Is a mouthful of metal actually a better option than crooked, misaligned teeth? What if you could avoid both? General and cosmetic dentist Gregory Chace, DMD, FAGD, at Gentle Dental Associates in Melbourne, FL, provides Invisalign® and SureSmile clear aligners for straightening teeth. Call today to learn about our services and how you can straighten your smile without the appearance of traditional braces.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that uses custom-made, invisible braces to gradually shift teeth into place. Unlike metal braces, the aligners are smooth, removable, and barely noticeable when worn.
Patients appreciate the flexibility of enjoying their favorite foods, maintaining normal brushing and flossing habits, and completing treatment that fits seamlessly into their daily lives.
Benefits of Clear Braces
Choosing teeth straightening options provides many advantages over traditional braces:
Dental Issues Invisalign Can Correct
Crowded Teeth
Invisalign aligners can gently create the space needed for overlapping or crowded teeth, improving your bite and overall appearance.
Gaps Between Teeth
Unwanted spaces between teeth can be closed, improving the look of your smile and reducing the risk of gum issues.
Rotated Teeth
If one or more teeth are turned out of position, Invisalign can gradually rotate them into proper alignment for a more uniform look.
Relapse After Braces
If your teeth have shifted after previous orthodontic treatment, Invisalign can help move them back to their ideal position without the need for metal braces again.
How Clear Aligners Work
The process of teeth straightening with clear braces is straightforward and designed for comfort:
In most cases, a treatment takes 6 to 18 months to complete, depending on your needs. Flexible payment options make invisible braces an accessible choice for many patients.
Before and After Care for Clear Braces
