Can you straighten my teeth without braces?

invisalign lower plenty | woman holding alignerYes! Invisalign clear aligners allow our dentists to align your teeth without using brackets and wires. Instead, we use clear, plastic aligners that gradually move your teeth into position.

How Invisalign in Lower Plenty Works

Straightening your teeth with clear aligners is simple. To achieve the best results, you'll wear your aligners for at least 22 hours each day, removing them for meals, brushing, and flossing.

Since aligners are smooth and comfortable to wear, they won't interfere with your regular daily interactions, and no one will notice that you're straightening your teeth.

Most patients can achieve a straighter smile in six to eighteen months, depending on their specific needs.

Problems That Clear Aligners Fix

Invisalign works well for most people as long as there are no complicated bite issues to correct. Complex bite concerns are better corrected with traditional braces.

Some of the concerns clear aligners in Lower Plenty can address are:

  • Crooked or overlapped teeth
  • Gaps or spaces between teeth
  • Crossbite
  • Overbite
  • Underbite

If you want more information about clear aligners with Invisalign and if it's right for your smile, the first step is to book an evaluation with one of our dentists to learn more and discuss your options.
