Fix your crooked smile and feel more confident thanks to this clear aligner system.
Who says you’re too old for braces? Certainly not your dentists in Scottsdale, AZ, Drs. Terry & Mary Ann Work! In fact, 
more and more adults are turning to our dental team to fix their misaligned smiles thanks to Invisalign, a unique orthodontic system that uses clear plastic aligners rather than brackets and wires to shift teeth into the proper position. Read on to find out how this system works and to see if this is the right option for you.
What is Invisalign and how does it work?
Invisalign is an orthodontic system that uses clear, plastic aligners to fit over teeth and apply the proper amount of pressure so that they move into their correct positions over time.
Each aligner makes incremental movements and shifts in your smile through being worn for 20-22 hours each day for about two weeks at a time. After this two week period, each aligner is replaced with the next set until treatment is complete!
What smile problems can Invisalign fix?
Invisalign is able to address a wide range of orthodontic issues such as,
- Crookedness
- Gaps between teeth
- Overcrowding
- Bad bites/malocclusions (e.g. overbite, underbite, crossbite, open bite, etc.)
What are the benefits of Invisalign?
Our patients really love the freedom that Invisalign offers them throughout their treatment. The aligners are made from a flexible thermoplastic that is designed to be gentle and comfortable so that they won’t irritate gums. Once you get used to your new aligners, you may not even notice that you have them in!
Aligners are also transparent, making them less visible when you are smiling and talking to those around you. This treatment aspect is especially comforting for teens and adults who don’t want others to notice their braces.
Aligners can also be removed prior to eating so that you don’t have to worry about food restrictions like you would with traditional braces. This also means that food won’t get stuck in your braces, a recurrent factor that makes for difficult cleaning. In fact, aligners are extremely easy to keep clean!
