Traditional metal braces aren’t your only option for straightening your teeth. At Jepsen, Murphy & Associates Dental, we use Invisalign orthodontics to give you the beautiful smile you seek. Invisalign clear aligners take the place of metal brackets, wires, and bands to realign your teeth. The process is simple, convenient, and easy to use. A visit to your Invisalign dentist in Westminster, Colorado, can determine if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign orthodontics.
Invisalign clear aligners can correct many of the same orthodontic problems as traditional metal braces, only without the inconvenience.
Invisalign can fix issues with:
Your Invisalign dentist will start by evaluating your oral health and assessing the problems that need to be fixed. Then, we’ll discuss the goals you’d like to achieve through Invisalign and create a plan to reach them. We’ll take impressions of your teeth to have a series of aligners customized for your use. When worn, these aligners place gentle pressure on your teeth to steadily shift them into a straighter position. You’ll change to the next set of aligners in your series every few weeks until your treatment is complete.
Unlike metal braces that are permanently attached to your teeth, Invisalign aligners are removable for eating and oral hygiene. The aligners are composed of biocompatible plastic material with no metal parts to irritate your gums or cheeks. Invisalign clear aligners won’t impact your appearance or lifestyle, as they’re practically invisible on your teeth, making your treatment highly discreet.
As Invisalign is a personalized orthodontic procedure, treatment times will vary from one person to the next. Minor problems like gaps between teeth may take six months to fix, while more complex issues like overcrowding may take longer to correct. On average, treatment times range from 12 to 18 months to achieve the beautiful results of perfectly aligned teeth.
