teeth with Invisalign in Herndon is incredibly straightforward. All patients need to do to reduce spaces in their smile is wear each pair of clear aligners in the series for a set period of time. This is typically between 20 and 22 hours per day for about 12 to 18 months. The length of your treatment largely depends on the complexity of your case but also on how committed you are to transforming your smile. However, when you compare Invisalign\u2019s treatment time to metal braces, the differences are night and day. Metal braces can take a minimum of two years before any results appear.<\/p>\n<p>After you complete treatment, you\u2019ll be given a retainer to wear while you sleep. This keeps your teeth in place for the rest of your life, so you\u2019ll need to wear it to prevent your smile from relapsing.<\/p>\n<h2>The Additional Benefits of Invisalign Treatment<\/h2>\n<p>Not only is Invisalign a better solution for some patients, it\u2019s also a much easier treatment to manage overall. The aligners are removable, meaning you won\u2019t need to change your diet or brushing habits to accommodate them. You\u2019ll just need to remove then when you eat and drink beverages that aren\u2019t plain water.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the aligners are clear, so you also won\u2019t need to make dramatic changes to your appearance. You can take photos with your friends and they won\u2019t even notice that your straightening your teeth!<\/p>\n<p>Let your smile shine in future photos with friends and families.
