Tips for Finding an Orthodontist
Today, most people have no interest in using metal wires and brackets to straighten their smiles, not when so many better options, such as Invisalign, are available. And here at Signature Smiles Dental, Drs. Geomel Bebing and Harun Ayouby are skilled in this exciting, revolutionary orthodontic service.
What Makes Invisalign Special?
Invisalign Clear Aligner is an orthodontic treatment that uses several removable clear plastic aligner trays. This system does not use traditional metal wires and brackets. With our dentists’ expertise and our revolutionary 3D intraoral dental imaging system, the clear trays are custom designed to precisely fit each individual’s smile. Using this technology, we can show you the projected results before you commit to the treatment.
The trays are crystal clear; most people will never know you’re wearing them. You can take them out for everyday activities such as eating and cleaning, which you cannot do with traditional braces.
Because of the ease of use, compliance rates are much higher for folks using transparent aligner systems such as Invisalign than traditional orthodontics. Plus, patients can finish treatment much sooner, depending on the severity of the misalignment.
Finding and Orthodontist in Riverside, California
Many patients are eager to learn more about Invisalign as it’s much more comfortable and aesthetically appealing than traditional orthodontics. This modern approach to straightening teeth is relaxed and does not irritate or chafe the inside of your mouth the way metal braces can.
But, while Invisalign can correct a large percentage of tooth alignment issues, there are cases in which traditional orthodontics will be the more effective approach. Limitations can include:
- Pegged or teeth that are too short
- Severe overbite
- Large gaps
- Teeth that are too rotated
- Extrusion or intrusion, meaning Invisalign can’t lower or raise the position of teeth.
- Previous dental work, such as bridges or partial dentures, may disqualify Invisalign as an orthodontic option.
