Invisalign® Clear Braces
Having gaps or crooked teeth can be embarrassing. Some people go their whole lives afraid to smile or laugh because they don’t like the way their teeth look. In addition to cosmetic concerns, crowded teeth can put your overall health at risk. Crowded teeth can increase your chances of developing gum disease because of the increased difficulty in keeping plaque and tartar controlled.
The good news is that you can have the smile you’ve always dreamed of! We offer Invisalign at Nashville Restorative Dentistry, which is perfectly tailored to adults who want to realign their teeth without the bulk or appearance of braces.
Invisalign treatment starts with a quick scan of your teeth. You can even preview what your new smile will look like before you start! Once the initial scan is complete, we’ll create a custom treatment plan tailored just for you. Clear aligners are then made to be worn over your teeth to gently move them into the desired position, and the trays will be changed every 7-14 days to keep your teeth progressing in the right direction.
How Do Invisalign Clear Aligners Work?
If you’re wanting to change the look of your smile by moving teeth, you may have heard about Invisalign or clear aligners that allow you to do that without wearing braces. This is an awesome way to gently and slowly create the new smile you want to see without having to wear brackets and wires, like you may be thinking about when you envision what someone wearing braces looks like.
Clear aligners are a thin plastic tray that is going to go over your existing teeth that you’re going to change every seven to 14 days. Each tray is going to move a tooth about a quarter millimeter at a time. So, when we start a case, we’re taking a digital scan of the teeth, we’re using a computer to map out the change in position that we want to create, and then that series of clear aligners are going to be made start to finish they’re going to gently move the teeth into the new position that we’re trying to create.
