Invisalign patients enjoy the benefits of straightening their teeth with the most advanced clear aligner in the world and having the confidence to wear their orthodontic appliance in front of others; it’s just what the doctor ordered! So why haven’t YOU had Invisalign yet?
Research and consultation
Backed by more than 20 years of research, Invisalign is the clear alternative to braces. In fact, more than 4 million patients have used this system for their orthodontic treatment. Dr. Ashley Reynolds is an Invisalign expert here at Crescent Orthodontics, and offers a FREE CONSULTATION to go over your options. What do you have to lose?
Why Invisalign instead of braces?
Much like braces, Invisalign can fix the following orthodontic issues:
- Gapped teeth
- Overbite
- Underbite
- Open bite
- Overly-crowded teeth
- Cross bite
Also, it is covered by most insurance plans. Your plan, along with the treatment process, is discussed during the initial consultation. Furthermore, the clear aligner system requires NO wires or brackets, giving patients more comfort. Here at Crescent Orthodontics, Dr. Reynolds uses a digital scanner to create 3D images of your teeth. With this technology, he/she can map out a precise treatment plan with a set of aligners that are specifically meant for the patient. Another advantage is the fact that it can be removed for eating and to brush your teeth. And the best part, the aligners are virtually INVISIBLE! So why not?
Healthy treatment
Today, we are more health-conscious than ever before, however what’s not known by many is that orthodontic issues can lead to health problems. Straight teeth can alleviate issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and oral infections, and can also prevent even more health issues like heart disease or even a stroke.
Patient responsibility
With Invisalign comes responsibility. To ensure the best orthodontic treatment possible, the patient MUST: wear the aligners 20-22 hours per day, a new set of aligners must be switch every week (as you wear each set of aligners, your teeth will gently and gradually shift into place), and lastly, the aligners must be properly cleaned every day. Not performing these important tasks will result in treatment being unsuccessful and/or longer.
Invisalign is an effective and appropriate option for many patients in South Lyon MI who are looking to improve their appearance and their overall oral health. To find out if treatment with Invisalign clear aligners is appropriate for you, contact us today.
