Invisalign® in Fairhope, AL

First, we’ll need to get a clear picture of your current smile. We’ll take some photos of your teeth and face, along with dental impressions and X-rays. We then send these records to Invisalign®, along with precise instructions for how your smile should look at the end of the treatment.

The experience of wearing Invisalign® vs. traditional braces is like night and day. Here are five things to think about as you make your decision.

• Appearance:  Invisalign® is virtually invisible, while metal braces can’t be missed.
• Comfort:  There are no brackets or wires with Invisalign®, making it more comfortable to wear compared to traditional metal braces, which have been known to cause injuries.
• Cleaning: Invisalign® aligners are removable, making it easier to clean your teeth and maintain good oral hygiene. Traditional metal braces collect food particles, leading to tooth decay.
• Eating:  Invisalign® allows you to remove the aligners before meals, so you don’t have the food restrictions that come with metal braces.
• Treatment time:  Invisalign® treatment typically takes less time than traditional metal braces. On average, Invisalign® treatment takes 12-18 months, while traditional braces can take up to 3 years.

Overall, Invisalign® is a more comfortable, convenient, and visually pleasing option for straightening teeth than traditional metal braces.

Invisalign® is a terrific option for teens and adults looking to correct mild to moderate orthodontic issues.

Remember, though, that not everyone is a candidate for Invisalign® as some more complex orthodontic problems might require a different approach.
