Braces used to be the only way to straighten teeth affected by a bad bite. But now, we have a system called Invisalign that allows us to straighten your teeth without using the brackets and wires of traditional braces.

The patented Invisalign system uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually reposition your teeth. The Invisalign system aligners are more visually appealing than braces. They are also removable, which makes it easier to clean your teeth after eating. The aligners are smooth and comfortable, and they don't irritate your gums, teeth, cheek and tongue. The Invisalign system also eliminates any allergic reactions that you may experience.

Aligners are created and customized from clear molds of your teeth. Each aligner is worn for about 2 weeks and they are removable for when you eat, drink, and floss.

Every 2 weeks you replace the aligner with the next one in the series. Your teeth move a little at a time until they are straight. Every 6 weeks you come back to see us at Dream Smile Dental so we can make sure your teeth are progressing correctly. Invisalign typically takes 9 to 15 months.

Come on in a see us for a review of your teeth and your lifestyle so we can see if Invisalign is right for you or your teen.

Malocclusion is the name of the condition that involves teeth that are crowded or crooked. Otherwise, it is known as a “bad bite”. In some cases, the upper and lower jaws may not meet properly and although the teeth may appear straight, the individual may have an uneven bite.
 
Orthodontics or braces are used to correct this. Is there any worse news for a teen than “you need braces?”
 
Correcting the problem can create a nice-looking smile, but what to do with your child's aesthetic concerns in the mean-time? Invisalign for teens can help in many cases. For teens, they want straight teeth, and as their parent you want to make the best decision, and set them up for a beautiful smile for life.
 
Invisalign Teen takes a modern approach to straightening teeth. With a series of clear aligners that gradually straighten your child’s teeth, Invisalign is comfortable, affordable and effective. By using clear aligners, they can continue brushing and flossing the way they normally do. And without brackets and wires, your teen will have the confidence of a great smile even while their teeth are being treated. To make life easier on you and your teen, each aligner comes with a small, inconspicuous Blue Dot Wear Indicator, which helps you know when they are ready for their next set of aligners.
 
You know your teen, so don’t worry, you get up to six free replacement aligners, because accidents happen.  Contact Dream Smile Dental if you believe your teen may need orthodontic work. Invisalign may be able to help you through those teen years.

We all understand the importance of a first impression. In business, there is no tool like your smile. Invisalign can help adults who need orthodontic aid. You need to feel confident that you look your best.

Often adults will forgo straightening their teeth because metal braces are too disruptive or too embarrassing. In many cases, if Invisalign will work for you, Invisalign can be the answer. Although most adults who straighten their teeth do so for aesthetic reasons, however, there are benefits to overall dental health as well. When teeth are properly aligned, your gums fit more securely around the teeth, allowing for the strongest and healthiest teeth and gums.

You can get the same results with metal braces. But why go through that? Invisalign allows you to feel confident throughout the entire process. Adults who need braces lead a different lifestyle than teens. Invisalign accommodates adults and their needs. Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible when you're wearing them, and removable when you need them to be.

With many dental situations, Invisalign could be the perfect solution for you. Invisalign has the flexibility and convenience to fit your life. Contact Dream Smile Dental to see if Invisalign will work for you.
