Teenagers are not the only ones walking around with crooked or misaligned teeth. Lots of adult mouths suffer from spacing or overcrowding issues. Wearing traditional metal braces can significantly alter your smile and appearance for anywhere from a year to two years. As a result, many mature adults often forego orthodontic treatment. Thankfully, there is an alternative for all of these reticent braces wearers: clear or invisible braces. Our expert in invisible braces in Los Angeles has embraced this new technology, and as long as you qualify for treatment, you can do the same.
Invisible braces involve wearing two sets of clear plastic aligners, one for the upper arc of your teeth and one for the lower. Every two weeks, you switch to a new pair of aligners. Your teeth are gradually rearranged in your mouth over the length of your treatment time, which averages at about a year.
With invisible braces, you are your own advocate, so regularly switching to a new pair of aligners is crucial to seeing results. You should also remove your invisible braces while eating and clean them periodically.
The biggest perk of invisible braces, apart from comfort and convenience, is the subtlety of the treatment process. With invisible braces, your friends and family may not even know you are wearing braces! If you would like to consult our orthodontist in Los Angeles on invisible braces, call our office today.
