Why might I consider Invisalign over other orthodontic and dental treatments?

The team at StarBrite Dental of Dublin, California, knows that many patients with misaligned or gapped smiles avoid the conversation of treatment with their dentist for fear of needing metal bracket-and-wire braces. Fortunately, there are advances in the field of orthodontia that allow patients to avoid these appliances in the first place. This includes the inclusion of Invisalign orthodontics, a revolutionary alternative to traditional orthodontia.

Why might I consider Invisalign over conventional braces?

Invisalign has become an increasingly popular way to achieve the smile patients have always wanted! Using clear plastic trays instead of metal bracket-and-wire braces, patients can gradually push teeth into the proper alignment over the course of several months. Invisalign Orthodontics uses removable trays that patients wear for at least 20 hours each day to succeed in obtaining the new, beautiful smile they’ve always wanted!

Actual Patient Results

What are the benefits of using Invisalign to realign the smile?

Instead of using metal brackets connected with unsightly guidewires, many patients choose Invisalign orthodontics as an alternative for several reasons. 

Invisalign:

• Uses clear plastic trays that are discreet when worn
• Allows patients to have control over their treatment
• Does not require as many recall visits with the dentist
• Can be done by a dentist without the referral of an orthodontist in the area
• Is comfortable, as the trays fit over the teeth and are made of smooth plastic
• Provides results in approximately one year instead of several
• Can be used for patients of all ages, as long as treatment is followed as directed
• Is comparable in cost with traditional braces
• Trays are easy to keep clean
• Allows better brushing and flossing, reducing the risk of cavities and development of periodontal disease during treatment
