When we straighten our teeth, we hope to finish the process as quickly (and painlessly!) as possible. Not only is traditional orthodontic treatment bulky and uncomfortable, we're eager to get our braces off and finally see the stunning results. In this way, ideal orthodontic treatment is that which is the fastest, most comfortable, and generally the least invasive with regard to patients' dailly lives. With Invisalign treatment, those goals are achieved. Our Schenectady dentist offers Invisalign to adults and teens seeking something a little different from traditional orthodontic fare. We find the results are equal to those gained with braces, and the treatment process far superior.

The Convenience of Invisalign | Schenectady Dentist

Invisalign aligners differ from metal braces in a basic, fundamental way. By moving teeth without obscuring teeth, Invisalign treament creates a new kind of orthodontic process. We’ve outlined a few of our favorite things about Invisalign below.

  • Invisalign allows you to straighten on your own. You need visit your dentist less frequently, as you are able to change to new aligner trays at home. As your trays are completely removable, you manage your orthodontic treatment. This isn’t to say that your Schenectady dentist won’t be involved – we’ll see you every six weeks, and always be available to answer questions.
  • Invisalign doesn’t let anyone know you’re straightening your teeth. Invisalign trays are made of clear plastic, and sit snugly against your teeth. They won’t be noticeable when you are smiling or speaking.
  • Invisalign trays are comfortable in your mouth. The smooth plastic trays don’t catch on your cheeks or cause discomfort. Whereas braces can have poking wires and sharp brackets, Invisalign trays will not irritate the inside of your mouth.
  • Invisalign lets you monitor your progress. Clear Invisalign trays allow you to watch your teeth move and anticipate the final results.

Schenectady Dentist on Who is Right for Invisalign Treatment

We’d love to offer Invisalign to every single one of our patients. Unfortunately, it’s not right for every bite. Depending on the severity of your malocclusion, Invisalign may not move your teeth in the way they need to be shifted. Invisalign is right for patients with mild to medium malocclusions, who primarily need to move the teeth that are a part of their smiles. Contact our office to determine whether you can straighten with Invisalign.
