The availability of invisible braces has opened up the door of orthodontic treatment to many individuals who had long since given up on the idea of braces. Perhaps they were too self-conscious to wear metal braces or felt that their careers would be hindered if they were to wear traditional braces for a length of time. Whatever the reason, these patients now have a method of teeth straightening that is safe, effective and barely noticeable.
The most popular type of invisible braces is Invisalign. "Unlike braces, the Invisalign treatment plan uses a series of individually designed aligners that fit over the teeth and encourage their proper alignment through gentle pressure." In patients whose conditions prove appropriate for this type of dental treatment, results may be achieved in less time than with traditional braces.
The key to success when wearing invisible braces is commitment. The aligners are not permanently adhered to the teeth, and it is the responsibility of the patient to change the aligners every two weeks. An Atlanta orthodontic specialist will evaluate individuals interested in this type of dental treatment to ensure that they are ideal candidates for Invisalign.
