When you want a straighter smile but wish to avoid wearing traditional metal braces, The Invisalign® system offers a proven method of realignment that is highly effective in treating mild to moderate orthodontic issues. Because Invisalign aligners use a series of clear, custom-made trays, they can easily be combined with other cosmetic dental treatments to completely transform your smile.
When part of a complete aesthetic treatment plan, teeth straightening is often the first step as it reveals more of the tooth’s surface, allowing thorough cleaning and easier prosthetic placement if necessary. However, in some cases of severe crowding, the extraction of one or more teeth would be performed first. As your teeth move into the proper positions, your cosmetic dental treatment options increase.
Invisalign and Teeth Whitening
Adding professional strength whitening gel to the inside of your Invisalign trays toward the end of your orthodontic treatment is an excellent way to achieve both a straighter and brighter smile. The tray’s snug fit evenly distributes the whitener, to uniformly increase the brightness of teeth up to eight shades. If your teeth have become discolored over the years due to consuming dark foods and beverages or the use of tobacco products, teeth whitening kits can lift those stains.
Porcelain Veneers
If you have teeth that are chipped, mildly cracked, or permanently stained due to antibiotic use, illness, or genetics, porcelain veneers can conceal these minor flaws. Once treatment with Invisalign is complete, the dentist can add one or more veneers, or use bonding to address these issues.
Crowns and Bridges
A straighter smile is a healthier smile. If you have a damaged tooth, correcting it is much simpler if the teeth aren’t crowded together. Also, if you have gaps in your smile, restorations like bridges are more successful when placed on teeth that are aligned correctly. These gaps also contribute to further shifting of teeth, making prompt intervention even more important.
Many solutions exist to replace missing teeth. In addition to traditional bridges, implant-supported restorations can replace teeth from the root up. This complete method of tooth replacement offers stability and security for the function of your smile that is unmatched by conventional restorations.
When spaces are left by missing teeth in a newly straightened smile, replacing them can complete your transformation.
