Invisalign®
Many people would like to straighten teeth that appear misaligned or crooked and correct over- and under-bite issues; however, they do not want to go through the hassle, discomfort, and aesthetic issues brought on by wearing traditional metal braces. Invisalign®, available at Darby Dental Services, is a system of clear teeth aligners that can be removed at any time, and provide you with many of the same benefits as metal braces. They are also more comfortable to wear and virtually invisible to others. Plus, with Invisalign®, you can attain optimal results in less time than it takes with other orthodontic treatments.
Please contact Dr. Lloyd H. Darby for more information on Invisalign® at our Vidalia, Mt. Vernon, and Lyons, Georgia-area practice.
Invisalign® Benefits
Invisalign® can straighten your teeth and correct over- and underbite issues without the aesthetic unpleasantness and discomfort that are often associated with traditional metal braces. Some of the benefits of Invisalign® include:
- Clear, virtually invisible teeth aligners
- No wires or metal clamps
- Removable aligners for eating, drinking, sleeping, brushing, and flossing
- No problems like broken wires and other issues caused by traditional braces that may require a trip to the dentist or orthodontist for fixes and adjustments
Invisalign® Procedure
Dr. Darby will begin the Invisalign® procedure by taking an impression of your teeth. A system of clear teeth aligners will be custom-made from this impression, designed to give you the most precise fit possible. Each tray of aligners is slightly modified from the one that comes before it, aiming to progressively straighten your teeth over the treatment period. Every two weeks, you will change out the Invisalign® tray for the next in the set. Typical treatment periods for Invisalign® last from 9 to 15 months. The Invisalign® clear teeth aligners should be worn consistently throughout each day; however, one of the many benefits of Invisalign® is that you can remove them while eating, drinking, sleeping, and performing routine oral care.
Once the treatment process is complete, you can expect to have straighter teeth and an improved look to your smile!
Most candidates for Invisalign® are adults; however, Dr. Darby can recommend a number of effective alternatives for children and adolescents who may need orthodontic treatment. Please contact our practice today for more information on Invisalign®, or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Darby.
