Invisalign Braces
Even if the final outcome is beautiful, perfectly aligned teeth, more self-confidence and enjoyment of life, most people contemplating braces do so with mixed emotions. Perhaps a parent knows that their child needs braces, but remembers their braces-wearing years as a slow marathon of pain, teasing, jokes, and embarrassment. Perhaps an adult realizes that correcting their own teeth would bring many benefits, both personally and in business, but they can't bear to think of the endurance test adults wearing braces must face as well.
It may come as a welcome surprise, but there are dental services in Oak Park that have a new answer for anyone who needs orthodontia, and that answer is Invisalign Braces. Invisalign Braces don't use any metal bands, brackets, or wires. Orthodontic dentists in Oak Park are offering a product that is nothing short of a revolutionary step in the practice of orthodontics.
Oak Park Invisalign Braces Dentist
Invisalign Braces consist of a series of "Aligners", or corrective molds of the patient's teeth that are worn for twenty to twenty two hours a day. They are made with USP Class VI medical grade, high molecular weight polyurethane resins. Incrementally, the patient wears aligners that straighten the teeth a little at the time. In most cases, the teeth are straight after about a year.
The Aligners are taken off for eating, brushing and flossing, playing contact sports, playing instruments requiring the mouth, and for special occasions. The rest of the time, the nearly invisible Aligners are working gently to straighten the teeth. Many people looking straight at the Aligners don't even notice them. Parents can check to see that the Aligners are being worn as their braces dentist in Oak Park has recommended by checking the special Blue Dot wear indicator that fades to clear over a two week interval when worn regularly.
Invisalign Braces can be used without waiting for certain permanent teeth to grow; the Aligners are custom fit to anticipate the teeth when they do come in. That is a Godsend for kids whose teeth grow slowly, and are anticipating High School as a "Brace Face". Your Oak Park Invisalign Dentist can fit Aligners on much younger children and so the braces experience can be just a memory when Prom Time comes.
