Invisalign in Puyallup, WA
If your teeth are crooked or misaligned, you’re not alone! In fact, about 9 out of 10 people have misaligned teeth to varying degrees. While you may think that crooked teeth are strictly a matter of appearances, they can actually impact your dental health. This is because crooked teeth can overlap or be positioned in such a way that they are harder to keep clean. And if you can’t keep your teeth clean, you can develop oral health problems like tooth decay and gum disease.
Until recently, the best way to correct misaligned teeth was to get traditional metal braces. It’s estimated that around 4 million people in the United States are wearing braces at any given time in an effort to achieve straighter, healthier smiles.
Thanks to modern technology, you don’t have to deal with metal braces to straighten your teeth. At Wonderful Smiles, you can get a beautiful and healthy smile with Invisalign.
What is Invisalign?
Invisalign is a modern way to treat misaligned teeth. Instead of attaching metal brackets and wires to your teeth like traditional braces do, Invisalign uses custom-made clear aligner trays. These aligners are worn over your teeth and strategically exert pressure to shift the position of your teeth, just like traditional braces. When used properly, you’ll start to see results in just a few weeks.
Invisalign aligner trays are made of a high-quality plastic that is tailored to fit your teeth exactly. Using advanced diagnostic imaging, Dr. Mahajan can accurately predict how long your treatment will take. We can even use a 3D computer model to show you how your treatment will progress so you can get a sneak peak at your future smile!
Benefits of Invisalign
One of the greatest benefits of using Invisalign is in the name: invisible aligners. Most patients love how discreet these clear aligner trays are compared to traditional metal braces. Invisalign aligner trays are also:
- Easy to remove and put on yourself
- Thin and lightweight
- Designed for a comfortable fit
- Easy to keep clean
- Easy to use with fewer visits to the dentist
The best part is that Invisalign isn’t just for children and teenagers. Adults can use Invisalign aligners to achieve a straighter smile, too!
