Discover the clear alternative that many teens and adults are using to correct their smiles.

Do you feel embarrassed smiling on a date or around colleagues because your smile is a little crooked or misaligned? If so, then it’s time to stop hiding your smile and start showing it off. You may be wondering how, but our Northwest Houston, TX, dentist, Dr. Brent Browning, has a clear, nearly invisible solution for getting the straighter smile you want without other people noticing.

We know that the last thing you want to deal with is wearing braces as an adult; however, you are never too old to get the smile results that you want and Invisalign can help make the orthodontic process later in life a little easier. Instead of metal braces, which most people imagine when they imagine braces, Invisalign uses different clear, plastic aligners. These aligners look similar to whitening trays, and each aligner is custom-made so they apply the proper amount of pressure to certain teeth to gradually shift them throughout the course of your treatment.

As you might imagine, in order to get the results you want our Northwest Houston general dentist will need to create your detailed and specific treatment plan to determine which teeth need to shift and just how much they need to move in order to get the smile you desire. Once this plan is fully mapped out and images are taken of your mouth and teeth, an Invisalign dental lab will go to work specially crafting each aligner to fit your treatment goals.

Since aligners are made from medical-grade plastic they are comfortable and cause less irritation than metal braces can in the very beginning of your treatment. Even though you need to wear your aligners for about 22 hours out of the day, you can take them out before mealtimes or before brushing and flossing your teeth. This means that Invisalign works with your schedule rather than having to change your daily routine to accommodate your Invisalign. And you’ll get to enjoy all of your favorite foods during your treatment.

Invisalign can be the perfect orthodontic treatment option for older teens and adults who are looking to correct:

• Minor crookedness
• Gaps between teeth
• Crowding
• Overbites
• Underbites
• Crossbites
• Open bites
