Smile Confidently With Invisalign From Epic Dental Center

We come across many patients with less-than-perfect smile due to misaligned teeth. Maybe you’re in the same boat and seeking a smile correction but don’t want the stigma of metal braces. If your oral health is good, and your misalignment issues are minor, we have the fix for your crooked teeth.

Invisalign: The Invisible Alternative To Metal Braces

If you’re unhappy with your smile, Invisalign clear aligners can offer you a beautiful smile makeover. We are Invisalign providers that have extensive experience in this orthodontic treatment.  We love helping patients achieve beautiful, healthy smiles without metal or tooth-colored ceramic braces for minor misaligned bite issues.

Invisalign is a great alternative to traditional metal braces and even porcelain veneers for patients who want to improve their smile. We can achieve desired results without anyone knowing you’re undergoing treatment. The treatment is virtually invisible and is a common solution at many orthodontic offices and cosmetic dentists.  

Invisalign is more comfortable than braces as it doesn’t have metal wires or brackets that can irritate your gums and cheeks. Braces can also limit what you can eat and require a lot of upkeep. Since the aligners are removable, you can take them out to eat and brush your teeth with ease.

What is Invisalign And How Does it Work?

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment option for slightly misaligned teeth. It straightens your teeth without the use of metal brackets or wires. Instead, Invisalign uses a series of clear, custom-made aligners that gradually move your teeth into the desired position.

Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before being replaced by the next in the series. As you change aligners, your teeth will gradually move until they are straight in their final position. You’ll achieve the beautiful, healthy smile that you’ve been wanting without metal brackets or wires.

What Are The Benefits?

Our patients love Invisalign for many reasons but some of the top benefits they mention include:

Aesthetics: Traditional braces are very noticeable, which can be embarrassing for adults. Since the aligners are clear, no one can tell you have them on.

Comfort: Metal braces can rub against your gums and cheeks, causing sores and discomfort. Since the aligners are made of smooth plastic, they are much more comfortable to wear.

Invisalign aligners can be removed: You can remove the aligners, At Epic Dental Center, we often get asked if Invisalign is suitable for patients.allowing you to eat and clean your teeth normally. This is not possible with regular braces. Additionally, there are no food restrictions!

Common Misconceptions About Invisalign

One of the most common questions we get here at Epic Dental Center is whether or not Invisalign is right for the patient. There are a lot of misconceptions out there about this treatment and how it works, so we like to clear up any misconceptions you may have such as these top two:

Invisalign is just as effective as an alternative to braces, if not more so. The process uses clear plastic aligners that gradually shift your teeth into place just like metal braces.

Because they’re practically invisible, a lot of people think that Invisalign isn’t as effective. But the truth is, Invisalign can be just as effective – sometimes even more effective!

Another common misconception is that Invisalign is only for minor dental corrections. Again, this couldn’t be further from the truth! Invisalign can be used to correct a wide variety of dental issues, including overcrowding, gaps in teeth, overbites, and underbites.

This notion comes from the fact that there are some severe cases of malocclusions that aren’t correctable by this procedure, but then again, even traditional braces have trouble with those cases.

When issues are that bad, there’s usually some kind of extractions and reconstruction involved along with implants. Chances are for most cases, Invisalign is a great alternative to metal braces.

Get The Epic Smile You Deserve!

Invisalign is one of the most popular services that our patients request.  This usually stems from the fact that metal braces as an adult tend to come with a stigma. As for teenagers with mild to moderate misalignments, it’s a great way for them to get the smile makeover they want.
