Serving Areas of Fairfax, Fairfax Station, and Burke, VA
Traditionally, correcting crooked teeth typically meant traditional metal braces, but orthodontic advancements have evolved significantly. Dr. Pamela Marzban, is certified to offer Invisalign in Burke, presenting a contemporary alternative for patients pursuing orthodontic treatment. Discover the advantages of choosing Invisalign to achieve beautifully straightened teeth.
How Does Invisalign Work?
In contrast to traditional braces that rely on metal brackets and wires, Invisalign utilizes transparent plastic aligners. These personalized aligners are crafted to fit over your teeth and composite stops to shift your teeth into a straight position. When worn, they exert gentle pressure, gradually shifting the alignment of your teeth. Every two weeks, a new set of aligners is provided, resulting in a beautifully aligned smile.
Why should you consider Invisalign?
- The aligners are removable: One of the best parts about Invisalign is that you can remove them to eat and clean your teeth, so you never have to worry about fighting a metal bracket to get food out of your teeth. This is also beneficial because it minimizes staining and the risk of cavities.
- Your food choice is unaffected: With regular braces there are many foods you cannot eat due to the texture, size, and color of the food. That results in damaged brackets, staining, cavities, and more. Luckily with Invisalign from your Burke dentist this will not matter! You eat without your Invisalign aligners, and can clean up right after dinner!
- They work fast: While the specific requirements of individual patients vary, in general, Invisalign can yield noticeable results within approximately six to 15 months. Whereas, patients undergoing traditional braces often need to wear them for a duration ranging from 18 months to two years, and in some cases, even longer, before achieving the desired alignment of their teeth.
- They’re metal-free: The clear plastic aligners are both transparent and smooth, eliminating the presence of sharp edges found in traditional braces brackets. This absence of sharp edges ensures a more comfortable experience, preventing irritation to the cheeks and other soft tissues of the mouth commonly associated with braces.
- They’re discreet:. The Invisalign aligners are transparent, and at most points barely noticeable. This characteristic makes Invisalign a perfect treatment option for individuals prioritizing aesthetics or for adults who may feel self-conscious about undergoing orthodontic care. A plus side is that Invisalign gives the illusion of your teeth looking thicker and whiter, therefore you can feel confident throughout the whole journey.
