Invisalign Clear Aligners For Straighter, Healthier Teeth

Is the idea of traditional metal braces stopping you from getting your teeth straightened? Do you want a more beautiful, healthier smile? If you answered yes to either or both of these questions, Dr. Peterson has the solution for you. Clear Aligners are an excellent alternative to traditional metal braces. 

Invisalign®

Clear aligners are the perfect solution for adults and teens. Patients get excellent results while enjoying a comfortable treatment.  A straight smile is a healthy smile, and Dr. Peterson wants you to have the smile of your dreams. Orthodontic treatment will give you straight teeth, but there are benefits to choosing Invisalign® over other options.

Benefits of Invisalign®

There are numerous benefits to having straight teeth. Straight teeth are easier to brush and floss, they are less prone to accidental injury, and they foster an aligned bite. Clear aligners, in particular, are a great choice if you want to straighten your teeth for the following reasons:

• Discreet – Clear aligners are barely noticeable. People will notice you, not the braces on your teeth.
• Removable – Invisalign® clear aligners are completely removable, allowing for better hygiene because you won’t have to brush and floss around them. Take them out for your dental hygiene routine and then put them back in. You will be able to eat and drink all your favorites. Remove them for meal times and put them back in after brushing and flossing.
• Faster than traditional braces – Dr. Peterson will determine how long your treatment will take, but on average, treatment with clear aligners is shorter than with traditional braces.
• More comfortable than traditional braces – Invisalign® is much more comfortable than traditional braces. There won’t be any wires poking the inside of your mouth, and the 3D impressions are made using the latest technology.

Best Candidates

The best candidates for Invisalign® are teens and adults who want straighter teeth but don’t want traditional metal braces. Dr. Peterson will be able to help you decide after a consultation here in our office. 

What To Expect

First, we will sit own to discuss your goals and concerns. Once we go over the wonderful possibilities and you are ready to move forward, we will get started with the first steps. 

We will take a digital scan of your mouth. The digital scan replaces those goopy impressions that you used to have to do. Then we will get a series of photos that we need to design your case. Dr. Peterson will work to design a custom plan to move your teeth into proper bite function while also achieving a beautiful smile.  Once your treatment has been designed and returned to the office a few short weeks later, we will have you back in the office to start with your first set of aligners. You will also receive a customized plan with all your aligners dated and your case preplanned for the length of the time previously discussed at the initial appointment. You will be on your way to your new smile!!

If you see a straighter smile in your future, contact our office located in Coppell, TX to schedule an appointment for an Invisalign® consultation. We look forward to seeing you soon.
