Invisalign – The Clear Path to a Healthy Smile

Many adults want to correct their smile without the bulky, unattractive wires and brackets associated with traditional brace wear. Invisalign® is a teeth-straightening system that uses a series of clear, removable, plastic trays to make incremental adjustments to teeth. The aligners address issues of crowding, spacing, and overbite in a more aesthetically pleasing orthodontic alternative for adults and teens. 

The Many Advantages of Invisalign®

Invisalign offers a more comfortable teeth-straightening experience. The system use a single set of impressions and detailed imaging to accurately project how teeth should be adjusted. Clear plastic aligners, or trays, are customized to gradually achieve the patient's desired smile.

The clear plastic aligners are far more comfortable than wire and metal and, as removable devices, they also offer a easier care routine than traditional braces. The appliance should be worn for a minimum of 23 hours each day; however, the patient can remove it for short periods of time during meals. They are able to eat and drink without diet restrictions, and brush and floss normally. 

Confidence in your Smile

With Invisalign, patients aren't encumbered with an uncomfortable corrective device. People who would otherwise feel self-conscious in social and professional settings can relax – the clear Invisalign trays are virtually undetectable.

Maintaining a Healthy Smile

Invisalign gives patients the opportunity to stay in control of their dental health. Traditional orthodontics can make it difficult to keep teeth clean and free of plaque buildup -- the metal brackets and wires make flossing extremely challenging. Invisalign makes it possible for patients to maintain a daily cleaning routine of thorough brushing and flossing. Because it is removable, the device itself can be cleaned to remove disease-causing bacteria.  

If you're thinking it's time for braces, talk to your Torrance dentist at Blue Sky Family Dental to see if Invisalign® is right for you. Dr. Robert Mondavi will help you achieve a healthy, beautiful and confident smile.
