Many of the teenagers our Westfield cosmetic dentists speak to report that they would love to achieve perfect, straight smiles, but they can’t imagine suffering through the months and years in metal braces that it takes to achieve a perfect smile. Unfortunately, this keeps many young patients from pursuing cosmetic treatment, and they spend their teen years trying to hide their teeth from the world.

We’re here to tell you that there’s a better way to get the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. Invisalign clear aligners are an innovative alternative to traditional braces. Patients simply wear a series of clear plastic aligners. These aligners gradually and progressively move teeth into their ideal positions. Invisalign aligners have a number of advantages over metal braces.

Many patients are initially drawn toward the Invisalign system because the aligners used are made of clear plastic. Consequently, these aligners are practically invisible when worn by the patient. You can transform your smile without anyone noticing! Rather than paying attention to the metal brackets and wires in your mouth, people will be noticing your increasingly perfect smile!

Beyond aesthetics, Invisalign can actually help you keep your teeth and mouth clean. Because these aligners are totally removable, you can take them out to clean your teeth and aligners normally. You’ll be able to brush and floss as usual, and the smooth aligners are easy to keep clean with regular maintenance.

Invisalign is also more comfortable for patients, because there aren’t any abrasive metal wires or brackets to irritate oral tissues. Patients report less tissue sensitivity when using these smooth plastic aligners.

As you can see, Invisalign aligners are largely preferable to traditional brackets and wires. If you’ve been considering cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign may be the ideal solution for you. Give our Westfield Invisalign office a call for more information or to schedule an appointment.
