Many adults live with crooked or crowded teeth because they believe the only alternative is years of traditional orthodontic treatment with metal braces. However, today you don’t have to endure years of life with uncomfortable braces to get back the smile you were born to have.
Patients who want to straighten teeth will be pleased to know that the Troy, OH orthodontics dentist offers the option of using Invisalign clear aligners. Clear braces like Invisalign and ClearCorrect are effective, efficient alternatives to traditional braces. They offer a more comfortable and virtually invisible method for gently straightening your teeth.
Reasons to Consider Invisalign
- Comfortable: Comfortable plastic aligners are made of a soft, flexible material, so they’re much less likely to create any irritation to your mouth.
- Discreet: Crystal-clear aligners are nearly invisible. The casual observer will not notice any difference when you’re wearing your aligner.
- Removable: You can remove your aligners when you eat, brush your teeth, or any other time that it’s necessary.
Getting Clear Braces: What’s Involved
The Troy, OH orthodontics dentist starts by taking impressions, images, and x-rays of your mouth. A specialized software program allows us to develop your entire treatment plan and predict how your teeth will move, from start to finish.
We send the information to a lab where several sets of clear aligners are customized to straighten your smile. You will be instructed to wear each set for about two weeks. You’ll then switch to the next set that has been carefully crafted to move your teeth to the next stage in the process.
Problems Invisalign Corrects
Invisalign clear aligners correct nearly any alignment issue you may have with your teeth. Our dentists will help you choose the appropriate Invisalign system to correct issues like the following:
- Crooked teeth
- Overbites/Underbite

- Spaces/gaps in teeth
Orthodontic treatment with clear aligners like Invisalign and ClearCorrect is a perfect choice that fits your busy lifestyle while providing the straight, beautiful smile you’ve always dreamed of. Please contact the Troy, OH dentist for more orthodontics information.
