Invisalign® aligners are a great choice for patients who are searching for a more discreet orthodontic treatment option for straightening their smile. Rather than using metal brackets and wires like traditional braces, the Invisalign system uses a series of custom-made, computer-generated plastic aligners to straighten teeth.
Here at Southern Dental Birmingham, our friendly dentists can offer Invisalign® treatments. These treatments are a worry-free option for correcting and straightening your teeth. If you would like to schedule an appointment with one of our dental professionals, Dr. Murphy H. Maddox or J. Drayton Smith, or if you would like to learn more about Invisalign treatment options in Birmingham, Alabama, give us a call today at 205-991-2433!
Each set of aligners is designed to make small changes to the alignment of the teeth. As you switch sets of aligners about every two weeks, your teeth will gradually and gently move to their proper positions. You will also visit our office on a regular basis during treatment to make certain that your smile is progressing as planned.
In general, Invisalign® aligners can be used to treat the same orthodontic issues that are normally treated with braces. Our dentist may recommend Invisalign® aligner treatment to correct:
Invisalign® aligners are invisible, removable, and comfortable aligners will give you the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted. And best of all, no one can tell you’re wearing them. Invisalign® aligners are great for adults and teenagers.
The duration of Invisalign treatment varies depending on individual needs, but most patients complete their treatment within 12 to 18 months. Your dentist will provide a more accurate timeline during your consultation.
For optimal results, Invisalign aligners should be worn 20-22 hours per day, only removing them for eating, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear is essential for the treatment to progress as planned.
No matter what your needs or goals for your smile may be, our dentists and teams are here to help. We look forward to meeting you and every member of your family and helping you take your first steps to better smiles.
